Next time my helpful OH tells me to lean forward down the hill (as he is inclined to do with annoying regularity), I shall report him to the French authorities.

:lol:

However, should you have planned to ski the Sarenne......

La Sarenne is at ADH (neighbouring resort), isn't it? Are they on strike there too?

Or a nice game of Beer Pong?

To stop off for an early afternoon drink, it is OK but once the music starts and the monsters come out, I leave. However I do confess to owning one of their T-shirts but these are of good quality, unlike the majority of their clientele :-o

Always read the small print and don't be afraid to cross out the bits you don't agree with and then present the modified contract and tell them that is what you are prepared to sign up to. Most desk jockeys do not understand the T&C's and will give in just to get the sale.

If I remember rightly, we had to stagger our visits to that bar, so as not to frighten the natives. I distinctly remember karaoke night on the Thursday but not much of the journey home!
However once again a jolly good ski holiday, thanks to our organiser OA.

Sitting in Basecamp bar in St Anton and I can report it is SNOWING at last and hurrah, shame we only have one day left here but next weeks skiers should fare better than we have

It was a good show, much better than the last one I went to. However without the free tickets (thanks J2Ski) I doubt I would have paid such a high entrance fee to attend.
