Very sad to say one of my favorite places to ski has become a bit of a joke. At the moment the lift to the top of Grand Montets is shut for at least 2 years but probably 3, Bochard lift is shut now for the second week running and the information flow to skiers is awful. A great shame that a wonderful area is being ruined by real mismanagement.
