Hi,All

Welcome to the new site and so far it looks great, will have a better chance to delve deeper over the next few days or so, as the new season is nearly upon us what are peoples thoughts about the comming season and what it will bring, also has anyone seen the 1st snowfalls anywhere yet?

All the best

Yay! They had quite a bit in Austria this week. Hopefully this means that snow bases will begin to recover high up now.

We have begun a regular update - currently called ‘Glacier watch. It’s meant to highlight the conditions in the run-up to the season proper, and most open resorts in October / November will be glacier ones. As things really get going, we’ll pick up our snow overviews again. And there will be snow and weather feeds here soon too.

Anyone taking a December break?

Hi,

I am hoping to get out to BsM in early November for some hiking and to partake in the local cuisine and a few vin chaud’s, and also to pay my Taxe D’Habitation , and then will hopefully be out there propper in late January for a week…..how about yourself when is your next trip.

Jon,

Do you actually pay your tax in person? Paying online is very easy. Even I can manage it without speaking a word of French.
Whoops sorry Wendy I am drifting off topic yet again

Hi both

Glad to see you’re back in action on the forum  

I haven’t actually planned my skiing yet - though hoping to fit in a couple of days before Christmas, probably Austria.

So, John - do you reckon we should create an ‘off-topic’ forum too (kinda coffee lounge for chit chat)? Seems to be popular on other outdoor sport forums.

Hi John,

I normally pay my Taxe Foncieres by cheque and just drop it in the post via International Recorded delivery, but when my Taxe D’Habitation arrives it gives me an excuse for a sneaky long weekend away to BsM, and I just drop into the Tresorerie Public office and pay in cash.

It’s interesting you mention about paying online I hadn’t thought of that, I will deffinately have a look into that,cheers.

When will you next be out in Les Arcs?, I think there is some snow expected in the next week or so.

I think that would be good, as it does seem that when topics are replied to (certainly in my case sometimes) we do go off topic at times,and then come full circle as it were.

You could do with some R & R Wendy after getting the site up and running,good job bye the way.

Ok - if others agree, we’ll see what we can do.

Many thanks - it’s a full team effort, and the designers are doing a great job. Lots more to do, but we’ll be heading for the snow as soon as we can - watch out for the blogs!

And we look forward to your reports on Les Arcs this year.

Wendy
