Hmmm looking like a wet day today Though always like to think that Rain in town Means snow on our peaks…………. We ALWAYS like snow And of course we need it So we can ski On the 29th…………. The interseason has been racing past Can’t believe it is already the 2nd of November…….. |
|
More Team GB news from Milan……… But not a snowflake in sight The only woman in the competition……… 44-year-old Rachel Ferrington from Hay-on-Wye And her male teammates Reached the quarter finals Of the World Timbersports Championships. She already has a world record in the sport… I had never heard of it before…….. To be fair, RACHEL only heard about it 3 years ago. What is it ? A race to cut logs With chainsaws and axes. |

Savoie Mountain Pompiers Rescued a dog that fell Thirty five metres into a ravine. He was found at night Using thermal imaging Winched up And returned Home Unharmed. If you are wondering why firemen were called….. In France they are responsible For protecting People Animals Property And the Environment From Danger Disasters or hazards……. If you need them Dial 18 |
|
POTENTIAL Price fixing ….. The European Commission Is investigating…… Amer which owns Atomic and Salomon And Tecnica whose brands include Blizzard skis Nordica And moon boot. Cartels Restrictive practices Limiting production Dividing the markets Are all FORBIDDEN. Both companies are co-operating fully and Confident That they will be cleared. |
|
Second hand Sales …. Skis ….. toys …. There are some events coming up In Val, Seez and Bourg Where preloved items Can find a new home Have put the dates on the Calendar page. And will add any more that I see. |
|
While thinking about the calendar page….. There is also a ‘search’ Which trawls through all the episodes If you are trying to find something MAYBE you missed an earlier episode….. I know Unlikely Difficult to believe when I say ‘As I mentioned before………..’ your curiosity is piqued…. Transcript For All the wonderful words I have used. Mini Warning….. I do have to manually change this… If you see “times” and ‘weird words’ I am probably still out with The doodles And haven’t fiddled yet…… The Transcript on Apple is Their AI version So apologies for any weirdness…. At least They can NOW spell Val d’Isère…. |

Snowmad Gave awards for Best European ski resorts AND VAL WASN’T TOP… What is going on ??? Maybe it is because it is from reviews And maybe none of them Were lucky enough to get to Val… La Plagne won for best Beginner resort… Fair enough It is more beginner friendly than Val… And Italy’s Alta Badia In the Dolomites was the winner With it’s long lunches, long runs and Italian style skiing |
|
ANOTHER review that didn’t mention Val…. Vogue travel section had an article On the Best ski resorts in Europe for an Under the radar getaway…………. Val is over the rainbow Or the treasure at the end of the rainbow Not under a radar……… have to admit The places they did mention Look really nice……. |
|
If you are foot loose and fancy free Or your partner just doesn’t like skiing Think of coming on your own Cold Fusion Chalets I have mentioned before… Friendship Travel have an interesting selection, Though not in Val or Tignes Something nicer about Schussing and turning Chatting and Laughing Wineing and Dining Than Selecting and swiping. |

Today Is All Saints Day………cleverly and cheekily named after the current school holidays which end TODAY…….children will be back behind their desks tomorrow. The US are also celebrating Deviled Eggs…. Another thing they stole… Or borrowed Or were gifted…….. One of the three Italy first boiled and shelled their eggs, cut in half and filled with a paste made from egg yolks with stuff added … NO IDEA why they have a day celebrating something so simple…… Enjoy your Sunday Will Be back tomorrow |
