bookham_mat, Not done it, but I have a lift pass from last season bought in Meribel and it can be topped up online. I believe that you top it up with say 6 days and it starts when you first go through your first lift entrance. Presumably if you don't have one of these already, they will send you one by post and credit you with the days you've purchased. You have to pay for this type of pass you can top up, but it's only about 2 or 3 euros I think.
I thought it would be worth getting one of these, as if I got to the 3V again (likely), I can do it all online.

thanks for the response. ok so ive bought it online. worked out cheaper as we were able to get a family pass classing children up to the age of 21 unlike in the resort where it is 18.
i think theyre gonna send me then out before the 17th. they said we dont need to do anything else just use the lifts on our first day of skiing.
now i think thats fantastic, no ques no walking to the office. we can be the first one up the mountain instead of losing 2 hours of our first day. i thought theyd just give you the confirmation and you would have to pick up the pass in resort.
to top it all we've saved nearly 40 quid each. woo hoo

did it for a group of 8 last year, no problems and much easier than sorting it out in resort.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I think more and more resorts are providing this service now - including our little one - but to judge by the insane queues at new year most people still do it the old fashioned way. I did a meribel one for a day trip last year - having had a tip off on Snowheads about the card thingies being provided free to promote the new service. I was a bit nervous, but it worked.
And as for the days when you had to fiddle around digging your pass out and putting it into the machine...... long gone!

We bought our family lift pass this way for Mongenevre and got the family deal - bit nerve racking the first time you do it but a great feeling when your passes drop on the mat. And a small smile when you sail past the lift queues on the first morning. You seem to get some good deals this way - in addition to the family deal we could have had free skiing the afternoon we arrived (although unfortunately our flight was a late one and we couldn't use this and also cheaper deals on one of the tunnel crossings if we'd come through Italy.
