But I'm sure yours will be very nice Snapzzy ....... Not :wink:

I'll be honest even though it is my own brew.....from a kit at any rate.

It was nice, its all gone now though and i have another on the go.
I was VERY surprised by the quality myself, i read that kits have become much better over recent years but didn't expect them to live up to much but it was very nice.

How big is your bank?

As far as I know they economize by not opening all the lifts at the beginning of the season, even if there is enough snow, because they don't have enough customers for it to make sense, from the financial point of view.

But do they cut the price of the lift pass? I bet they don't.

I lost a glove once from a chair lift while i was messing with my iPod, the people in the chair behind me were shouting and pointing down and it took me a while to realise what i had done.
On a positive note it gave me my first off piste experience retrieving it.
Its not until you are gloveless that you truly feel their worth....

Selva would be my Number 1 choice, better apres

Well, i'll post now what everyone else will write:

Its a risk, so if you can wait and go last minute to where the snow falls.

Most resorts open up around the second week in dec and the biggest are snowmaking a while before then. I think you would be ok if you booked somewhere like Tignes or Val Thoren but the best advice is to wait.

BTW I expect you'd find quite a bit of dog carp in Val Thorens. Last time I was there, I watched lots of dog owners emptying their pets on the ski area at the top of Place Caron.

I saw a lot of that in Belle Plagne the other year, disgusting.
Resorts should be made dog free or specify an area for them.

This story got me thinking.

Thinking about the stuff left behind at the end of the season.

Do you think the melting snow reveals a mass of lost stuff? A few skis, poles, coins, cameras etc....?
I wonder if treasure hunters armed with nerdy metal detectors hit the slopes.
