That is a beautifully romantic view of doing a ski season or moving to the mountains pav, I couldn't do that-I applied fora job in the uk and went out having secured a salary, accommodation and lift pass.

Mind you I'm not still there.......
I haven't been in chatel for about 4years but Im pretty sure you need to get the gondola up to avoriaz do you not? Maybe that's from the Morzine side.

Wickers has just been there, sure he'll be able to tell you
Hmm good point also, i might get a travel charger for the car!

Yes it seems so silly, so simple just putting on ski jacket, but then consider;
What ski jacket you wear on what conditions
What polar fleece vest goes better with what jacket
What jacket goes with what pants?

In powder you do not want to have a jacket that has too much insulation since you tend to "generate" a great deal of heat !

In cold windy days you want to choose a longer warmer ski jacket with high collar !

Simple,,,,until you have choices!!!!

fair enough pav, i am not in the position of having so many choices!

One ski jacket if its cold, one softshell if its not but more often than not in Scotland its both because its very cold!

I agree with the happy wife=happy life which is why she has just got boots with heated elements inside!

Ah ok, my apologies trencher!

Ive calmed down now anyway, just don't think there should be segregation and struggle to understand-I don think there are any boarder only resorts?

Using phrases like a gentlemens club and upper class golf clubs makes me think of elitist views but that must be me.

Esp sweeping statements like-everyone under 25 causes all the issues and removing them makes the resort better

I can't believe how elitist some of these opinions are!

Each to their own i suppose you are welcome to your opinion
