Alexander Thomas+FollowFree Skiing in the French Alps?!You heard right—Saint-Colomban-des-Villards in the French Alps is letting you ski for FREE next winter! No lift tickets, no fees, just you and the slopes. The catch? It’s a small, beginner-friendly area, and it’s all because the resort’s been losing money for years. They figured giving away skiing is actually cheaper than selling tickets. Perfect if you want to try skiing without the $$$ commitment! Would you go for it? #Travel #freeskiing #FrenchAlps00Share

With winter break crowds and three ships in port, the on-site garage just can’t keep up—leaving many guests scrambling for offsite parking, shuttle rides, and extra planning. Even with a $20/day offsite option, the hassle of juggling luggage, family, and shuttle schedules is real. If you’re cruising soon, alternate transportation might save you a headache. Has anyone found a smooth solution, or is this just part of the Long Beach cruise experience now? #Travel #LongBeach #CarnivalCruise00Share
