Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

What they spend your lift pass money on

In Val Thorens, at least, where they seem to put a new lift or station every year, they mess about with big-ass Helicopters in the Summer:

I'm trying to think exactly where this is, and my best conclusion so far is that they're putting in two new pistes where Claude took us for a powder fest last time. Hmmm Confused

What is the reason for only being able to do the heavy lifting in cold temps?

At the start of the film the guy says it's the new Stades lift, according to this page https://valthorensguide.com/whats-new-in-val-thorens-for-2016-17.html it replaces the Roc and Stades drag lifts, which went to the top of the 'racing area' half way down the Les Vires piste - I don't see any mention of new pistes.

@Tubaski, I was going from memory - I know I've never been up a lift left of Peclet, but I found an old map and can see that's because it was a drag. I've definitely never been on a drag in Val T. I assumed it was a new line (two pistes are highlighted in the vid) but if it's a drag lift upgrade it's not where I thought.

Actually, having now looked at the new map online, and compared it to last season's from my cupboard the new lift goes a little higher and there IS a new piste 'croissant'. there's also a little cut through onto lac blanc

Lots of alpine lifts get moved in by helicopters, in general terms is often less environmentally damaging than say building an access road

The old stades drag was pretty pointless slow as and they really didn't want you to go skier's right through the barriers.

I appreciate they may have edited out the boring bits, but they don't hang around, do they?

@PeDaSp, wow. Crikey how many fingers get squashed doing that, I was holding my breath when the first pillar went in. Shows confidence when the guy goes up the ladder to unhitch whilst they're still bolting on the bottom.
