I thought Laz was an early investor in Dan Ackroyd's vodka 

OMG, my daughter is currently skiing in Val Thorens…

But she’s 26 and quite demure, and deffo would not twerk.

I will however tell her to watch  out for a portly Englishman with over-sized skis going too fast for his ability.

After the first time I went, when I thought it was amazing, I've always thought it was an absolutely awful place full of awful people. Would rather get a few more runs in any time. 

Great for noobs though. 

I go to Foulie Douce at least three times in any week I spend in a place that has a Folie Douce. I’m the opposite of a noob when it comes to skiing. HOWEVER i have never been a HUH! First lift guys? HUH! Might just get a few more runs in kind of tede. I usually get out at about 10, 90 min stop for lunch, either ski til 4 or stop about three at LFD or local equivalent. 

9 to 10 is the worst time to be getting on your first lift. You're in with all the ski school people skipping the queue holding everything up. 

 

You either need to be ahead of that wave or behind it. 8.45 latest or 10 o'clock onwards. 

We popped into LFD in Val d’Isere a couple of weeks ago to see what all the fuss is about. It is a thing to behold and worth a visit but we are not going back any time soon. I’m too old for that shizzle.

And if you’re in Tignes remember that Tommeuses shuts at 5pm sharp and has massive queues.
