Do you think beer prices are high in ski resorts........

PS. Skiing is an international language that doesnt have any barriers.

Sorry, I had to go out for a bit and do some work.

Stewart - you mean you really can speak French? I was sure you were using one of those translation sites when you said, in French, that you couldn't see the point, because I don't know what expression they use, but I wouldn't have thought it was the same as the one we use.

It's the ski technical language I'm most stuck on, with French. Like, for example, what is a parallel turn in French?

Edit - I've just found the answer to that one, on the French version of the esf website - it's 'En virages parallèles' (not so hard really!).

Tour nay parha lelllllll

Say it as I have written it, and at the same time hold your hands out as if you were skiing and roll the palms over to the outside as you get to the "lelllllll" bit, and you won't be far off.

Je pense que Tony a bu du vin nouveau!

They were real French people in a french market. We have a farmer's market in our local town every other Friday, and every year just before Christmas, the French come over specially and do a French market.

The other point of view is don't pay up and they will be forced to drop their prices :lol:

Hi,


Came back from BsM a couple of weeks ago and for a "demi" the price ranged from between 2.40euros amd 4.5euros depending on which bar i eventually fell out off....hic!!

For a pitcher of 1664 in Bazoom (about 5 pints worth) from memory was around the 13 - 15 euro mark,so not too bad realy,the ohter ways of keeping the costs down are to drink the "beer pression" (normal draught beer's) or to go to the supermarket and stock up on the plentiful supplies there and have a few before you go out.

I think on the whole to keep costs down on the overall holiday cost is to stay in accommadation that is linked into popular resorts or to stay in the not so well known (or just less glitzy ones as it where),prices can't go to stupid levels or the bars,pubs etc will just start to loose business as has happened here in the UK.

Eat,drink and be Merry :thumbup:
