Just on my way home after a long weekend in Grenoble bensey. Although this was ice hockey related rather than skiing.

Chamonix early next year hopefully. A few years ago I treated myself to a Lib Tech skate banana which is a really fun board to ride.

Glad its looking like there could be some snow this year! Annual trip to Cervinia xmas week and then Val Disere in March for my mother's 70th (still skiing!). I've found myself fancying a more 'fun' board (save me waiting on the gf every run) I hear good things about the skate banana, enjoy!

[milanbenes]

good going all,

Martin Chamonix sounds great, I've never been, too far for us to drive

Pondi since ice is also white we'll allow you in this thread, hope you are doing fine

WTFH where are you off to in Italy ? The Sela Ronda ?

Millenial - you win, I love Cervinia, longest slopes I've ever ski'd, and cheaper accomodation food than Zermat :-)

Milan.

Its a little hidden gem, a bit tricky to get to sometimes compared to the French resorts, but worth it. Funny we used to go somewhere different every year, but once we'd been to Cervinia now its hard to look past it.

Getting a bit older and aware of my own mortality so no black runs or break neck speeds, nice easy rollers. Having an Italian girlfriend helps too!

Oh that brings back memories from when I used to work for a French company.

Did you go to "A Confesse", it was stonking 25 years ago.
There is also a Tex mex near the cable car which was again good.
