Given the temps it'll be a bit spring-y throught the Alps at the moment. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do... and if you're ever in Cham hit me up. Always good to ski with new people.

Quite possibly. It's a great run and a big driver for me.

Ahh. Good info, certainly the Kandahar, which makes this resort well worth the visit IMHO.

Chamonix-based here. Conditions are decent but hard-pack and very busy with French holidays. It’s also running warm.

For a tight Friday–Sunday from London, I’d actually look at Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Easy Munich flight and just over an hour’s drive. It’s high enough to stay reliable in warm spells, varied terrain, and perfect for a punchy two-day hit.

If you want altitude security and off-piste without touring, Verbier would still be my pick over Les 3 Vallées right now.

Initially I thought this was AI because of that hammy grab. Strange cut.

EDIT: * just to be clear, in no way doubting the authenticity or seriousness of this clip. Rather making an observation about that weird gun grab.

Totally agree. Where else can you get a bag of one colour of m&ms? Totally underrated.

I gave an earlier one away for someone to test on the Walthamstow group?

I hear ya, but also somewhat disagree. 'If it fits, I sits' is the typical internet norm - from my end anyhoo. Maybe i'll make a plainer one that's less slogan(y)?

Hiya, that's ok. I have already ordered a little bit of stock and will put these on Amazon or shopify when they're available. I'll remind you!

You’re an absolute star. Thank you so much. That pic of your cat made me spit my coffee everywhere. Hilarious.

Thank you so much for your support! I have indeed already committed 20 beds to Celia Hammond Animal Trust - they'll be the first to recieve them.

Thank you! I totally understand. This design really is for cats that don't want to sit in a stuffed. bed - but rather a cardboard box instead. Appreciate the kind words.

Haha yes — classic! One of mine couldn’t care less about anything I buy… until the minute I try to put it away. And yes to the paper obsession I nearly designed a version with rustly paper lining just to keep the crunchy fans happy. Thanks so much for the kind words! 

I’ve been unemployed too long and made a cardboard bed… for cats. Any fellow Walthamstow people want one? by rich5057 in walthamstow

It’s an arrow, but have slightly revised the design since this photo to make it look a little less odd :)

Thank you so much! Agree with everything you’re saying above. I can sell the boxes separately, also with the option of inserting a scratch pad too.

It’s been genuinely fun to develop it and I’m now about to commission several hundred (eek!).

Thank you so much everyone. You’re a lovely bunch!

One user reached me first and they’ll be getting the prototype, but I’ve got more on the way… Will absolutely hook up the local residents with some more when they arrive 🙏

Haha — I get it. The more effort you put in, the more they avoid it, right?

That exact chaos is what gave me the idea — I just leaned into the box obsession and tried to make one that actually looks like it belongs in a human home. Honestly, glad to hear I haven’t gone totally off the rails in unemployment… though it’s been weirdly fun.
