SMALLZOOKEEPER, I might just do that. Might be in the market for some new boots and all, if I can squirrel away the necessary funds...

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

brock, thanks, but it's not so much the idea of going somewhere else that's appealing (after all, CHX has more than enough to keep us interested for four days), than the opportunity to go to ITALY for a day. And do so with very little effort.
So, to sum up- fings wot I have learned:
Book a car on the Swiss side as it's easier, faster and could be cheaper.
A day in Courmayeur recommended by most as a decent day trip from Chamonix. And we can have some decent food on the mountain.
Get guide and do the VB.
Drop into the SMZ's place and I will be offered beer, pies, possibly some skis to test and an opportunity to buy some expertly fitted orange boots.
thanks to all...
