Well.......
I really like my red and grey Descente one piece and will be very sad when it gives up on me.
:roll:

3V is closer - you could park in Brides Les Baines and get the long (40min) bubble up to Meribel.

But unless your group is desperate to I wouldn't bother. Long way to go when you have such a good area "on your doorstep" so to speak.

Unlikely you will ski all of Paradiski in 6 days.

Panic not Mahound.
Keep positive, keep fit and keep going.
The kids always progress rapidly but there are a wealth of ways that the savvy parent can keep them in check!
:mrgreen:
For example my 19yo Lout crashes down the slopes without a care in the world.
So I don't tell him where we are going so he has to follow me.
I am a better skier than him and a few "oh my god" moments at the top of something challenging slows him down.
Obviously I have better skis :lol:
And I am careful with any tips I offer - got to keep him in his place as long as possible.

The being paid or not discussion seems a bit hypothetical.
Wouldn't want to be the chalet washer upper on £30 a week spending a night or two in jail while someone found a "contract" to see if he/she was paid for skiing in any way......
And then the wait and wait and wait while some lawyers argued over the translation of "associated services as required for the running of the chalet" and whether "associated services" included skiing with guests or not.
Put a real damper on some poor kids ski season that would.

Don't forget to let us know how you get on.
