Anyone skiing this winter?

[birdieman]

I'm going in a couple of weeks to France for a week's skiing. As we are a party of 6 we figured we shouldn't hang about booking back in December in case things got booked up. Anyway got a decent enough price but had a look online today and the cost is half what I paid for the exact same holiday! Grrrr.

Must be karma as I used to that in my single days - wait until 2 days before then book for pennies!

What goes around comes around I suppose!

Anyone else hitting the slopes this winter??

Not been for a few years but last time, we booked on Tuesday and flew on Thursday £202 each. Everyone else in the hotel had paid £600+

Off on the 22nd of Jan to Austria for 5 days,

mate of mine has got a place out there, 6 of us going.

Took the wife & kids last year, was fantastic!

Just the lads this time

Nope and not much chance of a summer break if HID can't find a job soon. She found out she missed out after 2nd interviews for a role she would have been ideal for. Its a tough world right now

Damn right, austria or maybe france, not sure. May just do a long weekend in chamonix at end of year.

Not yet, loads of frost lately but no snow. The snow we have had Nov/Dec 08 wasn't deep enough.

At my age the assistance of gravity is important, downhill is easy, x-country is like running.

I wish.

Restarted after a 21 year break, and did Courmeyer and Livigno a couple of times. But what with facing possible redundency in the near future, the 2 year old and another on the way, it'll be a while before we get to go again

If God had meant us to ski, would we not all have size 45 feet??????

steamboat is ace - be sure to have you all racing down the old "sprints, bumps n jumps" course on the front of the mountain.

went to austria over xmas myself - snow was good, but with the exchange rate it was extortionate in resort!
