Talking of freezing in the winter I had been in L2A for a week and decided to fill up on the way down the hill ...My filler cap lock had frozen solid and took 20 mins of messing to defrost ..but I have had no problems with frozen diesel though

how about

I drive a Rover Streewise diesel as my daily driver and have taken it round the Alps twice..It has snow tyres and I have never had to use the chains. Ideally I would like something a bit bigger. Having driven diesel Range Rovers I find them very sluggish but comfortable. Diesel is the fuel to go for as it is cheaper on the continent and you get more mpg. The Toyotas have a reputation for reliabilty and are quite easy to find ..but consider the Suzuki S4 /Fiat seicento good value but a bit smaller ...also the Hyundai Santa Fe ...a good solid car

maybe another view of your legs might tempt someone....

I don't remember any either but there is a nice cruisy blue down to Mont Albert also to Les Coches ..its much more interesting than Les Arcs but as Kenny said ..its not cheap ..food in the supermarkets and shops is expensive ..I think a phrase I used when I went was .."gold plated chicken".. but I would go back

Now my method,after years of youtube research, is to gently heat the sole of the ski till it quite warm and then give them a good clean using a mild solvent or wax cleaner. I then repair the soles if needed..ah the smell of burning P.Tex in the morning, then give the edges a sharpen . I then warm the soles up again and rub a generous helping of wax all over: I find this is less messy than melting wax onto the sole then spreading it.. I then run the iron over the wax until its melted and allow to cool then scrape off the excess and then brush vigorously with a stiff brush ..I use an old travel iron and a plastic scraper with a stiff scrubbing brush also some fine wet and dry sandpaper to smooth the soles after administering the PTex
