Tignes and the glacier have quite a high expected snowfall for this week, higher than most glaciers... should help for a good start to the season!

I know ski boots are a very important part of everyones skiing, and I feel it is important to highlight the good bootfitters in the Uk, and the not so good (surefoot). Here is the one I went to https://maps.app.goo.gl/4yHQAKeXPD5EkjQ37 It is called the fitting mill in Surrey (South Of London). It is very new (opened in September) and I had a very good experience with the owner (Sam)

Visited the London Snow Show this past weekend. The show is certainly getting bigger each year now and is always my kick start for the ski season ahead! Anyone else go?

Any other skiers on here get altitude sickness sometimes? I’ve had it at a couple of resorts in Austria and Switzerland where the common factor seems to be getting quickly whisked by cable car from a base station at say 1200m up to around 2500-3000m. I’ve felt sick, dizzy, disorientated and it can be debilitating and most importantly spoils my fun. It does tend to get better through the week. I know it’s much more common amongst mountain climbers who go a lot higher but it’s a common theme with me in that kind of resort. I’m fine somewhere like Tignes or La Plagne when staying higher up. Anyway, I’m going to try some medication next time acetazolamide, known by the brand name Diamox. I’ll let you know how it goes and if it’s any better.
