Laughing out loud Where's that? I'll be in Val Thorens.

While I'm here, I was going to take my camera, but I'll inevitably be falling over. Where's the safest place to keep it, and what shall I keep it in?

For VT. If you have a Decathlon or something nearby a cheapo set of merino thermals and silk glove liners will make life slightly more bearable. Avoid wool/cotton.

I keep mine in my chest pocket if I've not got a pack with me.

At least there will be plenty of snow. Snow can start to slow down and get interestingly sticky below about -15. Shaping up to be a great week though Cool

Luke I think you should write me into your will before you leave so that I can distribute your possessions amongst the people you love most, Fukers.
