 Poster: A snowHead

As some of you may know I'm doing a day trip to Les Arcs to ski on Saturday 16th Jan. I'll be on the 1st funicular up, renting skis and having breakfast; after that I'm good to go (from around 8.45am). I'm planning to meet Mouth (will PM mobile number and we can liaise) - anyone else there that day and fancy a meet up?
Alternatively for a bit of apres? That plan is for a beer at Les 3 Arcs till maybe 6.00ish then down to Bourg for supper before joining the Euro* at around 9:00 PM

Still on the other hand you will be in an ideal position to give a nice up to date report on snow conditions for us visiting the next week

holidayloverxx, you should have posted this on the Les Arcs thread in the snow reports section, that is where most of the locals post. If you want to meet up PM me your mobile number as a few of us should be around that day. have a good trip out. Will be nice to meet you. Maybe even have a ski.

holidayloverxx, Are you planning on having breakfast before going up the hill when you arrive and eating out before you leave on the train in the evening or eating on the train. There are some good places to in bourg. Let me know if you want any help with arranging this as well.

snowcrazy, I'm planning on getting breakfast at 1600 before/or after hiring skis. I will be eating out in Bourg, probably at Tartiflette or similar.

holidayloverxx, What time does your train arrive. To be sure to be on the first lift, the following details might help you.
Best breakfast is in bourg at Chez Roger just up from railway station if they are open or at bazooms across the road from 7am ish. Funi starts from 7.30 ish I think. Ski set in Arc 1600 opens at 8.30am normally. First cachette lift starts at 9.15am. Skiing finishes at 5pm now. Best evening meal (value for money) in bourg is Petit St Bernard at 16.70 Euro for four courses. Always fills me up and I eat a lot. Eat there then walk 200m and get on the train to go home.
Hope that helps. PM me if you want any more details.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
snowcrazy, thanks. the train gets in at 06:27. I'll bear your breakfast recommendations in mind - better to eat in Bourg to kill time before funi starts if poss. I've found the Petit St Bernard on the map, I know where it is - thanks for the tip.

hi holidayloverxx, I hope the trip goes well for you
I'll probably be heading over the Les Arcs that day as we are in Champagny for the weeknd on our annual "Dad's Ski Trip"! Typically this involves skiing as much as possible on the Saturday (hence heading over on the Vanoise to see that side of Paradiski as well) then a slower pace on Sunday after a few too many beers on Sat eve 
I'll keep an eye out for you on the slopes.........

And the RatHat has gone! Poisoned ??

Jerry, - the rat hat is alive and well but a bit to bulky for a little case on a day trip; and it wasn't that cold tbh.

Think we'll set some traps on the next trip
