Skiing - Whistler
Apres ski - St Anton

But I do have to agree with Ian :shock: that a lot depends on the people I ski with.

For me, the cost is no less, if not more, than booking a package with flights included.
18 hours by bus? No thanks. Seriously uncomfortable, even the first class seats some services offer. Leaving home and arriving in resort, even if flying from LGW for me takes less than 12 hours: 3 hour drive max, 2 hours at airport, 2 hour flight, 1 hour wait, 2 hour transfer. Knock off 1.5 hours if flying from Luton or Stansted. And with the coach you still have to drive to the pick up points.
Like I said, I am sure it has its market place, but for me its a non starter.

More comfy than the plane? Surely you have to be kidding......?

I went on the snowcoach last year, we actually got 8 days skiing. No strict baggage allowance, no cost for skis. It took five hours longer than flying. My husband hated it, he was uncomfortable because he is tall and has long legs and he just cannot get to sleep on a coach. I didn't mind I'm short and was able to sleep all the way there. We also have the advantage of living in London and the coach stopped literally across the road from our house.

I prefer to fly but if having to suffer the coach means the difference between going on a skiing holiday or not then I will do it.

Altibus timetable usually has a 10.45 bus which would have been perfect but the timetable jumps from 7.45 to 12.15 on that day. Just my luck! We will be having a very long coffee somewhere I suspect and that will be very frustrating knowing that skiing could be half an hour away! :roll:

When I was in Bulgaria my skis shone like diamonds compared to the hundreds of battered old hire skis that were around. I did not let them out of my sight!

In other resorts I have not not felt the need to be so cautious but I do usually try to put them where I can see them, and if that's not possible we split them.
