Based on that, why was January the chosen month when March was a winner? :roll:

I would have gone in March :(

The answer may cause distress :roll:

Thanks very much Far Queue, that's great :D :D :D

If you look at the survey results you can see that 17 people very kindly completed it for me. And if you look at the question about how many people they would bring with them on the ski holiday it adds up to a total of 40 people (9X1) + (2X2) etc. Assuming none of those people in the groups were other J2Skiers who also completed the survey, it means that there was potentially a group of 40 people interested in coming on a J2Ski group holiday, as counted by the survey.

You can see that Tignes was the most popular resort, and March the most popular month. I deleted the other resorts towards the end of the survey because it was clearly a contest between Tignes and Chamonix, and likewise for the other months as January and March were the clear leaders.

However, when I asked people to send me a private message if they were interested in coming, there was only one person who couldn't come in January but several who couldn't come in March. So I picked January as the month to go.

I changed my stupid first question about whether you wanted to go on a J2Ski holiday (because the survey was only for people who did want to go on one) after some people had already responded to it. I replaced this question with the one about whether you would be willing to share accommodation, so there were 6 people who technically 'skipped' this question (because it wasn't there when they did the survey).

And then, on the basis of the survey results and the pm's I received, I started looking at catered chalet accommodation in Tignes for January (since the catered chalet option was the most popular according to the survey).

As I said yesterday, I have now selected a chalet and I am looking at either 13th or 20th January in this chalet. The first 2 weeks in January were no good because this chalet is already booked.

I am still waiting for a pm back before deciding which date to go for.

But if anyone else now feels they'd like to come would they please let me know their preference for the date, either here on this thread or by pm.

Thanks,

Ally

Icy,
I'm afraid the answer to that is very simple. It's because you didn't tell me you wanted to come, and could only manage March and not January!

Sorry.

However, I'm not sure whether it's going to be January or March. According to the survey results March is marginally more popular, but according to the pm's I've received more people want to go in January.

So - if you are interested in coming would you please pm me and say whether you'd rather go in January or March (unless you've done so already of course).

I think I will hold the date open for another day and go by the messages I get rather than the survey. At the moment I am looking at a week in the second half of January.

I've just trawled through this thread to find exactly what I said about the January/March issue (page 18 if you want to check).

If people don't tell me they want to come, how am I supposed to know? I'm not psychic :roll:

Oh no !!!!!

Ally - I had you down as omniscient, omnipresent, omnipowerful etc etc

And had just decided to go with January to avoid Icy and give everyone a break.

So disapointed :cry:

Apologies.
I'm leaving this alone. I was actually genuinely interested to see developments, but I can see its doing no good.

Just going to jump in here in support of Ally....I'm not sure why forum members who are not interested in going are having a snipe...if you aren't interested, give Ally a break and keep your comments to yourself. Too many people seem far too quick to knock someone who is obviously going out of their way to achieve something, with nothing to gain personally.
If you've got something useful to say, say it, but if you haven't , button it and let Ally get on.

:evil:
