Ok now completely, totally and utterly hypothetical situation now, BUT if you won the euromillions this friday, (which none of you will as i am! :lol:) What would you spend the season doing???

On a personal idea i alread have a holiday in Feb 1/2 term to Les Deux Alpes so think i would still go on that but spend the rest of the season in canada. Maybe only two or three resorts!
Think i'd still like to work towards CSIA badges etc as something to do!

So to you lot, what would you do??

I will put tickets on also :D

I would fly in to Santa Fe tomorrow with 3 buddies and visit friends followed by buying something practical like a Range Rover (can't think of a better car to do it in?) and drive North starting with Taos, spend the winter following storms and finish up in Banff in May for the end of the season.

Head to Whistler and by somewhere nice for the summer, spend the next few months skiing Blackcomb glacier and riding the trails in and about the area (avoiding bears and such).

Rinse, repeat :wink:

Well, I would spend the weeks in my new chalet in a Swiss resort somewhere (and commute at the weekends (business class!) to watch my rugby team - such an easy life!)'

If I won I would not change a thing, I would still keep my job, house, still buy off ebay. Like heck, buy a place in Austria like a shot

My mum said she'd invest in a holiday home, when asked why she said incase things went "tits up" (not her phrase) She started telling me how interest rates had dropped too c.1.5%! When i let her know that 1.5% of £50,000,000 was £750,000 she realised that you might just scrap a living of that! :mrgreen:

I think i've now swayed towards staying in europe for the season, hitting resorts that are on my "list". (this is an actual list written on excel over the christmas period! :roll: ) I would then hit US/Canada next season, after some summer skiing in Chile/Argentina/New Zeland!

Spend 49.9 million on wine, women, skiing and general hedonism - and then just squander the rest :twisted:

That's a heavy sum of cash. I'd (it's not going to surprise ANYONE)buy a home in Aschau or Zell. I would buy the Landhaus that I stayed at this October. I'd possibly purchase my own ski resort. If I had any money left, which I probably would. I would move my parents to Maui. I'd also get all of us together and we'd go skiing in __________ (insert cool resort)


Oh yeah I'd also have a private jet. :D

Uh oh, I think I broke'd the lift

Your £50million is going pretty far I'd say... hope you are not looking for a big private jet or a large ski resort :wink:
