Glad to see you back on deck! But the important textmate question is....

How was the skiing at Val Thorens? Good snow? Lift cues?

It was all very good indeed, thanks.

We had clear blue sky the first week, and then got new snow (and a lot of haze) in the start of the second week, which was needed at that time, and after that, sunny again -- so a good trade-off weather- wise (although a little more snow would have been nice).

Lift queues were surprisingly short -- and boy did we get a lot of cheese :)
