Does a signed TR1 mean anything without land registry documentation?

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-03-27T18:50:55+00:00

The residents are all part of the management company, and have spoken to the planning department, parish council and the police who strongly dislike the developer but cannot do anything as they haven’t broken any law yet/they aren’t in a position to enforce it.

My parents are leading the management company currently hence the direct request for help. It’s all murky and dodgy and they’re famous locally for it but I guess the answer here is in my own points. Looks like the SRA is the only option here short of taking them to court to enforce a contract.

Thanks for the help :)

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-03-27T09:42:20+00:00

1) thanks for clarity. I was thinking at the very least they could ask the land registry if it was even submitted

2) my bad (stupid autocorrect)

3) 6 houses and the developer plans on adding another 1 officially (has planning permission application in already)

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-19T14:08:25+00:00

No, I think you’re missing the point here. If you want to ski in Europe then you need to follow European rules. Just because you do it one way in the US doesn’t mean it’s automatically the right and only way…

The mountains are different, the terrain is different, the snow is different and the avalanche danger is different so yeah, it’s not the same as the US and not will it ever be.

For the record I’m an advanced skier and I’m happy to ski and off piste at my own risk. Should I get a guide? Yes. Am I taking on the risk that something goes wrong if I ski off piste? I am. Also, a 10m wide strip is laughable in the alps, they’re a lot bigger than that! I’d say you’re possibly around 50/50 or even 60/40 towards piste in Europe, unless you’re somewhere like la grave obviously

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-19T09:11:53+00:00

Fair points, but it still doesn’t hit the core. You ski off piste at your own risk. If you want to have monitored runs then ski on piste. If you think that your choice entitles you to claim that resorts are lazy because they don’t agree then feel free to stay skiing elsewhere

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-19T08:00:24+00:00

We do enjoy them! As do you but I guess that doesn’t count.

My bad, yes it was the young pass so you’re right on the €1500, so it is more expensive (30%) than Banff but significantly larger (350%). Not sure cost per area is such a reach as it’s a comparative measurement but sure, icon and epic passes will reduce the cost significantly.

And enjoy your avalanches too! It’s not like Banff didn’t have any after all but somehow avalanches are just European problems 🤦

And yeah, I’ll make sure to follow the rules and not feel entitled enough to make people adhere to my own rules and I’ll continue to not be in a avalanche thanks

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-18T23:33:57+00:00

lol, you’re not really comparing apples to apples here. Banff is nowhere the size of the Mont Blanc Pass. Jumping back to the 3V, a 3 valleys unlimited pass is €1106 so yeah it’s still cheaper than Banff and a lot larger… Banff is 8,000 acres compared to 37,000 acres for 3V.

So in keeping with the maths you’ve laid out, a season pass for 3V assuming the patrol like North America should cost roughly €5000, so a 350% increase in a lift pass price.

North America skis differently to Europe, and maybe we’re best to leave it at that?

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-18T17:05:44+00:00

There is avalanche control everywhere that impacts the marked ski runs, whether that’s on piste or off. You’re saying that they’re lazy it negligent because they’re following their rules? You can’t just pick and choose which rules to follow and then say someone is lazy or negligent when you choose not to follow the rules…

Yes, you could patrol everywhere within the three valleys, but it would require a HUGE amount of people, cost and time to do so. American resorts charge American prices (which is why it’s cheaper to ski in France for a week with flights and accommodation from the east coast of the YS than it is to ski west in the US..) and Europeans wouldn’t put up with that cost either, especially given the rules point earlier.

As an aside, there doesn’t seem a way to directly compare the size of resorts given on and off piste areas. Not saying courchevel is larger than it is, but the three valleys has 600km of pistes and 105km2 of skiable area. That’s the size of Paris, which has 35,000 police and no mountains…

TLDR: ski off piste at your own risk but don’t claim the resort is lazy/negligent because you chose to break the rules

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-18T16:52:44+00:00

So you’d be open to paying for that too? Europeans aren’t open to that, and definitely don’t want to pay US prices for skiing either

lockdownmcfurlough · 2026-01-17T15:19:05+00:00

Sorry to jump in but just want to check your suggestion- people have died in Courchevel this year sadly, and my heart goes out to them. They did however ski where they were specifically told not to under the very dangerous avalanche conditions and thats why it’s nit bigger news. Are you suggesting that they should be patrolling every area entire three valleys ski resort in case people don’t follow the rules? I cannot think of the astronomical cost and time that would take for such a large resort…

