No problem at all - I thought that the group was meant to help everybody and was not just for the benefit of a clique who obviously know more than I do - I'll keep out of your way in future. Andy "BrritSki" wrote in message ... Oh and we've really missed you, please don't go away again. As for that @hole Ace, he never helps anyone or makes a joke, you never see any smileys in his posts or helpful information about where to park. We wouldn't miss his helpful posts at all !

Unless you think that 61m will make all the difference? Andy 2561m, I think you'll find ;-) But if one were driving from Les Carooz it would make more sense to park at Let Molliets or Vernant, where there are big car parks and good lifts into the system. From Vernant, less than ten mins from Les C., just two 6-man chairs are needed to drop one directly into the Flaine bowl. -- Ace (brucedotrogers a.t rochedotcom) Ski Club of Great Britain - http://www.skiclub.co.uk All opinions expressed are personal and in no way represent those of the Ski Club. |

If that is how you react to somebody giving useful advice, but with a throwaway pedantic comment (marked with a smiley) before it, then frankly, there won't be much point in you staying around. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager These are only my opinions.

Yes, but the useful advice, even though marked with a "smiley" (which by the way I do understand) was meant to infer that my posting was somewhat inferior and contained inaccurate information. In fact I simply chose to give an approximate figure not having a piste map available. I don't think it justified a "put-down" whether marked by a smiley or not. "Alex Heney" wrote in message ...

No, the useful advice was the paragraph that followed. Nobody is trying to suggest that the line regarding the height was useful. that was just a throwaway comment, not intended to be taken seriously. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager It really bothers me when people cut me o...

As it happens, Ace is unfailingly polite and posts reams of useful advice. You, OTOH, I don't recall at all doing anything. was not just for the benefit of a clique who obviously know more than I do - You've got one thing right there... I'll keep out of your way in future.

For your information I used to post a few years ago but had similar problems back then ie follow-up posts which were effectively "put-downs" of the information I had posted, no matter how accurate. I was tempted to post again thinking that a more genial atmosphere existed now. Obviously, as demonstrated by your postings, I was wrong.... Message to Mike Mather - Sorry your posting got caught up in this - the bottem line is that you should be able to ski during March at Les Carroz - hope you have a good holiday.

Time for you to grow up methinks - and to stop top-posting. |

In message .com,
SteveH writes We were there in a heat wave and it was slushy almost to the very top of Flaine but the runs back to Carroz still had good cover on them (and fat skis are SO much fun in slush - I really enjoyed the final run down to the resort at the end of the day... I had to go back up and do it again a few times:-). I'm told it got colder after this and they had powder skiing in April last year. Slush is the poor man's powder. After several end of season jaunts I now love it. Took a while to convert me though! -- Pete Devlin [{//////news03//////at\\\\\secondrow/////co\\\\\uk}] "And the devil in a black dress watches over" |
