Best conditions...?
Got flights booked to Geneva on Thurs 13th Jan. Anyone have an idea of where
the best conditions are likely to be within say, 90 mins or so of Geneva airport? Thanks, A. D. |

This website seems to suggest that if you pick your routes (ie ski over grassy meadows!!), there is good off piste to be had in Verbier at the moment http://www.swissguides.com/B11681746/index.html cheers, greg |

Felly sgrifennodd Simon Brown :
1,000 accidents requiring intervention a day in Switzerland apparently. This was from the TV programme on DRS last week? Quer - I think it was. I saw it. There were some interesting statistics, such as: 113,000 accidents a year 4 in 10 are foreigners (it surprised me how low this was!) 1/3 of accidents involve knees The figures were necessarily estimates because there is no official recording of the total number of accidents; it was derived from the fact that 38,000 a year claim off their Swiss company insurance for ski accidents. This all from memory, and there was much more I can't remember. Adrian -- Adrian Shaw ais@ Adran Cyfrifiadureg, Prifysgol Cymru, aber.

Hi,
I read this in the paper, don't watch Swiss TV as a rule. -- Simon Brown www.hb9drv.ch "Adrian D. Shaw" wrote in message ...
