It's an interesting experience going round the hairpins with big chains on the bus rear wheels. Quite noticeable that they have to take a bigger swing to get round the bends.
I can think of a better word than interesting. I was pretty damned scared hurtling down the mountain road from VT on a bus in thick snow with the driver on his mobile phone, swining the thing round corners one handed.
the route bandit's talking about is to the VT road what the VT road is to the promenade at Brighton :shock: you have to go there to really get an idea.

My first experience of skiing was to VT and boy is that road scary. Especially on Saturday changeover with coaches passing in deep snow within inches of each other. :shock:

Would it make the waiting easier if I said that the lifts are not open here until the weekend, so I have to earn my turns if I want to ski )

It's been snowing all day, I saw snowploughs working at Geneva Airport and also on the runway at Sion. 1st time I have been on a bus which had chains on at the railway station pickup in Sierre :D
that happened to us last season coming back up after a tour, it does make the route up exciting :)
