Hi Dids :D

You mean you managed to read it as well?

How extraordinary - it's clearly not safe to post anything up here, even for 30 seconds :lol:

Thanks Icy, but Andy wouldn't have still been able to read it though, would he, after I'd deleted it?

(You've got me really worried now ... )

I'm surprised you managed to read it Andy, it was only there for about 30 seconds :D

One of the things I don't like about hotels is that they charge you for every cup of tea you have. I've only stayed in one chalet, but you could drink tea all day long if you wanted to, for free. And I drink an enormous amount of tea in a day, and it's surprising how the bill mounts up in a hotel. Of course, there may well be some hotels that offer free tea all day long, but not one that I've stayed in!

Does anyone else want to go on the list of those potentially interested in coming with us?

I need to get back to work on reducing the size of the resort list to a manageable shortlist of resorts and then pick a date.

Thanks for your input Tony :D

Is there any particular reason for your choice?

Any help with trimming down the list of resorts to a more manageable number is very gratefully received, especially if it gives us new information, and most particularly if those posting have actually been to any of these resorts :D

Out of those resorts/ski areas on the list I have only been to the 3 Valleys myself - oh, I forgot I've also been to Sauze d'Ouix but it hardly counts because I was only eight years old at the time!

This is a quick summary of the situation at the moment:

Ian W - wants January or maybe March
Nelly - can't do January but OK for Feb and March
Me - I'm not too sure whether I can manage March or not
Snapzzz - prefers last week in Jan or early Feb but could probably manage Jan, Feb or March (as long as we hurry up and organize it before he books his family holidays)
Icy - wants March
Tony H - Thinks it's too early to consider 2014
Old Andy - said he'd love to come if he could manage it
Bandit - possibly might be considering it - I don't really know
Dids - would like to come 'one day'
Old Boarder - wants Feb or March
Felthorpe - doesn't seem to mind which month
Daved - wants last 2 weeks of Jan or 1st week of Feb
Far Queue - wants January or March
Bedrock Barney + 1 - wants late Feb or early March
Tonypants - not March
Joe Colin - wants January or February
Brooksy - doesn't want school holidays and prefers the cheaper holiday dates if possible
Randyrat - has a group of 4 people, and prefers the last week in January and somewhere not too expensive.
Catp - is interested in coming and hasn't got any preferences for the date
Billip 1 - is fairly flexible on dates

Have I left anyone out, or accidentally included anyone I shouldn't have?

OK, so now we're all in agreement I'll book the group into double beds in Selva :wink:
Icy,
I'm re-posting these photos so that your goat can see what a great place it is (in case she hasn't been there already).

AllyG wrote:Here are some photos taken around Tignes, and Les Brevieres during my 3 day ski holiday at the end of April 2012, which appeared earlier in this thread (for those who missed them the first time around). And I've also included a few maps of Tignes.

The photos expand if you click on them.

However, I would like to make it quite clear that the photos of the vodka shots and dancing on the table at the underground bar in Les Brevieres were nothing to do with me :oops: My daughter very kindly contributed some of her photos from her uni ski trip in December 2011.
