..... I'm a J2SKI addict. We are a group of 7 adult and 8 children going to Alpe d'Huez on Sun 10th Jan. I hope to meet a few other J2ski'ers whilst there. I've told my husband this, he is happy with this and will accompany me. But how do I tell my friends we are off to a pub to meet some strangers we met on the internet? They are either going to laugh at me or just quietly think I'm mad. Should Mr HB and I sneak down the pub on our own or is there a way of explaining to friends I spent the whole summer checking for snow flakes that were not going to arrive until autumn?

Clairehb0, I wouldnt worry about telling your friends.
You are in an AI hotel so we will come to you and invade your party with the madness. :lol:

When I recover from last night and can get my head together again, I'll PM you and Tony to arrange meeting up on the Tuesday. :-)

I say we all 'accidentally' end up in the same place at the same time and make out that it's all happened purely by chance!

:shock: But if you are all wearing big red carnations to identify each other, your friends might get suspicious :twisted:

I met Ellistine in Mayrhofen, an arranged meet for a beer. It was my first ever "internet meet" and I have to say I was hoping he would not turn out to be some kind of nerd or wiredo.....but I also thought he may be having the same thoughts about meeting me!
We went to meet them, and had a good laugh for the rest of that week, and have subsequently even been to St Anton with them for a week, and he and his Mrs are now classed as good friends of ours.
I admit it does sound a little odd telling your friends, and Mrs H was particularly dubious about coming along. At the end of the day, if you meet for a beer, its an opportunity to share skiing experiences with a few more friendly and interested people. If your friends dont fancy meeting up, thats fine, their loss :wink:
As for meeting up, I would suggest a central bar straight off the slopes would be ideal, any day. Dont forget Andy Hull and his gang might be keen too!!! Stewart Dowling is your man to speak to about meeting up, he is the party animal of the group. Some of our group might not be too keen as they view internet forums "suspiciously" too but if it involves having a couple of beers, I am sure they'd come along. 4.30 - 5pm somewhere would probably be ideal. I believe SnowBandit is heading out there just before us so she might be able to find a happy hour bar right off the slopes.

Well I will confess to meeting my Hubby on the internet. Something that if a friend or daughter of mine did I would not be best pleased. But 10 years down the line turns out to be the best thing I ever did. I did take all the safety things to heart, meet in mutual, public space, informed people where I was etc. :oops:

I certainly am, I will be arriving on the 7th and will do that no problem, if you pm me your phone numbers I will send you a text with bar name and location. I will be leaving on the 11th so we can only meet for beers on either the 9th or 10th, I guess the 10th will be best for those of you arriving on the 9th.
I have only four days now to rest my legs after my week in LM that finished yesterday! :lol:
