J2Ski Holiday 2014

As suggested by AllyG here is a new thread to discuss possible venues for a ski holiday for likeminded individuals for the 2013/14 season.

As we have managed, against the odds (and the negative comments), to get the holiday for the 2012/13 season booked and deposits paid for a good number of us; perhaps we need to start early for the next season.

Many were disappointed by the choice of resort and dates for this first holiday, even though Ally did her very best to accommodate everyone who showed an interest.

We are never all going to agree on one place or time but at least we can discuss it (like adults hopefully) and come to a general consensus. I hope I am giving you all plenty of notice here?

Over to you guys.......

I vote March

Snapzzz - did you think my SurveyMonkey was a good idea, or would you rather we tried to pick a date and a resort for the 2014 group J2Ski holiday some other way?

The only criticism I have for that survey is that it was anonymous. I would like to find another one where people have to put down their names.

It's all very difficult because we all have different preferences. I mean, if I'm picking a holiday for myself I usually go for the cheapest accommodation I can find in a resort with a large well connected ski area. And I don't care much what it looks like.

What surprised me most about the results of the survey I did was that people picked the more expensive accommodation price band

Which was why I chose such a lovely chalet in Tignes. I could have found one much cheaper, but not nearly so nice.

Tignes. January.

Total waste of time this thread.

Morzine, August

Those who think this thread is a joke, or who just wish to post flippant remarks thinking they are being funny............ hahahaha

you are politely invited to not bother, as the rest of us will discuss where we want to go and when and book accordingly.

How can you decide what you are doing in 2 years time?!

Just think how hard it was for Ally getting opinion for 9-6 months out....2 years out you are extremely unlikely to get a solution.

Who said my remark was flippant? I was serious

I think a reality check is needed

Ally got so much criticism for trying to get some information out of people about where they might like to go for 2013 and when she did make a decision, she was criticised for that too.

There are other website groups who plan well in advance, and I am talking at least 18 months. There is no harm in trying to get some suggestions and then making a decision later this year, if there is a consensus. If we leave it until we get back in January 2013, there will be people complaining that they have already booked for the next season and would have liked to have known more in advance.

I know you cannot please everyone but it would be nice to get some suggestions and positive feedback, rather than all the negative stuff that has flown about.

If you haven't got anything nice to say then perhaps it is better to say nothing.

Nuff said.
