Thanks everyone, for those kind words :D
I'm glad the planning for this holiday is working out so well, but I'm sorry that not all those who wanted to come could manage it, because of the date.
Let's hope that all those who were disappointed this year will be able to make the 2014 holiday :D
Organizing this holiday has forced me to improve my computer skills - not just with Excel, but other things as well. Like, now I can post up 'stills' from moving webcams - like the one of
Tignes Le Lac this morning. It's surprising how much I have learned from the other members of the group, particularly Far Queue, who has given me a great deal of help.
And on that note, here is a picture of Les Brevieres, that I 'prepared earlier', taken from the webcam this morning.
You can see the dam in the centre of the valley. And to the right you can see a route down through the trees which is the red run Pavot. The blue piste Myrtilles comes in from the left close to the bottom of this. And the black Sache run joins the red run before the section you can see.
There are 3 lifts at the bottom of these runs - the short beginners drag lift Pitots, the Brevieres chair lift up to Les Boisses at 1850, and the Sache gondola which takes you up above Les Boisses and connects with lifts to Le Lac and the Aiguille Percee (eye of the needle) at 2748m.
There are only 3 rooms left in the chalet now, out of a total of 15. So, if anyone else is interested in joining us in Tignes Les Brevieres they'd better say so before the chalet is fully booked. The 3 rooms left are all quad rooms but Bonjour will accept them being occupied by only 2 people, for the basic price of £399 per person. If 4 adults share a quad room the price is £350 per person.
Flights, transfers, lift passes, and ski hire are extras on top of the basic price for the catered chalet. The total cost works out at around £850 per person depending on how much you have to pay for your flights/train fare/self-drive etc.
