Stewart,
You're not trying to tell me that Ian's lost that bucket already??? :D
It was a very important j2ski bucket, and someone else might need it in a minute :lol:

Snowbandit, you're quite right, I left out 'snowsure'.

That really is important. I don't want to go all that way, and spend all that money, only to discover there's no snow when I get there :cry:.

I know, I think those Neos have gone to his head! Thankfully I have the week before to get some practice in. :shock:

I wouldn't worry Snowbandit, Tony hasn't been doing proper exercises - only walking to the pub and running up and down escalators in London carrying briefcases, whereas you of course have been using that step machine and doing crunchies ... :D

Here you are Ian (I pass Ian bucket). Please be good enough to wash it out and return it when you've finished with it :lol:

And Merry Christmas to one and all :D

I agree with most of that but I do like a traditional village

What matters to me is easy and cheap access to the Eurostar railway station, gondola out and ski in, ski hire and a supermarket handy to the apartment, and of course a great ski area with a very efficient lift system. I don't mind much what the place looks like as long as it is clean, functional, and safe.

There's some Christmas magic got into Snowplough's message. I tried quoting it and got quote marks, just like Ian :shock:

But it is ironic. Fancy not being able to go ski-ing because there's too much snow :lol:

Thanks Trencher,
I had a look at this site, and they do vari-focals as well as bi-focals (and they also do transitions). Vari-focals are supposed to be better than bi-focals because there is no cut off line between distance vision and reading vision - it happens gradually somehow.

I have vari-focals and my optician told me it was a good idea to get them early, before my reading eyesight had deteriorated too much, so that I could get used to them. He said people who have had bi-focals for a long time generally can't get used to vari-focals. Mine are fine. The first time I wore them for driving, I completely forgot I had them on, and they were no problem. So I can drive, ski, and read a piste map wearing them :D because they are transition vari-focals. I have forgotten how much I paid for them, but I rather think it was around £120 for the lenses and the frames. I can check if anyone wants to know.
