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

Best with 8 or 10 rather than 9, then you can have an even number on each ankle - stop you getting un-balanced in the air...

I'm worried about their fontanelles if I have to use a probe in an avalanche scenario. Will I injure them, or will it be a bit like fishing?

Maybe 8 would be ok, just to be on the safe side.

paulio, Venteuse (sp) should get them out with no trouble in that case (either that or a well directed sink plunger)

They'll all be wearing avalungs by the way, and Ed Leigh assures me that this absolutely guarantees their complete safety, in all situations.
I should also mention though, that I will also be carrying a predatory paedophile in my rucksack.

Won't the resort creche miss her?

Only if your skis have marker bindings

Only if they all have properly fitting ski boots. The rubber bands are unlikely to offer much protection. unless you are skiing on a bargin pair of heidiskis.

I strongly advise against this, it is against all health and safety standards, even with a helmet!!!!

How predatory? Are we talking PE teacher or dodgy uncle? Because he could help carry them in the tough bits.

paulio, Can't say I've tried it but at Easter the snow should be a bit softer making it safer and cheaper. You should maybe look at smaller cliifs for younger kids as with big differences in heights they may have problems clearing their ears. If the kids are not all your own you may need CRB clearance but otherwise I would just go for it.

But if you're actually asking for 'a friend' then it's really not your problem - is it?

I assume you mean newborn bats - to provide lift. Newborn sperm whales may nt be as effective...

Replace the rubber bands with avalanche cords and you should be OK.

Just make sure you take the rucksack off when mounting the ski lifts.
Oh and make sure that both of you are wearing helmets
and stay sober
and fit snow tyres
and carry chains
and get a telepeage chip
and watch out for inner tip lead
and get a CRB check
You'll be fine.

BUt best to check if your winter tyres are a legal requirement. And carry chains (and for that matter wear leather).

Should I take my own tiny fragile infants, or hire some in resort?
And if do decide to take my own, will I be allowed to wear them on the plane?

Axsman, and, if in France, wear a high visibility jacket.
paulio, it's better to hire - the carriage for 9 newborns is steep (especially on Ryanair) and you can always change them in resort if conditions change.

Wearing them is fine, alternatively if they fit in a clear plastic container, 10 cm by 5cm by 3 cm and contain less than 100ml of fluid they may be carried on*.
*Ryanair advise passengers that there is a £10 charge per infant per journey, and a further £10 per in flight nappy filled.

Babies and young children can be taken on Easyjet flights for free, if they are put your board bag and the weight does exceed 32kg for the bag, boards and children, combined.

Make sure the infants have the correct eye protection and suncream and you should be OK.

Depends, French baggage handlers can be a bit over attentive, they think babies should not go in the hold.

I think 've found a flaw, I think you have to have one adult to accompany each infant, and the thought of eight more paulios is........