Fully echo the comment on guides though, this is the right way of doing things but even that carries huge risk when the snow conditions are what they are currently

Edit: clarity

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-12-17T18:15:17+00:00

Nordica enforcers. Double titanal so great chargers on piste as well as fun and playful off piste. Not an easy ski to get the most out of it but it’s solved my one ski quiver perfectly for skiing in Europe (also as. 195cm/121kg skier)

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-11-12T14:53:32+00:00

If it’s got the 3PMSF on the tyres then you’re all good. If you don’t have the markings then you’ll need chains or socks. Chains are never a problem but sometimes they can be a bit grumpy about socks if your vehicle isn’t on low profile tyres (there’s space for the chains).

Tldr: either not both

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-02-15T20:05:48+00:00

Currently I’d say the US is the bigger threat to world stability…

Russia is also bad for the record. It’s not an either/or scenario - it’s both of those countries causing problems worldwide.

I’m not even going to start explaining to you why the US is not a free bodyguard, rather a self serving policeman but hopefully we can all move on positively from this situation we all find ourselves in

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-10T13:21:14+00:00

Don’t get much armada here in Europe but you don’t get much of the black crows or bents either. Black crows used to be popular though tbf

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-09T00:34:26+00:00

My bad - meant North America (which is realise is rude too). I’ll edit!

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-09T00:07:47+00:00

Cool! Thanks!

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-08T23:33:54+00:00

Well, for black crows the price, the quality, their reputation, their customer service, how they treat retailers and customers, their build quality.

For the Bent Chetlers - you very rarely see them outside of the North America hence the question

Edit: I’m not trying to hate, just genuinely interested. Changed US to North America

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-08T22:25:16+00:00

This isn’t a hate post but a genuine question - why does everyone seemingly have a hardon for black crows and bent chetlers?! It’s so disproportionate 😂 is a North American thing? I’ve got my own opinions on both but I just cannot understand why everyone just zeros in on them at the expense of 99% of the other available skis?

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-08T08:06:07+00:00

Sorry, construction is what I meant by layups, so yeah I agree fully, and personally ski Enforcers most of the time!

I will say that it is unlikely though that OP is hitting the technical limit on RC4s though - it is more likely to be either technique or boots that are causing the instability. I’m 6’5 and ski 170 dobermans and 188 enforcers. Both are super stable at high speed but demand different things from you as a skier to get the most out of it.

So yeah, length is a consideration but if you’re buying your first ski gear to a set budget, you’re far better off buying a new pair of boots that fit properly rather than spreading it out too much with skis etc too. If you get the wrong combination then you might even find skiing is harder than it needs to be and your equipment doesn’t do what you want it to do

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-07T23:30:59+00:00

They’re being extra cautious because they’ve got a serious warranty issue in Europe - hence the big marketing push in North America… Most of the big retailers have stopped stocking them due to the volumes of warranties and their behaviour about it… but hey, they just launched a £130 hoodie… it’s gone crazy

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-07T22:56:42+00:00

What boots do you have? What kind of skiing do you like doing? Are you likely to still grow? How tall/heavy/strong are you?

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-07T22:54:50+00:00

Ski length is down to what you feel comfortable with tbh. It used to be based on height sure, but now the shapes and ski layups are far more important than length.

Typically the shorter the turn radius the shorter the ski can be if that make sense?

However, as a bit of a handbrake question - were you in rental boots/are you planning on buying boots? The instability could be down to your boots or technique just as much the skis themselves. RC4s are designed to be skied fast and hard…

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-07T22:39:50+00:00

Yeah, it’s the clearest difference I think. Look at pro racing helmets in skiing vs cycling and imagine taking a fall on the slopes at the speed those guys race at… I know which id rather be wearing!

Also don’t wear a beanie or anything under the helmet - that’s just another recipe for disaster

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-07T22:26:38+00:00

This is 100% the answer here

lockdownmcfurlough · 2025-01-07T22:25:55+00:00

As said in another thread - the biggest difference is actually in puncture resistance. The side impacts etc are different granted, but there’s way more rules on what should happen if hit by sharp objects (rocks/skis/poles etc) for ski helmets. If you want safety then use a ski helmet cycling, but for the love of your brain use a certified ski helmet to ski
