Just make sure that the gold and the beer is tied down near the centre of
gravity and you will be OK. Michael Cain had it loose and sliding about. I
was on a coach to SC some years ago when the road was iffy, and it slipped
and slided all the way down from Montgenevre, not particularly scary, but
quite exciting.

Next Sunday I will be flying into Turin and taking a bus to
SerreChevalier.

The route I assume they will take is up the Autostrada for a while then
turn off
through Oulx (some buses go to Sauze D'Oulx), Cessana (ski lifts beside
the road
here, but some buses turn up towards San Sicario and Sestrierre). My bus
will
go the other direction along the 'Italien Job' road. Through Claviere
(ski
lifts and pistes beside the road here). Into France through Montgenevre
(ski
lift and pistes on both side of the road here). Into Briancon and onward
to
Chantmerle where I get off the bus.

Now there is going to be around 50cm of snow this weekend (mostly on
Sunday).
Will the bus get through or will it end up balanced just like in the film?

Transport aside snow conditions in the Southern Alps are going to be
Superb
(provided it stops snowing) next week. Pity I'm not going to Isola2000, I
have
always considered it a bit of a risk snow wise but .....
