It's dumping down above Val too. This is the 360 Solaise webcam.

A serious dump on the way, mostly tonight. Over 20cm due in Val D'Isere.

This is from the NHS website:



Each country's healthcare system is slightly different. Therefore, your EHIC might not cover everything that would be free on the NHS. However, you should be able to get the same treatment as a resident of the country you're visiting.
In some countries, you may have to pay a patient contribution, also known as a co-payment. See our county-by-country guide for more information.
You may be able to get a refund for these payments when you're back in the UK if you could not do so in the country where you were treated.
The EHIC will cover any medical treatment that becomes necessary during your trip, for example because of either illness or an accident. (In an emergency you can dial the European emergency number 112 from any telephone or mobile phone).
The card gives access to reduced-cost or free medical treatment from state healthcare providers.
It includes treatment of a chronic or pre-existing medical condition that becomes necessary during your visit.
It includes routine maternity care (not only because of illness or accident), as long as you're not going abroad to give birth. However, where the birth happens unexpectedly, the card will cover the cost of all medical treatment for mother and baby that is linked to the birth.
The card covers the provision of oxygen and kidney dialysis. You will have to arrange and pre-book these treatments before you go on holiday. You can ask your GP or hospital for advice, but make sure you are not booked with a private healthcare provider as these are not covered by the EHIC.
The card also covers routine medical care for people with pre-existing conditions that need monitoring.

The EHIC is not an alternative to travel insurance. It will not cover any private medical healthcare or costs such as mountain rescue in ski resorts, being flown back to the UK, or lost or stolen property. Therefore, it is important to have both an EHIC and a valid private travel insurance policy. Some insurers now insist you hold an EHIC and many will waive the excess if you have one.
The EHIC will not cover your medical expenses if you are going abroad specifically to have treatment (including giving birth). Find out more about planned treatment abroad.
You may not be able to use the card in some parts of the EEA as state-provided healthcare may not be available.

We'll have to meet up for a ski when I'm there in January, we're staying in Mottaret.

Boys trip? Easy St Anton.



Sorted?

This new generation of cyclists produce 20% less power than the last a few years ago...
They are no longer super human, or perhaps that's incorrect they now are super human because they're doing it without needles and pills. Well most of them are... Pity the Spainish authorities are so far behind the game.

Interestingly, I see Bradley has already stated he is going to put most of his efforts into the Giro next year, as well as the Paris Roubaix.

Yep, Froome will be team leader for the Tour with Brad in a supporting role.
As Sky said earlier in the year, if the route suited Froome he would be leading.

When they reach the top the first time they'll still have 50km to go!
