:shock: :(

This is an awful start to the 1st full opening week of the season.

I'm guessing that the pilot reached a point in time where he could fly back full, or empty because of his duty hours.

Give that man a :thumbup:

How absolutely awful :mrgreen: Skidaddle will be coming back wanting some mid fats in order to enjoy the best of all that powder.

I hear on the grapevine that the car hire area has been moved at Geneva airport and is causing some issues.

Has anyone got any light to shed on this..? Have a stressed father-in-law trying to make plans about driving up to St Martin and rumour-ville isn't helping at the moment..!

Thanks for help

Rental desks are in the arrivals hall on the Swiss side as usual. Car hire vehicles are now located at P51, and a shuttle bus is provided for the transfer.

The car park is about a 10 minute walk, which would be hard work if you had luggage, so take the bus provided.

Then I have no idea what the large pallet of stuff was for. Each bag was clearly labelled with the IDE mfr's name and Trockener Steg. It did look like salt. Maybe they have a really, (really) large dishwasher?

:shock:

I don't seem to have problems accommodating my longer 2nd toes. Always have to keep my big toenail really short. I do try to ski with my toes relaxed though.

Many years ago, a bootfitter in Cardiff blew shell space for each toe in some new boots :D

Last season, almost every skier I saw was wearing Sinner goggles. They seem to be really popular, and now that you can get them in TK Maxx, I can see why. My OH and kids have all got these ones:

That's a smart model. Yes, they seem to be gaining quite a following. I saw some Sinner goggles in TK Maxx, Bristol. Not the OTG ones though.
