So for the weekend crew we'll make the meeting point the montreux bar. Come through arrivals and turn right and go along a few hundred metres and there's the bar. We can grab a beer or two and watch the world go buy. When it gets nearer the witching hour we can send out a runner to the official meeting point to play find the mountain sun guy
I will have some skis with me and handily a blue inside out hoody.
Kent, Nickh I think we are on the same flight so please drop me a pm so we can start the après in LHR. Based on the forecast Thursday could be a slow start so no harm in going hard early

@KenX, oops hadn't seen your post on skis, generally quite good but we have a big group of good skiers so may be a bit of a bun fight for the exact length in what you want...
@bertie bassett, I recon the forecast will change by the weekend. Never accurate this far out this time of year.... some freshies would be good though

I've emailed everyone who is on the Pre-Season Tune-Up to let them know about the Montreux Bar (thanks for the suggestion @bertie bassett). Scott and I are driving out so we'll see you in Tignes.

@bertie bassett, Just note that there are now two (!!?) "Montreux" bars ... looked like they'd split the bar section off from the restaurant so they're literally next door to each other but you could have some confused folks.
You have the Jazz Cafe which is sort of most obvious as you approach from the main arrivals area and "Funky Claude's Lounge" which is behind it, but if you approach from the post office or the charter terminal that's the one you'll see first.
Possibly not as confusing as I'm suggesting, but I guess you want to be clear.

Raining heavier now at 1800m, with snow line around 2200m I'd guess. Should be improving conditions on the glacier.

Looking fab, and I guess having the 1st day off may have been more than repaid by skiing fresh today rather than glacier ice!
Just a few weeks now...

I think that's what everyone agreed - after the down day yesterday, today more than made up for it.
