My early purchase season ticket for Val D'Anniviers should cost 675 Swiss Francs, always assuming my application arrived in time (or at all)

Ski in/out and St Anton, are not usually found in the same sentence, sine the resort is in the bottom of a valley.

I don't think I could ski in a stance in which I receive a badminton serve :P (something like two feet between my feet, no weight on heels...) I see your point, though.

And your balance is dynamic in that position, and ready to react quickly. Bit like skiing then, with the need to change balance/direction/edge pressure........or risk ending up in a heap.

Wow, bad news, there is never a good time for for this to happen :( I hope you get some offers soon, and can see in 2009 without worry over the future.

Have fun!

AFAIR the prices for all the hills are now the same, as one company runs the entire system. Agree with all the other points tho :D

Welcome to J2ski :D As far as I recall there are a few free car parks, on the way up to Bellecote, before you head up to Belle Plagne, however competition for a space is pretty fierce, as you can imagine. Don't be tempted to leave the car at the side of the road, it may get ploughed in, or worse still, towed away.
