Next season ......

Sadly, I am going to have to do my first "summer" holiday in over 5 years :( I have got to attend a wedding in Malta in August :shock:

However, to make up for it, I am now planning to spend Christmas in the Alps :)

In fact I'm just back from my first beach holiday so the skiing is a distant memory.

So you've done your beach holiday already? Time to go (summer) skiing then!

No self-respecting skier should be taking any more than one beach holiday, surely... 8)

Given the option every trip would be a ski trip, summer and winter. But i have 2x females to consider.
Planned trips are Camping in Devon at the end of may and then camping in The Vendee, France in August.
We like to be a bit frugal in the summer which enables more holidays, we target 5 trips a year, 2 Ski, 2 camping and 1 beach via air.

Next year we have Jan Ski in the first week (not sure where yet) and VT booked for easter. we will be taking a sun holiday at feb half term, prob canaries. I can't face feb half term be ruined by crowds and high prices.

Garbage!!!!
2 beach holidays minimum requirement: couple of weeks end of June when its hot, long evenings, cheap and no kids about, in order to prepare for the long busy summer ahead, and then a week away mid September to recharge after working flat out long hours July to September. And then its time to think about skiing.....

I feel like am skied-out for the season and ready to pack skis but snow keeps coming back. Big snow is expected for the weekend again when all I want is a BBQ with rosé on a sunny terrace. Not a good sign for May, so typical - it gets cold and rainy once the lifts start to close. This is the time of the year when snow in the forecast doesn't bring much excitement...

I hope you're right, VSB, as I've booked some more sliding about again next week :)

In august I will be on ski slopes, chairlifts and hopefully bluebird days. Morzine in the summer is a great place :)

We went to Morzine last summer, absolutely beautiful. Stunning scenery, only downside was the amount of noisy crickets and grasshoppers...I am terrified of them!!!!!!! Would definitely return :mrgreen:

Camping ....at home in Devon most of the summer, bit of cricket and beach thrown in. Then off to Cote D'Argent south of Bordeaux for a month for sun,surf, lots of bass fishing and the odd glass of plonk. Garden with be dead on return as son is a dedicated gardener, not. Never mind, 3 ski trips in planning for next season, one with school, possible join up with J2Ski in Jan and another TBD. Its tough :)
