A little tip from me about Oakley sunglasses, if you visit this site:
http://www.oakley-vault.co.uk/?gclid=CMCbuJyU254CFUoB4wodj3h4JA
(Don't really know if that's considered advertising - my apologies if so)
That site offers a wide range of Oakley goods for discount prices.
I got myself a pair of Oakley Half-Jackets (fire irridium lenses) for £80 in an outlet shop in York.. Then when I got home, checked the price of them on that website and what d'ya know.. £70!
Worth checking it out :)

Pretty lucky that time eh! Great stuff.
Skiing in America and Canada are goals of mine I wish to achieve but not until a later time.. For one I can't powder ski well enough to take advantage of the areas they offer and two, I don't have that kind of money! Student life and all that.
Very nice appartment considering the price you did pay, like you said!

For the last 2 years (all the times i've been skiing) we've done DIY without really looking for package holidays.. however, I seen an advertisement in a newspaper not so long ago 'Ski Italy, transfers, flights, accomodation for £429' or so it was.. didn't sound too bad, but of course i didn't look any further into it.
Still, I cannot wait until we're booked up so then it becomes official. Not long before you get going, hope you have a great time!

Excellent. I was in ADH at the beginning of the year, January.. was epic. Loved every minute of it :D
I'm sure you'll have a great time.
Happy skiing :D

Hey people, just tryin to get a little convo on who'se going where and when? :)

I've yet to book up with some of my friends, but we're looking to get away in January - a DIY holiday :)

Anybody else doing some DIY this season?

Enjoy!

You're off to Italy next week? :O There's snow?! Where in Italy you headed?

But anyway, yeah - So long as the allowed ski bagage weight is within the limits, they won't mind what's inside the bag.

Ohh that sounds pretty good actually!
I hope your daughter has a great time.

I can parallel turn on red and black slopes so that isn't a problem and overall i've had more than 4 weeks skiing experience so that's all good.

Thank you for the info :)

Excellent :) Thanks for your reply.

Lessons for skiing powder? Anybody had experience of this and can tell me what it's like to learn, rough estimate of prices or so? :)
