Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

[quote="jennycook"]Hopefully it's not a state secret ,scorpio, , it the Club Hotel Curling - used to by Crystal, now same co as we stayed with in Jan at ADH.

Thank you jennycook i thought it would be and i had a look on the web , Be aware every one tripadvisor is allegedly inaccurate , they have mapped it as hotel Le curling which is on the main val d i'sere road after the tunnel by the lac du chervil just before La Daille , and the hotel curling we are in i believe is in Tignes val claret nr to the main lifts . the hotel in the same company in ADH was clean .

I'm looking to book some beginner snowboarding lessons in Tignes. Preferably in Val Claret.
Is anyone else doing the same and does anyone have any recommendations?

I was going to go with Evolution 2 but they have had little interest shown in Val Claret and so it looks like if I book with them I'll have to get myself to Le Lac everyday. Not far as I understand but I can do without the hassle.

Lithos, Might be worth posting your question in here:

http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?t=67131&start=600

There are a few sHs out in Tignes and I'm sure they'll be able to make some recommendations for you. I seem to remember that stewart woodward is an instructor out there, so he may be able to help you or point you in the right direction. Might also be worth sending him a PM.

davefitz, Very Happy Very Happy Are you the only one on that flight? Might be worth asking admin if we can wait for you.

Really looking forward to this, only snowHead snowHead snowHead snowHead snowHead snowHead sleeps to go...

The lift passes are charged in Euros. You are welcome to pay me in Euros in resort although I'm kinda hoping not everybody does as I'll have a lot of Euros to look after Shocked

If you want to pay before we go, click the "Convert this amount to Sterling" link on your snowAccount and pay by the normal methods.


Hi admin i notice that you have not taken the lift pass cost off my account, is there a problem?

Richie rich1, it's because you chose to pay by both bank transfer and cheque. The transfer you made was confirmed, the cheque that you hence didn't need to send, remained un-confirmed. I've removed that now so it should all balance up fine.

bar shaker, Nice one, be good to see you. Very Happy

scorpio, I suspect that we will get buttons to push (and options to pay) for the transfer towards the end of this week. Watch this space. admin is waiting on final numbers before putting the buttons up as the cost will probably go down the more people we get. All you need to do is keep an eye on the thread and when they appear, push 'em and pay. wink

colbolt, Definately be good to meet up at the airport, we will get a list of phone numbers just before departure so we can arrange meeting up then for the Gatwick crew. If you don't get the list for some reason, PM me and we'll sort something out. Failing all else, you'll need to keep an eye out for an area of chaos, in the centre of which will be a girl in a purple jacket... Toofy Grin

Morning, All Toofy Grin Set the alarm for 5am to get some practice in for the very early start on Sunday (I need to be up at 04.30am BST) but, inevitably knowing I had to be awake early meant I slept badly rolling eyes Still, at least I'll be tired early tonight.

Anyway, enough rambling. Here's the thing...

when I woke at 2-something am (Mrs RL's gentle snoring rolling eyes ) it occurred to me Shocked that I don't have an alarm I can depend on for Sunday. My radio-alarm is supposed to be 'auto-updating' so it may adjust itself for the change to BST but I can't remember whether it actually does or not. My phone also may update itself but I can't be sure and the only other alarm device we have is one of those 'radio-controlled' clocks which again, may set itself to BST. I can see me setting the alarm(s) for 03.30am just in case the clocks don't upate themselves but then, if they do update, I'll be awake at 03.30BST which is, literally, the middle of the night Shocked

Still, here's a thought....only snowHead snowHead sleeps to go Toofy Grin

Okay that's me signed up (hurray!), but I've had to cancel my place on the EoSB (boo!)...

This is my first visit to Tignes, and I'm driving there, does anyone know any tricks for parking? I'm currently being quoted 75 euros for the week, which is not the sort of 'steep' I'm normally looking for. Are there any cheaper places to park, perhaps outside the main resort with a chairlift or bus connection?

Basil Short_trousers, Nice one Very Happy Very Happy No idea on the parking though, sorry.

Red Leon, I always book a reminder call (BT) when I have an early start for a flight. Worth it for the peace of mind. Just call *55*(time in 24hr clock i.e. 0330)# I'm assuming they'll be right even if the auto update on your clock isn't. Although, from memory I think they do update at the right time... but I won't be counting on it. wink

Dunno what you're worried about though - I have to leave the house at 03.30, so I'll need to be up earlier than that... Shocked Shocked

Can't wait.

The top station forecast for Val D'Isere states 'heavy snow' for Sunday night. Tignes is 'moderate' although looking at the numbers, same depth forecast. Best not to look at the bottom station forecast, given the snowflake symbols seem to have been stretched out somewhat a bit like rain symbols, which can't be right....
