Hi Jeff. Have been on statins now for 3 months now after triple bypass, with no side effects.When the problem 1st arose my gp put me on another drug not for cholestrol which made me feel really ill,after a visit to the hospital a consultant changed the drug and i had no problems. I would talk to you...

Hi Cloxxki as Ken said in other post Bessans looks a good choice at 1740 mtrs 54 cm snow cover at moment 133 piste, we might decamp their for a week if the Jura does not improve, just checked TGV to Mondane then Alti bus to Bessans 15 euro for bus return very reasonable. Goff

Hi Monty. The conditions are very poor at present some snow might be due around the 15th. The Pre Poncet, Chapele De Bois areas have some tracks open at present and are about 30 min from les Rousses. http://www.espacenordiquejurassien.com/index.htm Goff

Must agree , our descents end up
looking like Bambi on the ice, allways looked like skaters had more control.
The Depot de Vente in Pontarlier has heaps of used gear so we will buy some and give it a whirl, with some lessons.

HI Cloxxki,

The Bois de Ville boucle leads on to Mont Herba then over to Les fourgs or back to La Seigne Biathalon course and liason bac...

Wolves after watching them have a major spat from a overhead gantry at the Juraparc think we would find some where else to be, was truly scarey.Any way saw this Doubs France last week which locals said was unusual
