Apparently there is a problem with our local area network. Engineer heading our way soon.

I am assuming that that side of the mountain must be unable to support new piste routes or lifts?

There always seems to be a problem with getting the webpage for buying lift passes to work. Just keep trying and it should connect, but when it gets busy it can take ages.

neilsen discovery £210 online les arc web site £205 so nothing to beef about on that. however the leas arc website does say that book before 31/10(and it asks what dates you will ski)and it gives 15% discount which roughly equates to £175. so this is now the question i have - despite the fact the site says you get 15 % discount the help pages say you can only order online 4 days before you use the pass. text below is copied from the les arc web site.

any feedback appreciated..

My order

How far ahead do I have to order my ski passes?
You can order them on the Internet 4 days before the first day of ski of the skipass chosen (for example from wenesday to sunday): pick up your ski passes at the sales outlet of your choice.
You can order 10 days before your stay (valid for France - 15 days for other countries) if you prefer to have your ski passes sent to your home by post.

How much does it cost to have them sent to my home?
Postage is free. We will send your ski passes by standard post.

When will the ski passes arrive at my home?
We will send them as soon as we have received the required payment and any necessary proof of ID.

What do I do if I don't receive confirmation of my order?
If you pay by bank card, you will soon receive confirmation by email. If this does not happen, please email us at contact@ski-lesarcs.com.

What documentation will you ask for when I come to pick up my ski passes?
When you go to one of our sales outlets, you will be asked to provide the confirmation of your Internet order.

What proof of ID do you accept?
You can upload a scanned image of your ID card or passport directly in your order.



I think i take all that to mean that you must order at least four days before if you intend to collect them or at least ten days before if you want them posting.

I am ordering mine today for postage to my house after Crystal kindly refunded the payment i made to them without a admin fee. It took a bit of negotiating but they finally saw my pov.
