Thanks for the update BB :)
I have felt mild 'altitude sickness' at around 3000m - tipsy and out of breath and exhausted and nose bleeds and things. I find it's worse if I go up really fast in a funicular or something. It's not so bad if I go up gradually in chairlifts, and it's better if I'm sleeping at a lower altitude - like 1300m.
I hope you all get over it, whatever it is :)

Altitude sickness now overcome......but.....shock, horror........I now have two daughters who are boarders. My youngest has shown remarkable progress in 2 days and reckons she's going to board from now on rather than ski. our very pleasant French ski hire shop owner looked quite forlorn at this news.
The youth of today!

BB - maybe you should have a go boarding yourself!
Best of luck to your 2 daughters :)
I was going to try it out on our group ski holiday to Tignes but I was too busy having fun on skis :)
I'm glad you're all over the altitude sickness.

Woke up to thunderstorms and 7 degrees this morning! Today's mountain biking cancelled. People were heading to the funicular with their skis which seemed fairly mad to us. Maybe snowing at the top?
