Mikaela did it ! 102nd World Cup victory, and 9th reindeer.

The men are racing today .... Laura is watching Val's Clément Noël and the four Team GB racers.... Dave Ryding, Laurie Taylor, Billy Major and 20 year old Luca Carrick-Smith who is making is debut on the World Cup stage.

Watch out on the autoroutes, eco friendly toll changes.... the first is 'fine' as you don't take a ticket but still pay as you leave. However some areas you have to pay online, or face a fine...

Don't panic if you are looking forward to your booked trip to St Foy. Although the parent company for the ski lifts and groomers has gone into liquidation, the mayor has assured everyone that the lifts will open as planned on the 12th December. From next June they will work in collaboration with Tignes.

The new Villa Roger bubble is still on schedule, despite an accident where a worker was buried in a trench, before being helicopter to hospital and treated for back injuries.

A base jumper in Utah was unlucky to hit the cliff but lucky that his parachute caught on a rock, suspending him hundreds of feet above the group for a few hours before a helicopter pulled him up and away. Watch part of the rescue here.

World COPD Day.... Chronic obstructive Pulmonary disease.

A miserable, progressive, incurable condition that limits everyday activities, let alone skiing at altitude.
