Just returned from La Plagne.
Even with snow tyres, but no chains, on the untreated climb last night it was interesting to say the least - mostly 2nd gear and with traction control permanently cutting in.
On the straight and flat it might have been OK, but this has 22 hairpins and climbs about 1200M.
The return this morning was ploughed and gritted - thankfully.

We enjoyed an "un-forecasted" thunder storm yesterday evening. I put un-forecasted in inverted commas since it was not forecast when the first clap of thunder was heard. Of course I disconnected from the telephone network (still copper here) and by the time I had reconnected after the storm had abated, lo we were forecast to have a thunderstorm.
