 Poster: A snowHead

Ordered a six day 3 valleys lifts pass through the Les Menuires official site and they arrived this morning. We shall arrive in Resort between 1-2pm and haoped to get some skiing in. The 6 day family pass is approx the same price as a 5 day - 2 adult and 2 children individual passes. The 6 day willnow cover whatever we do on the first afternoon. Rambling I know, but I am soooo excited.
I can thoroughly recommend this way of purchasing passes as you can gaze lovingly at them long before your holiday (saddo)

Good idea. I'm going to gaze lovingly at my London Transport one-day bus pass next time I buy one.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Frosty the Snowman, iirc the 3V has gone hands-free this year. Are they skidata passes ? Did you have to send photos ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Mine didnt arrive  finally got through to someone yesterday morning and they will be at the hotel in 1850, although after this, and TWELVE attempts to buy my 3V pass online I would reconsider buying online next year!

brian, No photos required. They look like credit cards. In fact Mrs FTS had hers declined at Tesco's this lunchtime.
Hands free passes are superb when they work well.

Frosty the Snowman, they are good. If it's skidata I can use my swatch which is good for those annoyingly positioned card readers that don't quite match the pocket you put it in

I have been most impressed with the 3V system - it works very well and reads my card every time. No hassle whatsoever.
Even with a season pass, there's no photo on the pass - the photo is held centrally and the lifties can see it on a hand-held screen if they want to.

So where can I order online passes for Trois Vallees from?

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

And besides from that obvious advantage, it's another essential item to add to tickets and passport, that you really wouldn't want to forget

gregh, I don't think there's any discount for buying up front, it's just a matter of convenience - avoids the queue on the first morning. On the other hand, it's something else to lose or forget.

gregh, I paid the rack rate but the reasons I did it are as follows:
It will save any effort once in resort
Once in resort time will be short on day 1 if we are to get in any significant mileage.
Won't get stiffed by tour operator exchange rate.
No postage charge
I am sad
The family pass is a good saving on the individuals.

Isn't it all rather exciting - I can imagine the fun of holding the passes. I've sorting out details for my first week. Anticipation is part of the fun
