[Clouds_mate]

Take it, it wasnt your own gear or was it?

First year was rented, boots board and bindings.

[barrett]

organising uni trip this year to Flaine in France: www.outgoing.co.uk/ski/trip/1608 got a great deal 529 quid all inc (exc alcohol (unfortunatley))

Going 26th dec to 4th Jan

Want another trip maybe in feb or around then. Not sure where yet, hear bulgeria is cheap as chips but not sure what the skiing would be like!

[Peejous]

Yeah Mike, the dude in the travel agents was telling us Bulgaria is supposed to be really cheap / good.

But I can just picture the holiday turning into a film called "Hostel 3"

[a17vts]

I went to Andorra for 4 years running and loved it every year although the snow got worse and worse every year IMO. Not been for 2 years now as I don't have the spare cash to spend on a holiday out there.

How much did it cost you and where you staying? I have only ever stayed in Princes' Parc (something like that). Really nice hotel IMO.

[Clouds_mate]

Guy i work with went to Bulgeria this year and is going next year. By the sounds of it the areas dont seem that big at all.

His mates dad has an house out there so they go proper cheap and stay in a local village at the bottom of the mountains.

[Luke]

Nothing planned at the minute.

Trying to get a week away in the sun, week in Scotland camping with Mike and couple of trips to Germany I think.

Mrs went to Andorra this year too. Proper bad snow fall again.

[Peejous]

Everything paid for it cost me just under a grand.
Thats a HB hotel
2 of us sharing
Ski and boots & board and boots
Lift passes
Insurance

Mrs went to Andorra this year too. Proper bad snow fall again.

It'll be alright in January right?

EDIT: Im going to Arinsal or something like that.

[Pat_Vts]

me is turkey in july for 2weeks:D maramis with mates

going to be good

just a long wait...(want to try snowboarding sometime lol lucky bastard peej)

[Clouds_mate]

Man you lot get good deals lol.

Usually pay hotel and transfers for £500. Then lift passes ontop. (usually £100-150)

[a17vts]

£1000 for both of you? Thats not so bad IMO.

Arinsal is the same place I stayed at IIRC. I have always been over the new year and I've always had snow, so I'm sure you will be fine. I'm very jealous!

[Marshy]

June - 2 weeks in Egypt, should be good :D

[barrett]

will have a look into bulgeria then

small resorts suck a bit, as i'm not too shabby on skis so cover alot of ground fast.

been to mayerhoffen 2 x on uni trip which rocked (just looking through photos, but they are all of pissed people in the evening or people falling over or spewing on the slopes so nothing that great to post)! Its a small resort but it has a few good runs.

Did you do Le Face when you where in Tignes leck? Its over on the val d'sere side.

Steep as fook but a good run. (its like black double diamond or something)

[Peejous]

Man you lot get good deals lol.

Usually pay hotel and transfers for £500. Then lift passes ontop. (usually £100-150)

Yeah because it was a late deal it was dirt cheap.

Took off things as well like:
Extra hand luggage (for board / skiis) £15 each
Meal on plane £15
Seats together £10 (lol if you get there early enough you get seats together anyway)

That alone is like £45

Got a break down of the whole thing at home.

Was UBER cheap.

[barrett]

sounds like a good deal pee (not as good as my price for this trip mind! :wink: )

the dates your going are slightly cheaper as its a bad week for alot of people as they have to be in work or they took time off to go skiing over xmas and new year and kids back in school etc.

great week to be in resort as its not too busy!

[Robb]

Does this work haha:

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a336/DannyBoyLeckie/11%20Holidays/03%20Les%20Gets%202007/S6300131.jpg

[a17vts]

I love snow!

A bit of advice steer clear of yellow snow!

[Ferg]

You're taking your Xbox right?

[Clouds_mate]

Extra lugage thing is a joke lol.

We paid like £200 extra for like 10 boards be packed. Then on the return flight they wouldnt accept it and wanted to charge £500 for the weight of them haha.

