Dont think it was made for skiiers of your ability Andy ;)

At the end of a hard day, slow is fine :)

Cheers for the info guys.

I WANT TO BE THERE NOW!!!!

pleeeese :)

I had my work xmas party on Friday (I was drinking a lot of the happy juice in training for skiing)

I chose to sit next to the CFO....I know, bad mistake as I had to be on best behaviour!!

Great decision, he is a keen skier!! I asked him for his opinion on the Euro. He said it wont collapse. Simple

I believe him. He also showed me a pic of his wife skiing last year....she is nice :D

Due to me being on different PC when I did then they are different zooms, but you get the jist ;)

Was reading about it the other day. It is a new magic carpet that is under cover. They are called "Castor & Pollux". The carpets are also the fastest so far installed in France, meaning more snow time, and travelling at up to 1.2 metres per second, increasing capacity to 3,000 people per hour. The carpet lifts also run in two directions, providing a ride down when needed, as well as up over the 240m length.
