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

Looks more like ski-bungee jumping.

Yes, bungee star-jumping. Maybe we can run some instructional tips on this.

"After patience finally runs out on the long Bellecombe drag between La Rosiere and La Thuile, locals decide to liven things up". Local businessman and property magnate M Last is quoted as saying "we'd rather see a rush of blood to the head on a drag lift than on one of the highspeed and thrilling runs in La Thuile and if anyone complains then two fingers to the lot of 'em".

Mark, now you are putting words in my mouth. The property magnates in La Rosiere are all local. I don't mind the Bellecote drags, it gives me the opportunity to enjoy the fantastic view and reflect on the fantastic skiing that could be available if ever the snow bowls above the col are opened up. BTW there is one terrific bit of off-piste that comes down from Mont Valaisan and finishes by the beginning of Bellecote 2. It's a bit of a hike up from the fort but worth it.

Mark, you could get one of the Arpin clan to take you out. Jacky Arpin runs the Evo2 ski school. You can be sure I will be in Willy's bar just as soon as I can, always an entertaining evening.

Cool - I met Jacky Arpin on our first trip there earlier this year. Gabrielle (youngest) was in the Esprit ski school when he tipped up and ended up instructing her 1:1. She's expecting him to pick things up when we're out there next! You could tell they were both enjoying the experience.

Helenjane, well there used to be a Scots guy named Rob who worked for them. Mr Arpin senior is my neighbour and if it's been snowing, you're bound to be woken up by the noise of his snow-blower very early in the AM.
