Dave,
Tignes is usually included (was last year). I'd look at getting the bus from BStM rather than driving., If memory serves, parking in Tignes is not cheap. I'd check before you set out if I were you. I've always wanted to go over the top from La Plagne and join up with the outskirts of Tignes - maybe this year

Why is it so difficult to load this picture here. It went on my facebook post in seconds. Please can someone tell me again, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!
In the mean time until I can get this right. If you want to see the photo please take a look at my last post on the Les Arcs Winter facebook page.

If anyone is driving up to Tignes for a 'days' skiing. You can park for free at Val Claret Parking area near lifts if you have a one day ski pass. We did this quite a few times last season.
@RattytheSnowRat, you do know that skiing from La Plagne to Tignes is almost all uphill. A very long ski day. Better to go from Tignes to La Plagne, mostly downhill, but with a long skate at the end into Champagny uper village, then taxi bus to main village and back into the lift system. I like this route, can be done easy ski route or hard ski route. Also possible to go direct to Les Arcs, but a little harder.

@snowcrazy, I think I have figured out how to solve your issue. @rob@rar had posted about it too here... http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=113626&highlight=
The answer came from @davidof, you take this bit of code
and between the " " put the url for your photo from Facebook, with no gaps. I have put in a box here so you can see what it looks like

Take the box away....Thanks to @davidof. No idea how or why this works but it does.......................

Thanks for that - somehow we have found identical links through different URLs.
But still nothing on the Landry to Peisey/Vallandry ski bus shuttle timetable for 2014/15. If anyone finds that, please post the link.

For anyone interested, I use these guys for a ski pass, It has saved me quite a bit of money over the years on whiteout days and days when the old legs needed a break:

Be very careful with kids if looking at Ski Carte......  i.e. there is no kids options. Kids pay adult prices.

@vfr750cbr, You need to go to the link and read all the details. It is in English. Easy to follow. As I said already, it works well and if you also get passes for Under 18 year olds they are free.
But as was pointed out, the daily rate is a flat charge with NO children's discount so you need to do the maths. You might need to call them to find out what it will really cost you each time you ski with the kids.
This year there is a discount every 5 days after the ninth day (pay only 1 Euro). I still recommend you read all the details online.
Hope that all helps.

I can save you a phone call, everyone pays adult prices. When we have used Ski Carte we have bought normal resort based ski pass. Couldn't see a way to make Ski Cater work for kids. Adults, yes, just work out all the options but it has its place.

We've used the Ski Carte pass for the last three years and it's well worth it as you only pay for the days you ski and as we often ski with friends in La Rossiere we get a good discount there. The only problem with La Ross is that you have to go to the ticket office each day and buy a daily ticket as the pass does not work with their lift barriers. I can definitely recommend it for adults.

To much time on my hands this morning. This looks so nice I just had to post it. Now I will take the risk and say the snow is starting to look good enough to begin forming a base and not all disappear again! Hope I am right.
Anyone coming out, I shall be in Les Arcs for the start of the season. For anyone else around, how about we try to meet up on the Sunday for an easy ski to get our legs back when more lifts are open.

Hi. Looking good. I may be able to get a week off work from Monday 15th so may be there if the snow is good. My bro is renting a chalet in Les Villarets so let's hope for lots of snow!!

I wish they'd sort the webcams out. Only a handful are online and those that are, could do with some TLC to stop the frame from freezing and the screen going blank inbetween stills.

I've written to the Operations Director in 1950 asking them to find a man to go and kick the ones there.
PS snowcrazy that shot of yours down the 2000 valley is from Arcabulle rather than Transarc I believe? Still looks great tho...

@thefatcontroller, Haven't seen any issues with them until this year. The choice was always great too. Not very good, though I am annoyed with P&V in general this week. Booked early for mid-jan and they've gone and knocked another 200 euros off the apartment price for those booking now (offered 30% discount for Christmas too). Mid-march has gone up considerably since I booked last month (from just over 1000 euros, to 1400+..Italy here I come if it stays that way). I'm not happy.
EDIT: The prices have changed again, so I'm confused. Now that Christmas has booked up, the discounts are back on for January and March at silly money. I'll not be booking another week unless they adjust.

A friend of mine hiked up yesterday and boarded back down he said that there's about 40cms of snow on the ground at the very top. Whilst I was talking to Paradiski on Twitter yesterday and they seem to think 60cms, to be honest I take what they say with a pinch of salt though! It would be good it they would bring a camera on-line down in 1800 so we could see the progress of the development work. I'm really interested to see how it all comes together when I first get out on Dec 27th.
