Poster: A snowHead
|
Any heard situation with Courmayeur? Am here but Plan Checrouit cleared of guests tonight due to risk of land slip again. Just met someone sent down to town for rest of their week being told no more skiing for foreseeable. Nothing on website and nothing on it but taxi driver also says resort is closing.
Don’t want to raise a false flag but something seems to be happening!

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

Thanks Idris but can’t make any sense of what I can see on these links- is it saying resort open tomorrow?

Update from taxi driver is resort not closed just parts of plan Checrouit. supergee hotel is closed for foreseeable- which is where guys we spoke to had been evicted from and they’d understood no more skiing for rest of season.
So nearly all good!

Update- access from Courmayeur and Dolonne lifts a bit of a scrum as all feeds into ski school button lift or 50m climb up entry piste to Dolonne piste but apart from that all good

@sbcole7 Got back from there yesterday - it was snowing heavily when we left, and as conditions were already superb you're going to have a great time. We chatted to some people who worked in one of the restaurants in Plan Checrouit (they were drowning their sorrows in a bar having been 'let go' for the rest of the season) and they showed me a video of the landslip on their phone - it happened just after the lifts had closed so could have been much worse, but even so must have been frightening. You can easily work around the closed area, it's just a bit of a faff having to queue for a drag or walk up a slope to start the day.
