Err, this year? No idea. Just because you ask the question doesn't
mean I know the answer either.

Maybe Jérémy might be able to help.

From your point of view, a new chairlift from Samoëns, replacing the two old
onward chairs just beyond the Grand Massif Express Gondola arrival.

Which speeds things up a little, and changes the outlook on the way up, as
you'll see...

Next new thing in Flaine, development-wise, will be Le Centaure - MGM's
4-star appartment complex, scheduled for delivery at Christmas 2011.

Although I kinda liked the old ones... Chariande I and II, right?

Yes, that's the lift.

And no - not the Intrawest (-commenced) Montsoleil build but a shiny, new
creation to coexist with the original Breuer apartment blocks. This explains
why the style will be very contemporary, unlike the traditional Alpine feel
you've come to associate with this constructor. But then it is Flaine.

All the same, expect a few eyebrows to be raised:

Looks good, location-wise at least. As for architecture - well, in
Flaine anything would be an improvement, so I see no reason for this
to be a problem.

That would be good. The first time I went into that valley last year,
one of the (for me) return lifts was closed and the queue for the
other was huge. Made me a bit cautious about leaving it late to
return.

Gone skiing.

Oh, *that*s why the pool is closed. Not that I used it last time even
if it had been open.

Given the rather dank recess where it's being put, as Ace says,
anything would be an improvement.

Perhas they'l make the access road a fraction less like a factory
loading bay too.

It's a shame as the newsgroup was always good value, but I think a lot of
discussions were started by non-regulars asking stuff about different
resorts and conversations would follow. I guess newsgroups aren't the first
(or even last) port of call any more.


I think you're right, yes. For a while the group also served as a
de-facto general skiing discussion group for mainly UK-based folk, but
that need seems to have been filled by discussion forums like
snowheads, which personally I just can't get on with at all.


I only come in here occasionally nowadays, mainly because I do spend a
lot of time on Snowheads.
