Depends on how much snow they have had and how warm the spring is. I can tell you it will be thin and slushy at resort level

Ugly ain't he, even without the Mud!!

I also understand they have the technology to use these clouds to spread the snow around evenly and adapt the snow fall to any type, heavy big flakes....great for Xmas, small crystal one etc. The best thing about this technology is the ability to cover accurately within a 5 metre areas so parts with little or no snow can be targeted to give an "all" coverage within resort, Interesting stuff Huh..I think the sky will be "Fool" with them in the next few years. :)

5 hours climbing up to come down. that's a lot of wasted drinking time if you ask me.

I can confirm that The Sphere nightclub MAY be quite good. On the Monday 4 of us were "persuaded" to go and check out the town. That would be a 65 year old, 52 year old, 50 ish year old a 46 year old mad women and our 19 year old baby. All would have been fine if we hadn't had about 4 beers and a litre of white wine before 8. We saw the town, well one bar, and the ladies MADE us dance and drink far to much before we noticed that the other 200 people in the place had gone home and the staff were folding up the tables. We were "invited" to leave!! Can confirm that Toffee vodka is....well toffee vodka. Allegedly we played Snow Angels and had a massive snowball fight on the way back. All I can recall is that it was hammering down with snow and it was all uphill and seemed three times as far to walk back as it did to go there. We all made breakfast at 0730 though and skied all day. Just to confirm our nightmare we did it again on Wednesday. :D :D . It wasn't my fault !!

Agree Courmayeur is OK but B****y expensive

Firstly its got to be comfortable, second I would probably buy one of the new "MIPPS" helmets. The real question is how much is your health worth. If the answer is what it should be then cost is irrelevant surely

Well if you come Admin we will be able to enjoy the EXTENSIVE discounts you will be able to wangle due to your lofty status. It may even get you out of the first round of drinks....but probably not :)
