Yay!

Whats on the list? We will decide for you! YOu should know by now that you have no say in it - it all sits with the J2 committee!

Well, top of mine and Mr Nellys list is Val D, however we are being totally selfish here. One of the two that want to come hasn't skiied since 1997, in fact I think she boarded (I was teaching her so she's probably rubbish), so she'll be starting from scratch. She has suggested going to the snow dome for a few lessons which will help her, and there are some great blues in Val D that she could easily get to. Am I selling it yet?

And he's a boarder.

Will report back after the weekend on the final list.

And the other plus point is that we can go by train, and he isn't a fan of flying so hopefully that will sell it to him too.

I'm looking at Manigod
