Hi fellow skiers,
I am thinking of skiing for 3 days in Flaine, as it looks like a decent big resort not to far from Geneva Airport, can any one tell us if the skiing is good there i am an Intermediate skier, I like long and wide blue/red runs, I have skied in Les menuire and Arc 1950 and La plange which i really enjoyed, how does flaine compare.
Thanks in advanced
At least 150 people have been rescued after being trapped for several hours in ski lift gondolas in the resort of Chamrousse in the French Alps.

A vast rescue operation was launched after the lift broke down at about 15:00 local time (14:00 GMT) and was completed by 17:30, AFP said.

No-one was injured during the incident.

Rescuers reached the top of each gondola and released the skiers through the roof hatch before lowering them to the ground.

The skiers had been suspended around 25m (82ft) above the snow before ropes were used to bring them down.

I agree, its a shame to waste precious time in the alps just to learn how to snow plough (plow) on a green run
