Dorest Boy - see I've just rated you a 5....

And now you have 5 stars.

ADMIN - sorry for the clear abuse of the rating system - but DB will now see how it works.

The stars change in REAL TIME.

So your current 'value' is shown on previous posts - not just future ones.

I both agree and disagree - if that's possible.

Last year I worked on the 32nd Floor of the Citigroup Tower in Canary Wharf and the views were fantastic towards Greenwich, London Eye, Wembley Arch - I could even see the smoke when Bunsfield blew up.

But then you went to the other side of the building and looked over to the 'Eastend' and thought what a dump...

I read an article sometime ago...

I can't remember the exact comment but it was something like this.

"in a bobsleigh you don't break your bones - they shatter"

You have to put alot of faith in the driver.

Try VODKA - I keep my bottle of Absolute on the freezer at home....

No worries.

Always check da small print!

Are you serious - a pair of skis is likely to weight more than 6kg on their own I would imagine

Perhaps the 'Head of Ski Luggage' at the airline only uses Blades!!!!!

The village-des-enfants is good.

I used it for lessons for my son when he was 4.

Running though the centre of Avoriaz town is the greenest of green pistes.

There were many other English children there too (not sure if that's a good thing!!!)

Car Parks ?? I didn't drive - but Avoriaz is a traffic free resort. Only horse drawn sleighs and ski-dos. So if you park in the 'main' Avoriaz car parks, you still need to move your luggage to your accommodation. This could be a pain in the ass, depending on where your accommodation is. Double to grief with young kids.

Therefore perhaps the convience of the car parks closer to Avoriaz is worth the price.

I think you bigger question should be wether you have a covered car park or open air.

If you go, open air, be prepared to dig yourself out if your 'lucky' enough to see alot of freash snow while you're away.....

Don't forget, this lucky young lady is having a week in Tignes, followed by Christmas in Courchevel, probably both funded by daddy. A little hardship on the transfer would probably be good for her :twisted:

Let her make her own way Red - it'll be character forming :wink:
