empty slopes for closing at Zinal, should have photographed the téléphérique as today was the last day with the old cabines.

there is :D although it's not likely to be an issue for skiers :D

Very true though, you can also drink too little and that's the main problem with a camelbak or similar hydration system, it's very difficult to monitor your liquid intake. There's the other problems like them freezing, getting contaminated, not being robust in a sack full of other gear etc which in the round make them a poor choice. At times where hydration is a genuine issue carrying nalgene bottles is better and making scheduled stops for hydration will guarantee liquid intake can be monitored.

I feel terrible now :oops: I'd not realised your only motivation was 100% unadulterated altruism, if you inadvertently made some money, any thoughts on what charity you'd donate to? :lol:

Lift pass is a bit pricey, can you do any offers???????

I think I've a link for discounts at Alpine Meadows, I could send it by PM to you, I wouldn't want to spam J2SKI with it :D

Turns out this quite widespread, the staff in our supermarket only speak French and German. No news on their spelling or punctuation though.

I didn't think I needed at the time so I didn't pay any attention, trying to learn other languages without knowing it is nearly impossible though.

it's actually present perfect which I followed by a past participle :lol: used to express indefinite time which is supposed to be particularly hard to understand in English although it seems no simpler in French or German to me.
