Hi Iceghost,
Aren't all the snow guns supposed to be surrounded in protective foam and coloured orange? That sounds really horrible. How awful for him and his friends and family.

Sami,
Have a look at what I said on the previous page. If I guessed the correct Ryanair flight for you, then it definitely said it was cancelled at the time. I tried that link I posted again, and it's all changed now to include flights for Sunday, apart from anything else, and that flight isn't on the cancelled list any more.

I'm glad to hear your OH is feeling a bit better now. Don't worry about it. My parents had a somewhat similar experience when trying to fly out to their honeymoon in Madeira, with a big row in a public telephone box because the weather was too rough for the seaplane (which my Dad especially wanted) to land on the sea. And they've been married for 54 years now :D :D :D

Have fun,

Ally

Have a look at the threads 'Re: Alpe d'Huez news' and 'Re for those flying out this weekend'.

We are still waiting to hear from most of them, after a truly epic journey.

Ally

I'm very pleased to hear you finally got there okay Sami. I was keeping a check on the flights to see how far you'd got. Did you apply for a refund for the cancelled Ryanair flight?

I think most of your troubles were just caused by the extreme weather we've been having. I hope your OH has forgiven you now :D

Have fun :D :D :D

Ally

The good news now is that Sami and his OH got to Alpe d'Huez okay at last!

I wonder how the rest of them are getting on ...

Yes, I thought so too - lots of lovely young athletic men in lycra underpants - how disappointing :cry:

Ally

Well done for sticking it out. I hope you learn to ski properly before the snow all melts :wink:

Edit - Ise, you wear lycra underpants? really? Me, I always stick to cotton :D

cotton kills :-) lycra's a good cheap material nowadays.

Well Ise,
I suppose if you need something that can stretch a long way ... :D

Personally I need something that can go in the tumble drier, as I don't like hanging out my underwear in front of our holidaymakers.

And, back to the subject, how many J2skiers attempted to get out to Alpe D'Huez this weekend anyway? Does anyone know?
