Snowmageddon 2016

So it looks like the biggest dump of the season so far will coincide with the start of half term, and the start of the French vacances de fevrier.
In honour of Viz, here are my top tips to avoid last years nonsense.
1 ) Do not go to any resort accessed via the N90.
2 ) Leave the Rep alone to get on with sorting out any issues. They use Facebook on their phone to contact head office Wink

3 ) Do not bother trying to park in Ardent after 9:30 AM.
4 ) Do not tell anyone else about the car park at the Col d' Encrenaz.
5 ) Try La Panthiaz to avoid forming a massive queue on the road to Pre La Joue, this way you can re-discover the joy of T-bars.
6 ) Take a basketball in your hand luggage to help while away the hours spent in the sports hall of the local lycee on the first night of your holiday.
7) Do not waste time putting your chains on at the bottom of the hill where there is good light if the snow is shallow. It's much more rewarding to do it when the gradient kicks up just outside Aime, to the chorus of a hundred coach and car horns.
8 ) When you arrive at Ardent parking after 9:30, be sure to park your SUV in a jaunty fashion on the end of a row to inconvenience the maximum number of people.
9 ) Take the back entrance into the hypermarket in Bourg when coming down from Val, as this give those people behind you the chance to test their brakes on the hill.
10 ) Don't waste time and money getting a payment tag for the Autoroutes, just go through the beeper lane anyway as it is quicker, and after 3 minutes of hooting and gestutrng they will let you through anyway.
