Your thoughts please. | | | | | Er, really?
What do they do . . . send rangers to ski alongside you and assess your nationality?

To be honest, given the light-handed way the "ten or less" has been
enforced, I think most people are less concerned about this, than they
are about the proposal to introduce Random Breath Tests on the piste.

Blood testing maybe brought into the larger resorts in switzerland.
Whilst stopping people skiing drunk they can determine the origins of the group by the grouping of the platelets. It seems that the swiss have a higher red to white ratio than those from other countries.
They are having some difficulty identifying the germans but usually deliver the report in high german to try and catch them out.

Your thoughts please. | | | | | I think it applies to Pizol exclusively We started in a group of 14 and after some hours of skiing three quarter of the whole group was delegated to the nearest watering hole like ducks following the mysterious rule
and the rest inadvertently was allowed on the slopes in spooky weather conditions cannot remember I was wearing my red and white but came unnoticed.
