Hammering it down again. :mrgreen:

Looks like rain :wink:

Fine snow in the valley at 1350m, and heavy up the top. Its not warm enough for rain, just look at the webcam by the stream down at the bottom.

Well, we are now entering the final countdown.
Days to go is now in single figures.
Michael Fish has predicted that there will be several CM's of snow between now and next week.
The skis edges are looking sharp.
The clothes are clean and ready to be packed into the suitcase.
Hand Luggage prepared in the event of "Force Majure" or in the TO opinions that includes idiots not loading the plane of the damn frogs being on Strike.

All we need to do now is get some currency, pick up my new helmet, get the OH a new jacket and pray that the next 8days fly by.

Where are you getting your OH a new jacket from?? I looked everywhere last week and most shops seem to have removed their ski stock! Think I might buy a new one whilst I'm out in France.

As you may be aware, I had to buy new 'everything' when I went to France over the new year so I am able to tell you now that buying in France is NOT a good idea. It is sooooooooo expensive! If you are minted then ignore this message but if you are not then you would be better off buying a jacket before you go.

you can find a list of UK ski shops here:

Or you can do a google search for shops near to you, they might have started reducing there prices at this time of year too. :D

Agreed Bandit. I had to buy new sallos in ADH, and paid 105 euros for some Quiksilver ones which I didnt think was bad, until I found they are £85 in Ellis Brigham :evil:

50cm of snow forecast in the next 8 days though for Serre Che. Bangin.

I saw those!!! I wanted to get a pair to go with the jacket I 'had to buy' in Les Men, but my OH kept dragging me away from the shop by the scruff of my collar. :lol:

Gadget Girl, I would suggest either Ellis Brigham, Blacks or Cotswolds.

My OH wants a Blue Animal Jacket which were seen in Black and Cotswolds a few weeks ago so we are hoping they are still there.

If not and she cant find anything I will have some new sallos instead :lol:

Shes already got a nice jacket, and you need some caramel colour sallos to go with your jacket.
Easy decision pal.
