The benchmark was beer. We were all expecting a round figure of 1 Euro after the conversion.... but hey ho it sits at 80cents!

A far cry from the 8 Euros in some French resorts.... :oops:

The lift pass prices dropped slightly too...

I was at Passo Tonale last year where they have cameras aimed at you from behind the lift office desk they then take your photo there and then and transfer it to your lift pass. Check with the tourist office just to check 8)

I've not been hit by another skier but when it's busy I go snow shoeing, ski touring, build igloos or chill out. the case I'm not sure what can be about it.

ISTR that you used to have a blue helmet, same style, until you you were knocked over and hit your head? Was that a snowboarder?

It was the slope incident that led to the "shiny red helmet" gag
:D

I shall answer my own query :D

You were hit by a snowboarder at Gstaad. You blogged it here...

You still have a shiny red helmet :D

Bandit, your in trouble now :wink:
