Lows - Samoens not ski in or out,

But much better than it ued to be now they've got the new express
gondola from village height. The previous access was half-way up the
hill.

Oh yes. And tbf with a regular ski bus from the appartment and no
queues to speak of for the gondola it was more of a medium than a low.

had a long trek from Flaine back
to Samoens one day when weather closed in to 20 ft visibility!

You got back though, which is the main point. It's a fair drive round
in a taxi if you screw up completely.

Indeed. Thankfully we'd already done the return trip the day before so
knew what to look out for. I was hard pushed, however, to explain at
one point why the piste markers that emerged evey so often out of the
gloom had, with an increase in steepness, suddenly changed from blue
to black. Luckily Pat believed me that all the blacks were easy that
far down the slope!
