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 :-)

I should add that as a hardened sauze ex rep (now in my forties) i am not a case of "awh bless" more of a case of i require black and white info of where and when to go. i.e. go to x bar 7-9 for happy hour but make sure the barmaid knows you want 2 for 1 as she will normally rip you off for standard price...and i recommend the xx cocktail as it has x amount of vodka, or i like the glasses they serve it in or they do put too much ice in... etc. or 10-12 for good live music ... it is french or english clientel and the toilets are rubbish/ excellent, and the age group of this bar during the hours of x to x are 20-30 and x to x are 30 to 40. Have I made my point?.

well, here goes. 3am here. mucho vinos gande...

top tip. Monday night appears to be bar crawl (which I avoided) However every night saloon bar 2000-2200, 2 for 1 on cocktails. long island ice tea, basically 1/3 pint of tiquial and vodka & coke. sounds rough but very nice. Music a bit less chelsea and more Moss side (...eeem nice) All young sponsored rats have gone home.(...eeeeemh better) seems to be a load of gurkas in town! (....eeeemh allegedly hard buggars if in a corner.. nice)

can some tell me how to post pics her. have reduced pics to 50k. shows real snow views of village.

top tip 2
Moris bar, notice one 'r'. totally excellant. live band, and great fun in whole bar. totally recommended. highlight of hols so far.

Bet made with 'steady phil' that he will lead us to do 75km tomorrow(on ski and lifts as measured by GPS). if yes then we (cjb & myself) pay for pizza and beers, if not he pays.

still nicking my neighbours unencrypted wifi connection.(....eeeemh cheap)

can some tell me how to post pics her. have reduced pics to 50k. show real snow views of village.

so long suckers.

Found just about all of them now.

The highly recommended pubs are :
2000-2200 Victors bar (above Spar) serve excellant cocktails during these happy two hours o 2-4-1. Euro 13. They are strong and yet very well made. Tends to attract the chelsea set - tea cosies & flat caps, jeans hanging around the bottom of their back bottoms and pants showing.

After that it has to be Moris Bar. Very good bands and a good atmosphere. Be careful in Moris bar they charged me euro7 for a beer last night! I since found a away of getting beers here and most other places for euro 4 but I think you should PM rather than openly tell you here.

Lodge bar (just down from Dicks Tea bar) Good atmosphere for this tiny bar. Seems OK.


================
The so so bars are:

Le petit danois is OK but the happy hour (4-6) and their FAXE lager at Euro 4 is a bit gassy & average. The residant band (2 for U) swedish girl & boy are very good, although nothing like their promotion poster pics. It is a bit laugh trying to workout when the pics were taken. Good looking barmaids.

Saloon. Very low ceiling, no ventilation. Bit hit and miss really. Seem to aiming at a younger crowd. But seemed pretty empty towards later in the week.

banannas: a bit of hole realy. Although the lunch time is mush more civilised. Again no ventilation down stairs and speakers/ amps that have passed their best. Lager is very average and gave me and my mate a bad throat after just one pint.


Cafe face: low ceilings, crap ventilation, trendy crowd. personally I would avoid.

Thats all for now. Back to searching for my umbrella.

yes they still serve red eric but i do not now much a pint. Being a conscientious reporter I will find out tomorrow. Do you require the tourist or sessionaire price?. Please note that the girl singer is a bit a big bird and does nothing for my digestion so I may have to restrict to single pint and not a comprehensive survey.

I hope you mean, by sessionaire price, that the more you drink, the cheaper it gets!

B00thy, staff prices in resort are normally a bit cheaper.

kezzy1966, tourist price, for a laugh! (oh, and I always found sitting at the bar the best place to be in LPD - great views of the scandinavian peaks...)

B00thy, No discount to tourists on volume unfortunately. Tourist prices in most pubs in the village are generally 6-7euros, sessionaire 4 euro. and I thought the London prices were a rip off!

Sat 20 jan 1130 CET. As promised prices for Red eric. euro 6.50 for 50cl. no discount for seasionnaires as imported. But agree it is good stuff. much better that the faxe lager.

Please also not that LPD have a 2-4-1 9pm to 10pm so 4 erics for euro 13 that @euro 3.25 about £2.13 ...result! (also not that eric is not discounted in their apres ski happy hour of 4-6pm.

How comes I find out about this on the last night???? ... bummer .

Therefore, as 40 year old skiier who like apres ski I would recommend:

1600-1800: happy hour at Petit danois. Fax beer at 4 euros (faxe beer is a bit dodgey (gassy and little flavour) but atmosphere is great). Good resident band '2 for U'.

1830-2000: pizza in flash pizza & share a bottle of cote de rhone (approx for 44euro for 3 people). place only seats around 10 people. recommend as light a topping as possible to compliment super light bases. Perhaps just garlic butter and herbs?

2000-2130: Victors for happy hour (actually HH is 2000-2200 but suggest leave early for LPD) especially recommend tokyo ice teas (13 euro for 2). Clientel appear to be a bit stuck up their own behind but the cocktails are well made. Also the food (mixed asian) looks good although perhaps presented in a bit of a poncey fashion.

2130-2200: Petit danois (actual happy hour 2100-2200) load up with several red erics. Note the flavoured vodka 2.50 euro all night anyway. Great sounds (DJ) playing mixed tracks of all eras. Good atmosphere. higher ceilings & more venitilation than most competition (salloon, cafe face, etc)

Probably stay on at petit drinking stored up red erics until midnight

0000-0130 Moris bar for generally very good live bands but don't buy any drinks - absolute rip off at 7 euros. Sod em!

Back to blighty tomorrow.

Hopefully this has been helpful. PM if it has/has not or any details changed.

Seeya, K.

kezzy1966,

1) between 4 and 5 it was 2 Euros (does anyone know the escape sequnce for kezzy1966, the Euro sign?). Then it went up to 2.20 till 6.

I don't know 'bout that afterwards cos moved off.

2) OK, nothing special but hey, refer back to the 2euros comment

3) Petit Danois and Moris both good. I certainly had Guiness in Moris for 7 euros but I thought "beer" beer was more reasonable, Bands good though

Band also in Saloon but not much seating (I need to sit at 4-4:30!)
