Cheers Jon!

Tail gating was not a problem, they just overtook up to 5 cars at a time. Assuming nothing was coming round a bend.

Now, putting chains on a bus must be hard!!

We went for the slush time. Now on tarmac and still some drivers with them. Don't think they were compulsion today as police not enforcing

While I am sitting in the passenger seat of the car going down a hill chained up. Time for a rant.

1. Why don't people read the instruction when they put them on instead of letting them snap or come off while driving

2. Why do BMW drivers try to get uphill without chains and end up getting towed?

3. Why do some 'local' drivers seem think it is ok to race down a snowy road and overtake on the outside of a bend with cars coming the other way?

4. At what stage do you take the chains off?

Safe journey to all those going back today, and for the guy who just passed us with his rear wheel wobbling, don't use luck - use a spanner!!!!

:shock:

Yep, bluebird day today. Stopped snowing about 6am

Has not stopped snowing for 24 hours here. Road out of val t closed this morning for avalanche control

Lying here in bed listening to the explosives going off. But not in the distantance, just round the corner. Very very loud!

All night the snow plough were at work outside the apartment

Change over day people have to get out..

We leave at 9am fully chained up!

Yes, but disco here in j2ski land you don't just get answers.....you get the full shooting match to bore your mates with....

Fq is correct. For all those with a fear of flying will be pleased to hear that when you fly through a thunderstorm the plane gets hit a lot!!!

But as not connected to the ground everyone continues with their gin and tonic...

Thunder does not necessairly mean rain. Thunder is simply warm air meeting cold air, so it can thunder and snow. You won't have problems with pistes closing. I have just been out in a 100kmh wind....they stayed open
