My god it is cold.
Started by User in Snow Forecasts and Snow Reports, 18 Replies
I think over recent years i have been spoiled with the weather on my ski hols, never really below -5 and lots of sunshine.

Tonight i arrived in Flaine and it is VERY cold. we have just been out to do a bit of shopping and grab a take away pizza and it is -22. My lungs are on fire.....i think.
I elected to leave some clothing at home as i never wore it on past trips,such as, base layer leggings and thicker fleeces.....something made me grab them virtually on the way out the door.

Shes a lovely lady, in every sense of the word. Bumped into her, literally, at the ski show. Shes so genuinely nice.

Mind you, her idea of fitness is probably poles apart from mine.

Is she going to post on the forum as well? )

I'm not that sort


typo there tony?
Should have read

"she's not that sort" :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Chatel Part 1

Has anybody heard of the ESI if you have or have not don't use them, had some trouble in Chatel booking "Bronze" lessons for Little W with the ESF so I dumped them in Favour of this company ESI who responded to my Email within 45 mins so all good ready to go. Turn up at their offices in Chatel to be told that they have no bronze lessons available, they did offer us a not particularly fantastic deal for some private lessons but I told them to poke it as they could have emailed before I took the bother to trample all over chatel to find their office, great customer service , I think not.
So across the road was the good old ESF so booked Little W into four one and half hour private lessons with them ... much to Mrs W enjoyment Paul turned up on Monday morning not quite as good looking as me but a tad younger .... Mrs W thought he was a dish, fickle Women.
So Little W spent her lessons with Paul half technical and half off-piste, she skied Blacks, moguls and off-piste and sailed through her Bronze badge.
The cost of all this amounted to €210 .... I suppose it is money well spent when you see your kids develop.
But when are these companies gonna realise that they cannot treat their customers this way ..... so use the ESI at your peril.



Bugger.....Just booked little miss snapzzz in for 4 1hr private lessons

Well there is the problem, british brands are always going to attract a premium and i am sure they stick a bit more on because some gullible brit will pay it just so they can say they found walkers crisps abroad.
