Most tour operators specialising in family holidays would be interested in employing a qualified nurse. What about you?

Snow conditions remain good and it was sunny this morning, but got a little cloudy this afternoon and we had a little bit of fresh snow.

rob@rar, On your firsts photo Wed Sept 29th I notice that on the extreme right there are are some tracks marked out in the snow. Having passed them a few times when skiing in Tignes I've often wondered what they are - I've been told that they are x-country tracks are they? and if not can you shed any light?

The tracks are for autumn cross country training. Lots of teams will be in Tignes soon for pre season high altitude training.
If the weather is bad the teams 'time trial' from Bourg st Maurice. This entails racing from Bourg to Tignes, approx 29km, up the mountain road on roller skis.

Hi Guys,
I been looking to go on a ski course last week Nov or first week December, I am always a little concerned about ski conditions early season having been to Verbier once, with only two piste open!  In general how much gets opened in Tignes first weeks of the season and is the off piste worth doing (without wrecking skis on rocks)!
Thanks
Neil

Impossible to answer as early snow can vary from excellent to poor. Last few opening weekends (last weekend in November) have enjoyed excellent early season snow so majority of the pistes have been open despite the resorts being very quiet. Off-piste that early in the season is always going to be a risk as the snowpack depth has had no time to build up, so even a dump of fresh snow which opens up off-piste opportunities isn't going to save you from crunching into rocks from time to time.
