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

Many bars and restaurants welcome dogs in France, you dont see them so often in bars in ski resorts but I guess that is because not too many visitors take their dogs on skiing holidays! I am sure you can buy a dongle which will work, a friend of ours has one for his boat in Turkey pretty much on a "payment top up basis".
Five weeks in a ski resort and with your dog - wow, have a wonderful time.

@skibumwithknobson, Sure you can buy from Orange probably. Many bars have free wifi too. Not too sure on ski mountaineering. Here probably Damien Albert (Google him) or down in La Grave, you should get one or two free days there with a half season pass. I'll also ask a mate who is an instructor here who's into mountaineering too.
Yes give me a shout. I'm back in UK for a week in February not sure of dates yet. A mate did the same last year drove over with his dog and rented another friends apartment for 6 weeks. He had a great time and extended it going home via Italy and Spain.

@skibumwithknobson, Bumped into Ian today he's an instructor with European Ski School. Do you mean touring with perhaps a bit of climbing required? He's into touring (I've got the gear too) and would happily take you on his day off. For gear probably Ski Extreme, I'll pop in and ask them, I know the owner and her ski man.

Another friend told me yesterday there are only 2 places here hire touring gear. One is Venosc Sports and the other is in L2A 1800. Not certain which one it us up there. Could be difficult I think.

you can get a 4g dongle from the tourist office in L2A, its the Tourist office by The Jandri Lift. Its 45 euro for a week, but allows 10 devices on it. We used it in January with 10 devices, and it is very fast, our lot were streaming movies, watching footy and general surfing with ease. You have to leave card details ( pay by card only no cash and they take a 150 euro deposit, so you return the dongle ).
Don't know if they do a deal for a longer hire period, but worth asking

Hey..how'd I miss these posts!! Thanks all!
Yeah sort of slightly more extreme ski touring from what I can gather? But since I've never done ski touring I should probably start with that  I've got a few weeks so hopefully find a day or two where I can hire some kit and find a friendly face to take me. If your mate Ian is feeling generous with his time that'd be ace!
Cheers @Timbobaggins ... I'll see if they can do anything for a longer period!

@skibumwithknobson, I've done a little gentle touring and have the gear, I might do a bit next week. Happy to help to begin with. Ian goes quite a bit on Saturdays which is his day off. I should be here when you arrive, probably going back to UK for a few days the following week. We can meet up for a drink if you want, I'll send you a PM.
