My new ski trousers I bought from D2B in their sale turned up today, and I'm really cross. My old ones were 'Animal' size 12 and I'm a bit fat for them at the moment, so I ordered some more from D2B in their sale, size 14. And I've just tried them on, and they're exactly the same size as my old size 12 ones!
And what's more, I've always worn cotton leggings underneath, because nylon etc. makes me itch, but after listening to everyone going on about how bad cotton is as a base layer, I thought I'd better get some proper thermal leggings from D2B and I only had them on for about 2 minutes and now I'm all itchy! So, tomorrow I will have to work out how to return my shopping. Honestly, what a waste of time :evil: Ally |

Well, As long as her feet haven't changed size since she bought the boots :D and the boots are the wrong size now, I would say that the vendors haven't got a leg (or boot) to stand on. They are supposed to be the experts, not the customer. I agree with Snowbandit - go back to the shop and complain. Has she still got the invoice? Ally |

I have had a very careful look for the 3 valleys lift pass terms and conditions, on several websites, and I can't find them. I have also just bought the Courchevel lift pass, myself, a few days ago, and there are no conditions enclosed with the passes.
However, I do think that the passes are non-transferable, and they just seem to have forgotten to say so. I found the conditions for Avoriaz no problem, and they definitely say that 'ski lift passes valid for more than 2 days are strictly personal'. http://www.skipass-avoriaz.com/cgv_avoriaz_gb.pdf I think that, as has already been said, it would be a much better idea for each parent to take it in turns to look after the kids for a whole day, rather than swapping over at lunch time. It is a very interesting question, whether the 3 Valleys passes are transferable, thanks for bringing it up. I hope someone else can clarify the situation - it must be written somewhere, surely!

Vraiment? C'est incroyable! (Sorry just got back from my French lessons). There was an awful lot of publicity about how hard it was going to be, getting a ski holiday in half-term, because everyone was supposed to be off the same week. In some ways I suppose it's better to stagger the holidays, the way the French do, but on the other hand it would be annoying if, say, you were a teacher over the border of a particular region and your kids got different holidays. I'm not bothered about there being loads of French people about, it will mean there are more people I can practice my rubbish French on :twisted: Ally |

Hi Paul,
I'm glad you decided to take the plunge and start posting :D :D Ally |

Oh, I see, I thought they might have a way of separating foot and ski-ing passengers.
Well, I hope her French is very good (or the lift operator has very good English)! I am just doing my French homework now, for my adult French lessons, and I wouldn't like to have to explain all this in French. If one is not allowed to swap lift passes then I suppose the answer will definitely be 'no'. Ally |

I suppose it depends if the lift operators notice that they're using a foot pass. I don't know how the system works, because I've never seen anyone without skis (or a board) getting on a lift. If they go through the barrier just like everyone else, then I don't suppose it will matter, but I would have thought there was some way of policing the scheme, because otherwise everyone would get the cheaper foot pass if they were only going to use whichever lifts one can use with that pass.
Sorry I can't help. I will be interested to hear what the others say about it. Ally |

Sheil,
Are you allowed to swap lift passes like that? I never thought of trying that. Ally |
