BTW if you also look at the Skiing Mont Blanc entry, you will spot a very well known skier :thumbup:

I'm waiting for your talkthrough covering being towed by a piste basher in 2 lines of 20, and also how to ride the Va et Vient :D

Come to Switzerland, we have lots of Poma's :D Come to think of it, so has France. They are useful for keeping certain slopes free of folks who would not enjoy being there -)

Those of you considering your next renewal may want bear my experience with AA Insurance in mind.

Bad news :( Time for you to engage in their formal complaint procedure, and then prepare your paperwork for submission to the Financial Ombudsman.

Last time I was in Val D'Isere there was still a rope tow on the plateau. AFAIK some of the UK indoor snow facilities still use them. I remember my 1st ski lessons on a Dendix slope, uplift was a rope tow. Good character building stuff :mrgreen:

I look good without a top on. I reckon I'd look way better than you, no matter how much you diet :P

Snapzzz, muscle burns more calories, therefore a lean bod with plenty of muscle tone can eat more. Do what Admin suggests, it is the sensible route.

Ranchero_1979, quite agree :thumbup: Wonderful town, and mountain diversity with a stunning backdrop like no where else in the world.
