i still don't have any crampons for my skis either! The lengths I go to to get some fresh pow :D

I saw a couple on snowshoes, and the basher drivers, and no-one else....

It's actually stopped snowing at the moment and the sky is blue :D

It's not a legal requirement in any European country to carry snow chains that I'm aware of, other than people living in remote areas or going into remote areas no one would particularly carry them. Some roads can be closed to traffic without snow chains though. Basically, you're not going to get pulled up and fined for not having chains but you can be turned back from a road. That also means your hire car company aren't obliged to provide them of course.

I looked at what else was available and found flights from Luton at approx the same time as my original ones. These were only £2.89 each. Booking these for 4 of us saved me £50, so I took the STN cancelation and saved myself some money.

Thank you Ryanair.

Do some of the bars/cafes near the slopes have kids ski racks?

I ask this because my skis are 105cm long and I think I'll have trouble when I go to lock them up on the free standing ski racks.

Yep that's right, I have skiboards. Revel8 Trees. Anyone interested there is a link to these boards below. Cheers.
