Yeah, snow is coming. About 1 meter is expected this week which should provide a good base. As of Saturday I saw grass sticking out in the middle of the piste and off-piste was full of rocks, literally nothing to ski on, but snow that fell Sunday and yesterday started to fix it. had great skiing yesterday despite lack of visibility, but lack of visibility = fewer people so if snow is good I take it anytime over a bluebird day:)

You will need to take lessons. A lot of them. Practicing "basic skills" won't take you very far regardless of the hours spent practicing - particularly in Chamonix. Also, practice makes permanent so if you do something wrong bad habits can be difficult to get rid of later and in skiing they will always catch you eventually. You can join ski school, group lessons are cheaper, they often take place in the mornings and you will have afternoons free. Then practice what you've learned, after you get comfortable take more lessons.

zero sleeps, I am off in a couple of hours and then hopefully won't be off the snow by longer than 5 sleeps till May.

Nice picture. This year it started couple weekes earlier. And indeed last year slopes looked like that until December 10 when it started snowing, but then some resorts had to close because of too much snow. Still means nothing for the season. two years ago that much snow fell by the end of October and this is what we were skiing on until end of season. |

You should have called yourself a student working on a thesis, made up a list of questions, and used one of the survey animals:)

I checked. Unfortunately they don't have Vario with carbon cartridges, and only sell them already with a steel cartridge. The one for 499 euros is too small. |

I don't think it's advertising, just a marketing research:) Like when you want to advertise online you want to ensure that the words used are those that are commonly used in searches.
