I thought about the new Bonjour chalet in Les Arcs for our next J2Ski group holiday, in 2014. I decided against it.

Good news.

I've just read this includes Thomson and Crystal withdrawing ski hosting too. "The French police have stopped a group of UK skiers out with their Crystal Ski hosts in Courchevel." 18/1/13 http://www.planetski.eu/news/4580

Im pretty certain that all the british TO's put a lot of business in the hands of ESF, they better hope that there isn't a backlash from them.
If it were me i would start promoting and sending my customers to the smaller Ski Schools such as ESI, Oxygene and New Gen.

How long will it be before a someone leading the way within a group of friends gets taken to task?

Personally i look for this kind of thing from a TO as i can often be found skiing alone. I don't want lessons and i'm certainly not going to pay for a piste guide.

Looks great - were you cruising or are you just a great skier? How many weeks have you done now?

At 0:46 it looks like a load of lemmings about to jump. What was the queue for? Was is a bit daunting?

Do you ski alone when little snapzzz is in ski school?

1. I mainly just cruise about.
2. 5 weeks (only first was ski school)
3. That vid makes it look far less steep than it is. I think those people were just waiting for courage.
4. I get up early and get first lift. Mrs and little one lie in and come out about 11:30 - 12:00. I explore alone in the AM.

In most countries that would be trespassing still though wouldn't it?

That is something i was going to mention too. There does seem to be so much wasted space.

The image below is how i am replying to this. At least 50% of screen space is just white and vacant. Having the reply box so narrow makes it hard work for me.

Adders, i understand the need for a site that adapts to all devices but surely that was what your mobile version was for? That worked great on my iPhone and the full site worked fine on my iPad.
Can i ask what drove the need for change?

Some of the new style looks fine, the fonts and graphics look smarter and sharper but the general layout lets it down.

I don't wish to sound negative and i do hope my comments help in some way.
