No idea where it is, doesn't look like anywhere I've skied in Tignes, but it's a long time since I was there. The advertising has worked on me though, I'm now wondering about a trip to Tignes... the skiing is really rather good... |

Surely not, you wouldn't have staggered on landing like that :-) |

Okay there is not much snow about. He ducked under ropes to do some between the piste skiing only to hear a loud whistle and some pisteur whizzing over. He was told to get back on the piste. What about all the ads you are doing ? (the funicular runs a load of freeskiing videos). Ah that... well the piste patrol have been told to be much more pro-active with skiers and boarders who they consider are doing stupid things. The aim is to educate not to sanction. So my friend said, now that I'm educated can I continue? No not at all, stay on the piste. Now the pisteur had his reasons that day, fair enough. But maybe here needs to be more connection between the reality and marketing. After all Tignes had a terrible record for avalanche deaths last year. I was there until last saturday. The snow conditions are getting desperate but I believe it may be snowing now. Off piste at the moment is dangerous due to lack of snow. There are still araes high up on the glacier where you can go off, eg. to the side of Leisse and the pistuers don't seem to be batting an eyelid. I suspect your pal must have been on a dangerous bit! -- Pete Devlin [{//////news03//////at\\\\\secondrow/////co\\\\\uk}] Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world. Kaiser Wilhelm |
