Anyone else had this problem? I have snow socks!! but I know this will not be good enough.

Try Thule CK-7 The thinnest snow chain ever. they will fit 215 /45 /18

There is another route which bypasses Reims as well this is slightly quicker as there are a number of tolls through Reims, avoid Paris at all costs

You can get the train to Cluses than local buses to Samoens, Morillon, Flaine, Les Carroz all Grand Massif or Les Gets, Morzine and Avoriaz
