Blinding Day! Boot high freshies, hill quiet, lots of pissed of race teams unable to set courses and be arrogant. Peter Frampton in the headphones. Pistes all like 15cm of white love on a solid base. Still snowing. Dipsy enjoying fresh snowballs. Back in time for tea and medals. LIFE SUCKS!

Hey eyes and ears of Tignes, what's going on? Webcams don't suggest much coverage at resort level, did we miss a decent dump?

We probably had 12-15 cm in village over last couple of days, village pretty white except roads, forecast clear but cold. There is enough snow for oscar to end up with a covered nose so pas mal eh?

Eight o clockish
Another stunning day, loads of happy smiley skiers returning to middle earth. Very chilly, crisp like an iceberg lettuce. Dipsy and Meg enjoying the conditions. Forecast looking bluebird until Tuesday, then SNOW CAST THE BONES AND CALL IT A FORECAST.COM predicting some incoming white stuff and strong winds for the latter part of the six day guess.
Rammed full of guests this weekend so maybe not too many reports in the next 72. Love to all regular listeners.

Can anyone answer a query for me please? Our plane is due to land at Chambery at 08.30am in the morning and if our Skiworld transfer is on time, what time do you reckon we will arrive in Tignes? If early enough it would be good to ski. Where would be the best place to get a half day lift pass? Thanks.

Chambery is 2 hours from Tignes, Lift passes available from Maison de Tignes in Le Lac front de Neige or at the bottom of the Funicular in Val Claret.
Have fun and take piccies, we're starving!!!

depends on when you are travelling. Sat 27th Dec or 15th Feb will take 6x longer than any other day. Plus you need to allow extra for TO faff factor - like waiting for another plane to turn up, to do a drop in Moutiers to change buses etc. As Kaiser said should be no more than a couple of hours..but..

Beverley, they are only offering the Gatwick flight to Chambery though aren't they? So hopefully your transfer bus should start on it's journey quite swiftly....as I said on the other Val d'Isere thread, I haven't been able to answer your PM and say " etc etc see you in Tignes in a couple of weeks" because you're mysteriously "down a crevasse". So we can chat about the rowing etc when you get to Tignes, well in the evening if you are going out skiing that day!
See you in a couple of weeks.

Beverley, 'bout 2 1/2 hours by car from Chambery.. so 4 by coach. You could be skiing Sat 13 PM !
VolklAttivaS5, Will you be in Val w/c 13 Dec ? Me too.

I will be in Tignes from 29th Nov to 20th Dec so same difference I suppose. I am on a course same week as Beverley with Inspired to Ski. What are you doing? A regular holiday or a course or something?

I'll be there, working my tits off though, but will try and find time to creep in to the Alpaka to see if anyone's there.
What is the designated day/hour of Snowheads meeting time?

There are at least 2 free lifts (1 in Le Lac & 1 in Val Claret) if you get there so late (flight delays etc) that it's not worth buying a half day ticket.
Both runs are short & easy - but:
1. Are a lot better than Xscape.
2. A few free turns on arrival day would be a bonus in my book.

bitoffluff, yes there are lots of Snowheads going on the ItS courses. So you are on All Mountain Level 4 on 13th Dec? You will be in Beverley's group then maybe.
Were the other things you were looking at no good then? i.e the over New Year thing? Personally I think you will get loads more out of going on a ski course than the other options.

mountainaddict, Thanks for this info. I don't have a piste map here, but could you give me an idea as to whereabout these 2 free lifts are? Particularly the one in Le Lac as that's where our chalet is.
Having had to get up at 2.00am in order to make check-in time at Gatwick, a free short run maybe all I am capable of!

Hello All
Please set my mind at rest, im due out to Tignes Tomorrow for the weekend and im pouring over the weather, but it looks like im gonna be
sitting is a ski resort watching it snow! Would the Glacier lifts open in these winds ?

Any positive piece of mind would be helpful!
Cheers

FAQ
feels like I'm going home after being there for the season last year. Hopefully by the time I get to Tignes there will be snow all the way down to Brev (no rock hopping on my brand new skis)....I'm ready to race you 
s take over Tignes that week - ive signed up for ItS course that week too, but just a lowly level 4 Piste - im going to technique precision rather than adventure after having too much "adventure" off piste on my last snow hols - ACL incident
