I found a stall in town the other day selling Tartiflette. It wasn't bad, not quite mountain standard, but I did feel the need to go skiing after.

This rubbing in the chest option is working wonders. Gone through a pack of tissues already. Hopefully a shower in the morning will get rid of the smell!

My bed sheets will stink!!

I just dipped into this thread where I thought I might have last read and saw only part of your reply Icy and wondered what you'd been up to :shock:

Firstly, I come in peace. I think the end of the season is making some a bit tetchy, but it looks like you've all calmed down now.

I would definately consider the 2014 trip as I can't do the 2013 trip as its in January, I really don't mind where we go, as long as there's snow, that's all my requirements :)

I thought that too, but then I also thought that if you actually go REALLY high, and assuming the whole hotel or worse, town, isn't attending the same event, then it would be beautifully quiet on that very first run. £7 isn't that much in the grand scheme of things, if it includes a reasonable breakfast too.

We obviously have more thank just skiing to talk about :)

Just doing some research for next year and came across this on the Inghams website:

First Tracks Early Morning Ski:
A lift opens exceptionally early to take you up to enjoy breakfast in a mountain restaurant, ready to make the first tracks in the snow when the lifts fully open.

Price: £15 pp with the 2nd person free. Available from the week commencing 18th February. Book early as places are limited.

I assume it goes further than the nursery slope, would have to know where exactly you went to before making a decision and hopefully it would be more than just a ham roll for breakfast.

TARTIFLETTE!

Not very useful of you are at 2,000m and the wind is blowing, he won't be so keen to let you take a look at his map then!! :shock:

He told me that when he was out there a few weeks ago (and almost 30 degrees according to him), he saw someone skiing with said pants on and nothing else :shock:

I've just realised that my trip to hospital yesterday (scary heart thing, lots of crying, wires and blood samples) could possibly be related to the mornings incident with 20 year old boys pants.

BTW, I'm fine, wine is open.
