It's not the last drinks fault, it's the first one's for tasting soooo good!

Pavel how's the flooding been in you're house, hope not much damage to your property/ belongings

really pleased it's going well, you having any issues with the injury? Did you have any issues with your boot fittings for example?

Travel wash for socks, thermals, t shirts. Do it every day for your first three days if you got three pairs of socks and your sorted for the week. first pair will be dry by day four regardless of heating system in your accommodation. It does not take long. Take hand warmers with you a lot cheaper than in resorts. Would try to get balaclavas invade very cold.better to have them and not need them, than need them and not have them.
Multi pack of mini chocs you can never go wrong!

If you looking for picture postcard resort Tignes can in some eyes be called ugly.skiing very good for intermediates although a nasty black can be the only way back depending where your staying or you not planned your route back well

Think there's a huge difference between having a condition that's affecting your senses, tinnitus or loss of hearing good examples where you adjust your style attitude and awareness to compensate, as opposed to choosing to listen to music down the slopes with an invincibility complex.
Funny that you can buy helmets so your safer then lose one of your senses by getting speaker inserts in the ear muff.

I always struggle to know what to tip with instructors, especially if in a group and the arguments between groups some years. Buying a bottle of wine good idea but how do you carry it on your last lesson.
I have had private lessons on one holiday with two different instructors from same company one was insulted I offered a tip and the other must be a magician in the summer the speed the money disappeared.
Think the letter is a fantastic idea, I agree we always quick to complain but reticent to praise!
Always say hello to lift operator and get a huge mixture of reactions, worse is when they try to have a quick conversation as my foreign language skills are stretched by saying good morning! Hang my head in shame.

In Austria is the medical doctor the same as a pathologist, find it strange they medical field disagreeing in court
