Couldn't give you specifics, but I'd guess it is something to do with the 2009 world championships....they are also going to be clearing the Solaise area to create the womens downhill, I think the idea was that they will have some sort of grandstand finish for all alpine events....

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

I think it is an archeological dig to find my teeth after my face plant at the bottom of 'La Face' some years ago.

martski; i doubt you're the only one.
There is probably a rich seam of enamel there for one lucky prospector, I bet the tooth fairy's shitting herself!

There was talk of a sports centre, a new swimming pool, conference facilities and so on. Initial build for the forthcoming world championships, but after them to be modified to be a generally useful facility in the resort. Cannot remember where/when I heard this.

was supposed to be a very swish new pool complex which was going to be used as a press centre for the 2009 champs first but they didn't get the grants and so on they applied for so that's not happening now. No one seems to be 100% sure what IS happening, latest word is that it's going to be a much smaller swimming pool (very like the perfectly good one we have already!). Something is still happening anywy as they're still digging.

I read in a magazine, whilst waiting for a hair cut in Albertville yesterday, that Jean Claude Killy has resigned as Director of the committee, or whatever, planning for the Mondiale, because of terminal frustration with the lateness of things and the arguments between the commune and the FIS, not least over how much bulldozing would be necessary to produce the level of safety for competitors and spectators being demanded by the FIS. Plus lots of personality problems which were only hinted at. The FIS, the article said, was threatening to take the championship elsewhere. May have been a load of rubbish, of course (as was the subsequent haircut...)
edit - sorry, I see this was flagged on Snowheads days ago! Might have known.

Yep Killy has resigned due to lack of progress & political infighting (surprise surprise, it's Val we're talking about!). Not sure that the FIS have threatened to take the event away but there are rumours that another resort somewhere (??) has approached them to say that they will be ready if we won't. The Town Council have so far kept pretty quiet about this!
