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

I think Parlor is on a longish sailing jaunt around the Caribbean.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Cat4u, Leysin is a pretty skiing area, with some fantastic rocky scenery, lots of sunshine and some great cloud effects courtesy of the lake.
You can have plenty of fun just working your way from left on the piste map to right and back again, sticking to the simpler runs.
Two good places for lunch are the Buvette de Mayen which does some great cheese dishes and Les Fers which has a great terrace.
The green run down alongside Chaux de mont would probably be a good place to start off (to get off the lift at half way though otherwise you go up to a black run).

I wanted to show my grand-daughter some video of kids toboganning, to get her in the mood for Christmas in the Alps. By chance I came up with some youTube clips from Leysin - looked a very nice toboggan slope and Ella (10 months) smacked her hands on the table in appreciation.
