UP AND DOWN: Pierra Menta
The Pierra Menta race is just a month or so away - the FA Cup of ski alpinism, if you like. If you want to go and watch, the chairlift opens at 5am. A crowd of 2000 is expected. Spectating is at your own risk of course.

TWO MONTHS TO GO: Diary Dates
With two months of the season still ahead of us, the helpful folk at lesarcsnet.com have come up with a handy calendar of events - click here for details.
One hidden gem is the early morning "First Tracks" excursion with the pisteurs. It does involve getting up early, but the jolly breakfast and opportunity to ski with the experts before the lifts open is well worth it. For one account click here. The next one is this Thursday, 26th February.
Monday sees ski rando coming to the front de neige at Charvet, in the form of an hour-long teams-of-two-relay race. You used to only be able to rent equipment at Christina Sports in 1600, but its popularity seems to be growing somewhat: for example, skis and skins are now available for hire at the shop by the mini market in Arc 1800. For a fine account of ski touring (in Austria) click here.
