I'm so envious of you having been skiing - dont think we can afford to this year. Last year we were in a fantastic chalet in Tignes. Know what you mean about the boots even though we have our own. Lange bang as it is often known. We have been very lucky with the food only having a problem the year we went to Norway and OH got food poisoning and sent the whole night vomitting.
Been collected from behind a couple of times where the person responsible didnt stop (in US they take the lift pass away if you are caught doing this).
