I am currently in Montgenevre chatted yesterday to two guys who were skiing over in Claviere the day before and they said that loudspeakers told them that everyone had to go back to their own resorts as lifts were going to shut so they couldn't go any further and had to return to Montgenevre. Nobody knew why, sadly we do now. I will ask about piste closures.

If you could that would be great. Also if any TO doing transfers - I've heard crystal may be, I'm with inghams :(

I'm surprised J2ski news has not picked up on the terrible news of the young 9 year old skier that died on the slopes in Sauze. As a result of this, unfortunately the red and blue runs from the top of Fraiteve are closed (route back from Sestriere and San Sansciario), this means the only way back is via 2 black runs. The report say that they are not difficult black runs, but imagine what they will be like after the whole of the area comes back this way....

I'm not writing this post pretending to be a newsreader (Mr J2Ski News does a great job of that), my question is - does anyone else know about this and any ideas whether there's any buses doing the trip between the resorts? Our group has 1 beginner and one intermediate in addition to me and my mate (who could do the blacks), this could potentially cut off a fair bit of the ski area.

I've tried to contact Iglu & Inghams on Social Media but got nowhere.

:evil:

Hey Adders! Are j2ski towers considering building an app and joining the modern world? There's so much stuff you could put on it, I'd defo use it over the website - there's your reason alone, an app for icy :)

Yep, woken up, downloaded ski apps bookmarked web cams - got 9 weeks until I go so hoping and dancing for some of the white stuff in Italy!

Remember the snow dance you initiated, created snow. Maybe you wheel that out again

I'll get it on iPlayer :)

When. Where?

Go to George's Bar. There's a video on youtube - search George's bar, Borovets :)

I always book ski separately for a number of reasons

1. Generally you can get a better price than the bolt on that comes with TO

2. If you arrange yourself, you can choose a shop convenient to your Accomodation, saving a potential trapese across the town

3. As you are not going to the same shop as other TO guests, the queues are shorter or non existent. Pre book online with full details your gear is sitting there ready

4. I like to be self sufficient.

Sounds like we agree :D

Ps - we will be booking separate. Remembered from last time that inghams gear was poop!

I'm sitting on a beach in southern Spain at the minute. We've just spent a week near (ish) the Sierra Nevada at j2skier Wickers place. Very
Nice indeed

Just noticed morzine opens In 103 days :)

Only 1 week for us this year, booked Sauze for March