We had hunt down a rep to sort it all out for us lol.

Barrett - i couldnt tell you. Area was massive. Loved Tignes. wasnt val d'sere on the other sky pass (more expensive) is so yeh we did but the floor over that side wasnt as good. Near the massive snow park?

[Peejous]

the dates your going are slightly cheaper as its a bad week for alot of people as they have to be in work or they took time off to go skiing over xmas and new year and kids back in school etc.

Yeah that why we went, all about the Low Season, plus missus has got uni so have to watch the times we go etc with her exams and what-not.

Does this work haha:

Lol who was that? You?

Leck, i'd hate to get there and see no snow, I think i'd actually cry.

[barrett]

haha love the jump attempt!!

Think i have a couple of videos of me doing a few jumps, not that exciting though really, just get air, land, ski

[saxodan]

how much did it set you back?
i minght go with the uni in the new year, they run a trip every year, france this year i think

Leck, i'd hate to get there and see no snow, I think i'd actually cry.

Yeh was bad lol. Got there and everyone was 'erm oh dear' i had no idea what to expect.

Stood on balcony having a cig in my tshirt 'isnt really cold isit' - 'yeh thats the worrying thing danny'

haha.

Anyway had a massive fall and up over the top it was fine, expeically with the snow machines.

merribel (corchavale, and val torens) is a great resort also, bit nicer and more scenic than tignes.

not sure if it was on an extra / extended pass, probably was. we had full pass and went over there, was alot icer on that side though so prob wasnt good snow when you where there too. Can't remember the snow park!

Hopeing to be a little less hung over every day this year as the last 2 years in mayerhoffen where outrageous... felt awful for about 2 weeks following them and was ill etc... dont think my immune system can take 10 days binge drinking any more!

[barrett]

how much did it set you back?
i minght go with the uni in the new year, they run a trip every year, france this year i think

would recommend the uni trips as they are great value, and you get to meet a load of new people etc... plus plenty of your females!

[Clouds_mate]

In tignes, first night there i had a fire cracker explode on my neck in the pub. Was England v France rugby haha. Proper carnage.

Everyone had goggles marks. so i was like 'fuck that i wont wear goggles or a hat' que 2 days in bed with sunstroke hahahaha. dead

[a17vts]

I was mad the on my last year when I went. Turned up and there was no snow what so ever only at the top but it was shit, there isn't much to do during the day apart from drink!

The first year I went it was the best snow ever and the weather wa perfect. Every night is snowed & during the day is was blue skys.

[barrett]

anyone getting any new gear this year?

need to get myself some boots sorted from santa

want to headphones that fit my helmet

could be tempted by more but have no cash so will see what happens!

[Peejous]

The hotel im at is the 5th one down in the list (http://www.thomascook.com/search/holiday/searchResults.jsp?_requestid=193914)
Aparthotel Crest

just read a few reviews on it on trip advisor. Not too bad, but afterall you get what you pay for and for about £200 for the both of us im not too bothered lol.

[saxodan]

[Clouds_mate]

http://www.extremepie.com/images/products/54380.jpg

[Robb]

Theres this proper smart snowboard shop just opened in my town, quite big with lots of stuff. Feel sorry for them really as its a good shop and they must get zero customers...

[Peejous]

Mike are you selling any of your stuff?

Want my own cheap board lol

[barrett]

not selling anything off.

only stuff spare i have are things like goggles, old thermals, etc

use old sallopets when cleaning the car. old jacket is always good to have for when going to things like paintballing etc so wont sell that

and i'm a skier so no boards either

should be getting a discount sorted with snow and rock and ellis bringham, but they tend to be dear too.

[Jazz]

Sounds like fun Peej... never been snowboarding, but looks immense.

My mum, dad and younger brothers are going for a month to Miami Florida at the end of novemeber to come back xmas day, one month of sunshine and Daytona Beach, I can't get the time off work so I can't join them. Totally gutted :n:

[Graeme]
