 Poster: A snowHead

In Tignes we got a place right next to the pistes... pretty much ski in/out. Meant we could do our own things, my mates could pick up their lad from ski school and we could have lunch in the apartment with a cold beer and a proper sit down. Worked out that we didn't take much longer than eating on the mountain and saved a bundle.

I've never bothered taking stuff off the breakfast buffet for lunch but I dont mind others doing it, each to their own. I do actually take a piece of fruit each for the kids though.

In France there does seem to be a few places that do an "American" sandwich which is a big baguette filled with burgers and salad and served with chips - that easily feeds two - and I'm greedy.

I must confess that when in hotels in winter, I'm a confirmed and crafty breakfast stealer but I just cannot eat first thing in the morning, and only have a coffee and juice, maybe an apple, at the table. I sneak it out and eat it on the lift - otherwise I wouldn't eat any. Don't judge me I really don't have any more than anyone else! I bet they're going to start properly cracking down on this soon  don't really blame them.
Some local chalet companies have started offering packed lunches included which I think is a really good idea, especially in Chamonix where the mountain restaurants are mostly nothing special.

don't buy a lift pass - use touring kit to get up the hill, then slide back down.

You know it makes sense.

Don't leave the free nursery slope all week and get on a bloody stricty diet, take a tent and drink urine all week.
I think that's you sorted!

In some resorts there are so few public toilets that drinking urine is a serious money saving tip. Last time I was in L3V, I was shocked to see how few loos were available without buying a breathtakingly overpriced drink to make sure you returned in short order.

I watched our chalet host throw a bunch of croissants in the bin as we left one morning... so on that basis I can justify my own plundering of the breakfast table for my mid morning snack!

FAQ
) nick stuff from breakfast then proceed to eat it when they're sitting with us outside a restaurant at lunchtime. There's always "Picnic Interdit" signs everywhere and it's sooooo embarrassing. They're also always on the scrounge too with comments like, "Can I just pinch a chip/bit of pizza - it looks delicious!"
Lightweight. An 'American burger' is a mid morning snack for a real man. Feed 2 my ar*e.
