I'm looking forward to hearing about the Tunnel. Maybe a less exaggerated report than my brother in law's :D
Have a good one

I didn't do it last time and it is on my agenda for the week. What was it like for you?
Thank you Ally, Bandit and Caron I will try to give a good report on my return. :lol:
Thanks Rose, your advice will most definitely be taken!
Ooooh, I hadn't noticed. :wink:

I wasn't too impressed by Tunnel myself.
The actual tunnel itself has such a sharp entrance to it that you can't carry enough speed to make it through without polling, or using the wall mounted rope for the boarders.
After that there was a seriously steep black that had so much powder on it it was practically unskiable for everyone I saw attempting it. This meant you didn't have the speed coming off the steep section to make it up the slight uphill that led onto the route home.
However, Tunnel had been closed all week I was there due to excess snow and only opened the day before we were due to leave so it might not have been in its usual state.
Have a great time though, I thoroughly enjoyed APH last year

Tunnel was shut several days I was there, and Mrs H was not interested in doing it, and the boarders I was with dont do moguls anyway, so I wasnt bothered about missing it really. Moguls are avoidable and annoying at times, I prefer pistes and powder tbh.
I dont think Scapula is too keen on it, but knowind SB she'll get him on it somehow.
Enjoy.
On, and snowbandit..... wooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh (white sheet over head kind of noise)
