Iceman, are you making a presumption that this is a live, or even recent picture?

I zoomed out, crossed to Scotland, zoomed in to our house, and the pic is at least pre 2004. I checked out a few Austrian resorts where I know buildings have gone up in the last few years, and the buildings are missing from the map.

What the map would be great for, is if you are thinking of booking a particular property, and wanted to know the geo-relationship to the lifts/shops/restaurants. Most of these seemed to be marked.

Its because they have seen your ski jacket, Matt.

Just kidding!

googled. 2.70eU per day

Ali, my eldestson isoff to Tignes in two weeks.Two questions.
Is there a cost advantage when buying online?
How much does the carre neige cost? (Can't find out without signing in)

Yes, Ali, I have used 112 several times. On two occasions, there were difficulties in explaining our exact location. (Both on unnamed off-piste runs.) Hence, my first preference for a local number,and then the accomodation, or at least a village phone number.

I have come across late afternoon accidents, twice when the lifts were closed/about to close. The ski patrol had been and gone. The guy in the pub phoned the lift owners house.

It is about keeping a number of options. Good reminder of 112, though.

Top post SS. You might also post it on Snowheads?

The article gives some good practical examples of what it might cost, but had it included an American example, the costs would have been sky high.

I was surprised at the helicopter price of £2500.
Sound advice about keeping the insurance company phone number on your mobile, or at least in your wallet, should you need to borrow a mobile.

I would add that everyone should also keep the phone number of the local lift company on their mobile ~ they can call out the mountain rescue.

Also, keep the phome number of your accomodation on your mobile/wallet. If there is an accident, and all else fails, the hotel owner can do the necessary.

Ski safely.

Good bit of early action, Geno!

I get a bit embarrassed when I give someone a framed watercolour painting ~ Always suggest it is something for behind the toilet door....
