Its not the Christoph

Hi...Just caught this post...a bit late I know but ..here goes...i really enjoyed teh Pere Mairie..as EJS said the staff are great (give my love to Aimee and Belinda) the rooms are comfortable and the food is good...the situation is quiet ..there are no shops and 1 bar in Le Pre but you will have a good time ..if you are using satnav the first 2 turn-offs it will give you will get you there but are NOT the ones marked on the instructions give by Bonjour ...use the 3rd to follow their instructions and remember you are going to Le Pre ..not Villaroger ...when you get to the church in Le Pre go round the corner and stop..the chalet is on your right.as to the skiing you can get back from Les Arcs on a very easy blue but it is VERY uninteresting and sometimes uphill the red then blue back from the top is doable and most of the beginners managed it when I was there I enjoyed my stay there and would go back again

but at least at the top of a run you must look around and say "shall I go down there"..

what's to stop the chalet companies having a "social organiser" who happens to ski most days and invites the rest of the chalet to ski with him for company...

I have been in both types of holidays and have found that I like to ski with 1 or 2 people of similar ability and who like to stop and enjoy the scenery ..not ski from place to lace at warp speed..but it is nice to have the availability...

I have found that skiing with a host tends to stop you thinking about where you are at ..you tend to blindly follow your leader and not consult the map or even plan a route ..so the question " where did you get to today" can't be answered..and you tend not to plan anything before you set off

interesting survey...half the answers depend on the attitude to fashion ...and to what question "what do you perceive as stylish"?

seen sites in Meribel and a big park in Les Gets which was nearly ski into

I bought a pair of smith i/is this season and cannot fault them ...interchangeable lenses and they don't steam up...but you get what you pay for
