We just need to find someone to fix the boiler on it now, and £30,000 and some carriages :lol:

If you want the heating fixed I'm your man. :P

The only trip we had problems was when the Pisteures went on strike!
The earliest I've skied there is 6 Dec.
There is always a lot more open up in Tignes so I'd suggest it's the better resort to stay in if you want to avoid a taxi fare if the links aren't open.
If you can get a good enough deal I'd say go for it.
There's a good chance I'll be in Tignes that week. :D

This is Tignes 15 Dec 2008:

Is that what they call a ski in ski out jobby. :lol:

You get a summer, I think it's a fair trade )

I have been on the old style Disco carriage Ski Train. Interesting trips :shock:

I thought not having spring, autumn & winter was a fair enough trade, don't know what a disco train is, but can I have one anyway. :cry:
