Set number of places, first come first served. 2010/11 season.

Sounds good to me keep me informed, nice to meet snowb4ndit other half & Wickers at the show, dont know where the rest of you where? hope you got the drinks I left over the bar for you all? :evil:

Now then, I hve been this and was gonna suggest it but was too lazy. I do you a deal, if you guys come up with a date then I'll organise accommodation and passes. I don't speak jive but I do speak a little German. Zermatt will be honoured to be aligned with such a website and I'm sure with a little sales from Admin we could negotiate a reasonably affordable few day drinking, I mean sliding.

Tino, I see the outline of a plan, and some J2skiers in key positions 8)

PS....You risk tarnishing your new "serious shredder" image if you focus on the booze )

So, do we go for hotel, apartment, or catered chalet via TO?

An apartment would give some flexibility, for folks who can't be there for a whole week, as would a hotel.

I have a serious image? That's a first ;)

I was thinking some business terms that Admin might help us with and benifit from. The bigger the business the more attractive it may be for them. In which case I would suggest a hotel with affilates. You could go the other direction to a private chalet with much the same effect. No TO to be involved, why use a middleman?

Tino...the middleman(woman) provides the food, cook and cleaner )

We might do better getting hold of a big enough apartment for a week, then folks can make their own way there.
I'm not convinced that we have enough mass (as yet) to pull much of a discount with the Tourist Office, even if Admin was on board. One other factor to consider is if this does gather momentum, it will be logistically challenging. One glance at the pages of Snowheads events will tell you why, if you are in any doubt!

It is a very new image you have....all shiny for this weekend :lol:

Weve only got over a year to organise this so best hurry up :roll:
