Great conditions in Les Arcs at the moment, hope they get another dump in the area

Snowing all day Saturday & Sunday apparently (and no sun) - typical as that's when I arrive !

"On the piste ... Rangie", verydisco? You shouldn't be drinking and driving ...
Groan  It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.

Not to mention the Lada Niva before those. (I said not to mention it!)

After it being perfect weather for skiing all week while I'm stuck in the office, this weekend is looking decidedly dodgy weather wise!

thats the best 'snow FF' pic i've seen...  ... - .- -.

Brilliant, started snowing as we were leaving, and guess what the car actually started!

Well kind of, turned over a bit before it caught, then wouldn't rev for 10 sec. But after that was fine. Think it was a good job it was in the underground garage at +4deg. Still got the judder under braking inhale on the France trip last year, but no hot caliper.... So thinking a warped disc

Anyhow, are there any disco 4's left in the UK? I think I passed them all on the way back to Dijon...... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Just got back from a slightly further afield ski trip than normal (just a small 13,000 mile round trip!)

Niseko which is on Hokkaido (Japan's northern island) - so far this season they have had 9 meters of snow!

Landscape was very different to the alps and somewhat more volcanic! Skiing was great

Japansese people were the most polite, considered and gentle people I have ever met. The UK could learn a lot.

Didn't see any FFRR out there tho. Nice to get in mine after a 12 hr flight from Tokyo! (and it started after two weeks in the hotel car park! )

Or a FIAT Panda 4x4

Great pics of Panda and Japan!

Wish I had the money to spend on luvverly toys like those track thingies!  It's "bébéchoon", ackcherly, with accents. 'Steve' to my chums.

I don't want the tiny snow cars. But I DO want a set of those tracked tyres. Off-road they look unstoppable!
