Presumably this is Montgenevre you're referring to? Yes, Montgenevre. Oh, it's open, but the visibility is really terrible in the cloud. It's actually starting to clear as I write. So yes, it's laziness. Blundering around in freezing fog isn't my idea of fun, and going hell-for-leather in a resort I really don't know isn't a good idea in these conditions. Went over to Italy (Sauze d'Oulx) yesterday. Very picturesque but more crowded than Montgenevre. Fairly easy skiing, too. plus side: loads of mountain bars and restaurants. Yeah, the Italians do like their piste-side refreshments. Sking fro Bar to Retaurant to Bar can have a certain appeal on occasion;-) Otherwise known as 'syncopation'. While, as any fule kno, is a musical term meaning an uneven movement from bar to bar. (x-posted to rsre to try and breath new life over there) Number One daughter and I went off with one of the guides for a smashing day, skiing every black in the resort and most of the reds, while The Doctor, mindful of her pinned knee ligaments, did the same with another guide at a somewhat slower pace. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools |

I've done a week in Sauze and really enjoyed it. You can tramp across the range quite a way and back inside a day. -- Hog |
