:D Oh yes, they loved backing themselves onto your lap, and although it was discouraged, it was great when they stood up and put their paws on your shoulders. My dog was nearly 6' 4" like that. He also had this habit of literally getting into the spare bed if the door was not shut properly. He would actually get under the quilt and pull it back over himself fully :shock:

ha-ha! We had to get ours her own real bed as she wouldn't be satisfied with anything else. And a blanket in winter. Definitely taller than 6' standing up.

Ooo, medium size dog :lol: What do you have? My last dogs were Great Danes, and they were never going to get carried either... or so I thought :shock: [you need to know Danes to understand that comment :twisted: Marmaduke is totally accurate!]

Once you get to Berne it's about 3 hours. But yes, weather could be a huge factor especially when you get to route de la Forclaz. Driving through Geneva is more reliable but in good weather it's longer.

GPS?:) I guess it might be through Switzerland. via Berne-Fribourg-Vevey-Martigny-Vallorcine

Lot of options to get tranfered to Chamonix. We usually just turned up at the airport - it's very convenient when you can't finish on Friday in time to catch the last bus from town. Always worked.

You will need a bus to get to ski lifts from Chamonix Sud. The only lift withing walking distance from there is Aiguille du Midi telepherique.

yay! and freezing level is dropping. Looks like I might get some turns before December! Should probably change my dates in 'sleeps till ski time" to November 23:)

ha-ha, Ranchero, I like what you said about buses. So true!
