Hello from Oz. Just happened to drop in via one of your Forum postings (How to recognise a Tourist...). I just wanted to let you know that I was the Australian tourist skiing in the middle of a storm in Chamonix this year (-:
Were you there also?

No sorry! I hope you had a good time- I'm sure you did! Did you visit the wild wallabies?
Did you have a "belouga" sandwich?
I was there for the season in 94/95 and would still be there if it wasn't so damned expensive!
Seems to have been a few problems there this season though, what with the avalanche and the
fire in the Mont-Blanc tunnel.
Can't wait to go back though! (Might stop by this summer for a wee look).

Hello,
I was there the week after the avalanches and two weeks before the fire. There was also a fire in the centre of Chamonix that burnt out almost a whole block while we were there (the block next to the one with Wild Wallabies).
I would have stayed as well if not for money/work/... I'm definately going back next year.
