Amphersand, I ski in goretex shell pants (no insulation) with only a pair of Skins underneath and my legs never get cold. Since you'll be boarding, you may want something with a little insulation around the derrière because you'll be sitting in the snow a fair bit

@hamilton, €7.60 for a pint of Affligem in l'Atelier, Chamonix town as of last Saturday. A bit cheaper for you brits after yesterday's weirdness.

9 euros a pint? yikes!
Does Chamonix have such a thing as an 'off licence'? Or are they just as expensive?

You'll need to Register first of course.

@Amphersand, there are supermarkets - beer (and other drinks) are far cheaper there!

I think you'll find Le Tof nightclub, in Cham Sud, to your liking

Carrefour the other side of the mainroad/motorway is the cheapest for beer and wine, for going out try and remember where the happy hours are.
monkey and munster are two for one 4-6pm (5e for two pints at monkey and 4.5 at munster) la moraine for wine and beer runs to 7, and monkey does 241 cocktails 9-10. you can get a jug of beer for 10e when there's football on (which is most nights!) at bardup as well and if you like tequila you can get fairly smashed at tequila Tuesdays at the terrasse, they also do toss the boss as well on Wednesday I think....
munster and boogie woogie are both 4.5 for a pint, monkey is 5, bard up is 5.50.....even the cap horn is only 7 euros, im not sure who charges 9!

@eddiethebus, the non-CMB restaurant (Altitude2000?) up Brevent is eye wateringly expensive...

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

You know it makes sense.

@eddiethebus, I knew SERAC had the operating licences, I didn't know they were ex-CMB. Makes perfect sense, for them

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you all, we had a great trip to Chamonix and your advice was invaluable! It really did make all the difference.
The people where fantastic, the town is just the right size and not over commercialised yet, the bars and beer prices where all great, instructors where good, the slopes where perfect, lots of fresh snow and the snowboarding was a doddle... the only mark against it: the buses where too busy and not frequent enough and working out which way the bus was going after Chamonix Sub was a guessing game in itself.
Good work everyone!
