Ross, Its the biggest pain in the a*rse about getting old, I lasted till 47 before the need for reading specs, and at times for things like piste maps is a complete pain. :evil:

What I need to do to stay the athlete that I am ????

1. Lose 10 kilos

2. Have two knees replaced

3. Laser surgery on both eyes so I can read a piste map without getting the specs out.

4. Stop driving to the piste.

5. Cut out the numerous mountain fuel stops.

6. Carry my skis home instead of renting on the piste lockers.

If you wish to add to this non exhaustive list, please feel free........ :mrgreen:

I've not seen to Sauze for many years, and these days I'm always in Switzerland, but I have picked up on other skiers mentioning that hire cars from Italian airports don't generally seem to be equipped with winter tyres, and also folks have had problems hiring chains from the car rental agencies. May not be all Italian airports though.

I have hired cars from Turin airport in more recent years and I have not had any problems hiring chains, I have always pre booked them and they have always been supplied. :thumbup:
