Sorry - keep the goggles safe that is, don't think goggles can magically keep ski boots safe??

Actually - I forgot - tend to put my goggles inside one of the boots, reckon this will keep them safe.

In the hold - definately! In my bag, at the bottom, well stuffed with socks etc.
They are pretty much indestructable from anything an airline/baggage handler can throw at them. |

Getting over to Val Thorens from Meribel isn't difficult, several routes over, some you pass through Les menuires but you can get directly to Val Thorens.
Is it worth the effort? That depends on what you like to ski. It is a very open and exposed ski area, so can be much colder and windier than Courchevel, and quite bleak. But being generally high holds the good snow, for me this is the attraction. Late season spring skiing when Meribel valley is full of flowers brings out the best in Val Thorens. For me the hidden gem of the whole Val Thorens valley is Pointe De la Masse above les Menuires. I love this mountain, good skking, generally much quieter than the rest of the valley as it is not on a route to anywhere and holds the snow well due to its aspect. La Masse is well worth the effort in my view, whereas fighting all the way to the Cime de Carron may not be. Hope this helps. |

I'd like to volunteer to test the app. once it is in beta mode :lol:
Obviously you'll need to get me to mountains in all of the more common ski areas to test out it's functionality. Happy to pay for my own lunches ....... :roll: |

Wrong coloured socks !!!! Ye Gods - I expect you have grown up to be one of those skiers whose boots are not colour coordinated with their outfit? Nightmare !! :( |
