See you in Val Thorens?

My ski trip is finally sorted for 2009. There's a group of 6 of us off to Val Thorens. According to j2Ski, we've timed it perfectly as the forecast shows a dump of snow on the radar for Sunday and Monday!

So how do we get to Val Thorens? You can get the Eurostar from London and grab a connecting service in Gare du Nord in Paris. The snow train will then take you South, where you eventually stop at Moutiers. Val Thorens is approximately a 35 - 40 minute transfer.

So if any of you are heading over to Val Thorens next week, I hope to see you on the slopes! We have a few fancy dress outfits planned, so if you see Captain America on the slopes give me a wave!

Snow Train. Made of Snow.

Check out this cool picture from the Harbin 2009 Ice & Snow Festival! It's an actual snow train. No problems about carbon reduction here! The passenger carriages have even been partly carved out for visitors to go inside.
