Exactly. Aren't Ocean liners supposed to be in the sea not on the side of a mountain?

As the weather was threatening thunderstorms we drove up to Plagne villages for lunch and to look at the new lift.
This pic is looking down to where Meleze started, it looks ike a new piste on the right of the mound (which has an electrity pylon on top) to go to the new Bergerie lift or keep left to go down the original piste to connect to 1800 or Plagne centre.

A new piste side restaurant has opened in Plagne Soleil on the piste opposite the rope tow (and just before you get to Monica's restaurant)

Sorry for the bad pic! But this (the sand coloured mound) is the top of the new Bergerie lift. The shed left is the top of the Colosses lift.

Boredsurfing, I was in La Plagne in March. Strange to see the place without snow.
I still think Courchevel has it beat.

More new pictures and an update on the construction works on RG's website ....

When I was there a couple of weeks ago the company that will be hydro seeding the new grass was getting its equipment ready, so hopefully the grass will grow as quickly as the new lifts

Silly question Will there be a mid-station where the old lift started from so you can still get on just downfrom the Terra Nova or will you have to ski down to 1800?
