Swiss don't charge for carriage of snowsports equipment. Their flights are initially more expensive than EasyJet, but possibly not if you need to take skis/snowboards.

Thanks Ally G


Hi Lindyloulou,
I'm glad you're enjoying checking your days/sleeps off on my list :)

And I'm sorry you can't make the 2013 J2Ski group holiday - maybe the 2014 one?

Contrary to certain rumours, I'm definitely NOT ski-ing with Icy at Christmas :roll:

Here is the sleeps/days left list for today, Monday 26th November. If anyone else wants to go on the list would they please say so, together with the date and destination of their holiday :)

Sleeps till ski time

And, thinking about it, we seem to have wibbled away from the subject of this thread, which is how many sleeps we all have left before we start our ski/snowboard holidays.

Are there any J2Skiers lurking out there who haven't declared how many sleeps they have left - and would like to either be on my list or count their own sleeps independently?

Perhaps OldAndy is referring to the way some of us are great wibblers? I haven't used my title lately, but I am the Queen of Wibble 8)

I'm sure you'll have a great time, and please post up some photos for us :)

Do you want to go on my list?

I've removed Catp and Tinpot from the top of the list because they've got to the snow! In fact, I think Catp is home again now :D

That's a genuine deal. I was wondering why it was so cheap so I phoned Igluski just now. They have one room left for 2 people at that price.

Andi282 where are you? I've found you a really great deal! And it will be gone soon :cry:
chamonix oh dear it that time again.

Mat23,
You can get transfers by bus from Geneva to Tignes with Bensbus.co.uk, Snowbus.co.uk or Altibus.com

It takes around 3 hours or a little longer each way, and the prices are about 100 euros return per person.
