 Poster: A snowHead
|
Weather has been somewhat poo this week, what with rain, hurricane force south winds, general pants British weather behaviour etc etc, particularly today when everything was shut except for the drag lifts on the beginner slopes. 
For anyone out there who bought a multi-day pass this week:
- if you took the resort's insurance with your pass, it may refund you a day for today. Pick up an insurance leaflet/claim form from the ticket office.
- if you didn't take the insurance, the lift company may offer you an extra day's skiing or a voucher for a day pass - these vouchers are usually valid for three seasons. Check with the ticket office to see what's on offer.
- your own insurance may reimburse you the cost of a day - check your policy and ask at the main ticket office for a letter stating what percentage of the lifts were closed.
The company's T&Cs state that in the event of 75% of the lifts being closed they will offer an extra day or a voucher, and the insurance will reimburse the cost of a lost day. The bigwigs will be deliberating on the matter tomorrow, and will hand down their judgement to the cashier minions in the course of the morning, so go and pester them to see if you're entitled to any freebies.

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

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Lizzard, Thanks very much I would not have thought of asking for a refund thinking that's a chance you take when you buy the pass. I'm in Flaine but asked them tonight and they will refund me 30 euros on three passes. 90 euros is not to be sniffed at.  Thanks

Linds, no, I mean the insurance which you can buy at the ticket window along with your pass.
Currently they are offering a day's extra skiing to anyone with a five or six day pass ending on Dec 24 or 25. Anyone unhappy with that is invited to write to the lift company, and each case will be considered individually. Obviously a day's extra skiing isn't a lot of use to someone with a flight to catch, so I'd advise writing to them if you're in that position.
