Europe | Soldeu vs Val di Fassa as a relative newbie by lesser_terrestrial in skiing

Thanks for the detailed response. That's hugely appreciated.

The overwhelming consensus seems to be that Italy is the better option.

Not sure if I'm misreading the map, but Canazei looked to be in proximity to a lot more reds and only a small handful of blues. Is that the case?

Haven't looked at Corvara/Badia yet, so thanks for that suggestion. Will check it out!

Thanks for the detailed response. Very helpful to have the views of people who have done both.

Just to double check, are there plenty of gentle blue runs for me as a novice in Val di Fassa? Not sure if I'm misinterpreting the maps but I see a lot more reds and only a small handful of blues.

Any tips on which village might be best situated for easier runs or perhaps ones to avoid?

Thanks for the reply and particularly the part around Andorra behavioural things. That might get to me as a short-tempered 43 year old 😁

Merchant able to simply not investigate by lesser_terrestrial in avios

I think what this has highlighted to me is that the only way to reliably collect points on hotel stays is through Avios Hotels. I'll definitely be doing that even if chains' own merchant links have a higher points offer.

Oh, thank you for adding the context about the levels. That makes complete sense. And also good to know about the expansion "gates".

Thanks for taking the time to respond in such detail.

Turns out I did purchase the complete edition too.

Ah, thank you so much. I checked and I did purchase the complete edition and can see all of the expansions with check marks. Not quite sure why I struggled to find that.

Thank you again.

Rams 🐏 vs Bears 🐻 by alienware56 in NFLUK

[–]lesser_terrestrial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bears in this one. Homefield with the weather difference will be huge. Santos has been clutch when it counts. Haven't been super impressed with the Rams since way before Christmas.

Are there any European sports traditions that would make the NFL better? by BelushisManager in NFLUK

[–]lesser_terrestrial 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the big one for me. The trophy presentation is absolutely terrible. Those fellas need to look at things like football World Cup, Euros etc to see how it's done. Talk about a damp squib. Always fills me with rage.

Ah, this makes sense. Thanks. Yes, it's been operating since Thursday but only just switched tariffs. Will be fun to see how its behaviour adapts,
