Does anyone know where I can find out what dates the lifts which connect
Meribel/Mottaret to Courcheval and Val Thorens open?

This year they opened on 12th December, and I was told that this was 1 week
earlier than usual. Can anyone confirm if this is correct.

I think they just open as soon as there's enough snow, although
clearly not before teh main areas aer themselves open :-)

Quite. The last but one time I went to Val Thorens (just before
Christmas) the links out weren't yet open, although VT itself was
reasonably well covered..
