How Many Sleeps until your first encounter of the season?

72 days and counting! We only booked it two days ago and am now obsessively checking webcams and forecasts

Hi Bekkiwekki , and welcome to J2ski. I hope your countdown goes quickly :wink:

Thanks Alistair! Will be working most of the time so sure it will soon be here

Ally, Are you packed as your time has almost come around? :D

Hi Alistair,
Thanks for asking :D

No, I haven't done any packing yet. I was waiting to see if my ear infection cleared up with the antibiotics and ear spray. However, I went to the doctor's yesterday and he said I'm good to go!

I have 3 houses to clean/finish cleaning today, and an exhibition to help set up tomorrow, and then we can catch the train (and as you said I have to pack at some point).

We're flying Sunday and ski-ing on the glacier at Tignes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The weather forecast looks pretty good - 10cm snow on Sunday before we get there, and then 3cm on Monday and sunny on Tuesday and Wednesday. The winds are forecast to be very light and temperatures between -7 and +1.

There are currently 6 lifts open out of 36 (might increase to 8 though with the snow on Sunday), and the snow conditions are good on piste but 'limited' off piste (wasn't going to go there anyway, not without my survival tent, whistle, avalanche beacon, shovel, probe, extra lung or whatever it's called :D etc.).

Ally

Have a good un Ally 8)

Weather forecast sounds great, I hope that the journey goes smoothly for you :D

Steady on Ally, heaven forbid that any of us Holiday Harry's should approach this offpiste lark seriously :D

Enjoy 8)

Thanks Ian and Bandit,
I think I am a holiday Ally, not a holiday Harry :D :D :D
