I think the term you're looking for is 'nonconformist', or perhaps not.
First snow 2012

Tignes is looking lovely this morning.



There's a decent covering right down to Le Brevieres

So how does a train improve a website? Or am I missing something?
Perhaps one of these for those left that haven't got lids?.....

Booking a late deal

Booked a chalet in Meribel 4 days before hand, based on forecast.
1st week in Jan. The people who were there at New Year paid over £1000 each and had no snow below 2000m.
It started snowing at 4pm as they came off the slopes on the Friday. It continued to snow until 8am Sunday morning, when the sun came out. We didn't see a cloud for the rest of the week.
3 Valleys was empty and the snow was perfect.
We paid about £200.
Linking the Arlberg - Good or bad thing?

Since when have Lech and Zurs been quiet? I've been to Arlberg 3 times but haven't noticed much difference in terms of how busy the slopes get. If anything because so many people head to St Anton for the off piste, I'd say the pistes are slightly less busy.
As for the environmental argument, I can't believe over the life of the lifts they will possibly contribute more CO2 than the motor transport that currently travels between the two areas.

They've been talking about this for at least a decade. Can only be a good thing, the bus is an absolute bun fight. Getting on the bus can be more challenging that the North Face of the Valluga!
I've got 32 going to Meribel in January, 30 of them are helmet wearers. Not sure about the other two.
I'd not be surprised al all if all 32 had lids on.
