This has always been my dream: take the rangerover up a skiing slope to the top of the mountain at night. though being aware that this is very illegal, has anyone ever done such a thing? RRS SC Bonatti Grey

Clarkson took a Jaguar X type down a ski slope, racing against a downhill skier in daylight a few years ago.......................... does this count? You should be able to find the film on YouTube somewhere A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

TDv8 HSE - Stornoway Grey with ebony and straight grain walnut wood-a-like interior with towpack, Tasmods. The best car I have ever owned
Now departed - Giverny Green TDv6SE with Aspen and Parchment interior - nearly the best car I have ever owned
Staying - Epsom Green Defender 90 for playing off road

no big deal buddy, you can offroad in 'Val d'isere' on the 'slopes' (summer only of course).....

Offroad, film festival, chess, fishing and petanque
The 21st Annual 4x4 Festival is taking place from 14-22 August. Take your ultimate vehicle for a test drive on the slopes of the Bellevarde, there are 4000 hectares reserved for the event to get a preview of the latest models. Other festivals include a Nature & Environment film festival (12-15 July), a flower market, the French National Chess Championships, a couple of Fishing Competitions, a couple of Village Fetes and the archetypal French Petanque Tournaments. See, told you the summer was rather more chilled!

do a google search "offroad AND val d'isere"
