Why have pancakes on a day when people tell you to?

Its nearly as bad as telling your wife you love her on valentines day, because you're SUPPOSED to.

How many people actually know the origins of SHROVE TUESDAY (aka Pancake Day)?
How many people who eat pancakes on Shrive Tuesday are actually religious and understand the true meaning of it (Lent)?

Some saddos think Lent is just about trying to lose weight :roll:

I DON'T BELIVE IT!!!

Really? I think not!

:shock: You have just announced that to 63,440 registered j2ski users and more!

It's biggest attraction is that it is (or should I now say was?)very quiet with only a handful of locals frequenting the place. :roll:

In answer to the OP's question, I have skied mostly all of the PDS and I have not on anyday been disappointed. My suggestion would be to look at a full PDS map, and choose an area to explore each day. You can get piste maps for each sector.

Don't over look Nyon, it's worth a fleeting visit as there are few nice runs over there up at Chamoissiere. I also recommend above Avoriaz at the Fornet where you will have plenty of opportunity to do the kind of off piste you enjoy.

Definitely spend some time on the swiss side there are some great reds and some blacks that are not as frightening as the Swiss wall. (As a matter of interest, the Swiss wall is an 'orange' apparently, as it is too difficult to be graded a black.

My favourite mountain restaurant is the one at the top of the Swiss Wall - Plenty of choice and I've always enjoyed what I've ordered. If you want to have a really decent meal then you could go to Les Cornettes in Chapelle d'Abondance. (You can ski there)

L'Etale restaurant in Morzine is a favourite of many, and Le Chaudanne about 5 min walk from the center is definitely worth a visit in the evening.

I'd go for Chamonix

...or you could take the Super Morzine gondola and ski the rest of the way!

I've never taken the bus.

I can't think of any hates or worries really.

I wouldn't say it worries me or go as far to say I hate it but mounds of snow cannon snow when you are not expecting it are not high on my list of things I look forward to when skiing!
