Could it have been the handlers at the airport not being clear about Swiss T&C's?

Pester!

With a black (not naturide or itinery) running down the middle of it.

But it is a dodgy spot and the Sache black is frequently closed due to weather and snow fall.

It hasn't been open yet this year and the access lifts on that side from Les Boisses and Les Brevieres aren't due to open until this coming weekend.

I would love to know what if any warnings etc were posted at the top of the Aiguille Percee chair???

I would expect that the access to this side of the valley from the top was roped off.

As I said before ....
Being on the list and then not mentioning the trip is COOL !!!!
Not being on the list and then counting down daily, even hourly, etc etc etc is definately not cool.
:lol:
I wouldn't say it is sad - sad would be not going.
:cry:
Not being on the list and then making sure everyone knows one is both, not on the list and when one is going skiing is......

Well I don't know !!!

Icy ......
Now look - you may not be on the spreadsheet but you have made it abundantly clear where you are going and when and who with and what the Xmas pressies for your party are and .........

Whereas Adders hasn't mentioned skiing at all in my recollection.

Uber cool is to mention the plans once in September and then nothing again until return and trip report posted.

Oh that is good to hear.

Was getting a bit worried that you were not skiing this season as you have remained "unofficial".

They seem to get a regular bunch on each day. I am trying to make it a few times before we go in the New Year as my daughter has persuaded me to swap the skis for a board. S if you see a middle aged bloke on his arse again and again that will probably be me....

Do they have a webcam?
