For those flying out this weekend....

I really hope that the holiday makes up for it and they're reunited with luggage and, more importantly, new skis as soon as possible.
keep us informed.

Tony and Mrs Tony had brand new skis with them. I hope all their luggage arrives! This is the 1st outing for the Neo's!

Ouch that's really bad, they will be worried!! Good luck Tony!!!

I just found out that my friend is still stuck at the uk airport, has been put in a hotel last night and now has been promoised that the plane will leave today @ 4.00pm but rerouted to grenoble!

Doesn't look good out there!

I hope they hire some skis while they are waiting for their own to turn up, unlike whoever it was who kept waiting for their missing baggage and lost several days of ski-ing.

If they hire the top quality skis they should be okay, and it will be interesting to hear what Tony thinks of them, compared with his own. I really hope the missing skis do turn up though, it would be awful if they were permanently lost.

I don't know what they can do about the rest of their clothes though, other than buy more. I don't suppose they hire out ski jackets and salopettes (let alone underwear and shirts etc.!), and I shouldn't think Tony was wearing his ski jacket on the journey because he doesn't approve of doing that.

You can hire out all ski wear - jackets, sallos, gloves etc................but the underwear they will need to buy!!! )

Most insurance policies will allow purchases of essential kit if your bags are delayed. That could well include ski clobber.

Well,
Let's hope they have shops in Alpe d'Huez that sell underwear then :D

I don't remember any shops like that in Val Thorens. They were all selling touristy souvenir stuff like clocks and plates or else ski gear.

Ally

I couldn't think of anything worse. I hope everyone makes it safely and manages to enjoy some skiing.

We are going by train and even though the service has been disrupted the Disney and Ski services are still running, lets hope it stays that way!

Chin up everyone.

Ally, Do you know it's funny, I was thinking the same thing. I've never seen any underwear shops in any of the resorts I've been to...........but there must be :lol: :lol:
