Just checked the forecast for where we are going next Saturday

http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/St-Martin-De-Belleville/6day/mid

Temperatures -18 with wind chill factor down to -28 Brrrrrrr

Take your thermals, facemasks, fleeces and handwarmers and wrap up warm

We had similar conditions at Christmas so I am hoping for it to change dramatically by the 14th 8)

..and be careful moisture doesn't form between your face mask and your face which could then freeze and give you frostbite. Enjoy the mountains )

Hi PSC,
If you get as far as ski-ing to Courchevel, and you see a tall, fat, middle-aged woman in black cheap salopettes, a blue jacket and a white helmet, who keeps falling over, that will be me :lol:

I hope you have a great time, even if the weather is a bit cold. At least there is plenty of snow.

We were warned away from the neoprene masks due to the risk of frostbite even with them. The 'Buff' worked perfectly as a replacement.

Ally - if you see an average height, average sized, middle aged woman, in cheap but normally expensive brown Orage pants and a bright Green Columbia Jacket who is limping badly and wearing some really crappy rear entry boots off Ebay - that will be me!!

:oops:

Seriously PSC, if you're planning on ski-ing over to Courchevel (if your foot is well enough) let me know (send me a pm) and I'll give you my mobile number and we could meet up at lunch time. I've got lessons morning and afternoon but a break at lunchtime.
