I am 'flying solo" in the van until Tina joins me on the 29th - she is still working but not for much longer...........
Jan 17th
After a one hour delay on the tunnel I headed for Joinville and an aire by the canal. Bit parky overnight ( -10 C ) but the van was snug. Next morning the canal was almost frozen over.
Jan 18th & 19th
Next was the drive to Les Rousses in the Jura mountains a place we have visited in the summer. The snow increased as I approached the Jura but the roads were clear. Arriving at the parking by the chairlift I saw it was completely covered - no probs as the tyres had lots of grip. I parked up alongside 2 other vans and got settled in for the night.

lots of snow!
quite snowy
The skiing was good but I didn't buy a pass that allowed me to ski over into Switzerland as the visibility up high was poor. I had a 4am alarm call as the snow plough whizzed around clearing the car park. It cleared all around the van to a distance of about 150mm away! Precision driving.
Jan 20th
Packed up and drove over into Switzerland and onto Bourg St Maurice. It was snowing when i left but the roads were clear so no problems.
