its verdons by night.

just turn up at the verdon lift around 6pm and hand over a few euro for a night riding lift pass.

Speak to Sue about it and see if she can have her chalet night off on the wed so then you can stay up in 1850, have a few beers. ride in the dark then get the 8pm bus down to bozel in time for a meal in the st roc.

I just got back from Val Thorens. There was a major dump before we got there, and we were then blessed with 3-4 days of glorious blue skies before even more snow started topping up the slopes. We missed the flight home due to a claimed 3 foot of snow overnight (which I don't quite believe) blocking the road out of resort. Ended up having to catch a plane from Chambery back to Gatwick instead of the original Geneva to Luton after a treacherous bus ride down the mountain. :D
If anyone is off to VT in the coming week/s, they're in for perfect conditions!
You're never too old to give it a try.
