SMALLZOOKEEPER, should be there w/e Dec 16/17 as have flights booked to Geneva.
Although all the talk of resort not being open until 23rd may mean we have to head elsewhere.....

David Murdoch, thanks for that
I hope Le Tour is open as well as have yet to ski there properly as bad weather has stopped us getting more than a couple of runs there every visit so far.......

SMALLZOOKEEPER, I may make a trip down at some stage.
When will the beginner slopes open?

Probably but they open it when there has been enough snow to make the glacier safe.......

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

bladeskier, I don't think SMALLZOOKEEPER does part exchanges. I tried part exing Mrs PhillipStanton for a Mammut jacket at the weekend and he was having none of it...
Anyway, (having no managed to secure a Mammut jacket instead) Mrs PhillipStanton and I are doing our BASI 3s in Morzine all season - which I'd count as "sort of local". It's certainly close enough to join in any adventures on offer...

bladeskier, I was there about 20th Jan last year and the Grands Montets lift was not open - although was due to open that weekend (but didn't due to high winds). The Vallee Blanche was "open", but the guide offices were extremely reluctant to take anyone up there they didn't know as the arrete was not equipped, and you had to swear on the bible that you were godlike on skis and knew which way up crampons went etc. That was probably a bit of a late opening season though.
Will probably squeeze a weekend in some time early season.
