I'm a publican - are you trying to put me out of businesss ? (and it pays for all the skiing !)

Following a drunken discussion at the bar one night 5 of us are leaving Bristol at 3.30am and popping out to Geneva just for the day on 16th Jan to see just how many ski miles we can manage on a sub 24hr round trip.

Been looking to head for Morzine as it's not to far a drive from the airport and we know the area a little but open to other suggestions if anyone has any ? It's a resonably fast group of 4 intermediate skiers and a snowboarder.

Also considered La Clusaz, but we were there between xmas & new year so would rather do something different (plus rather to many drags around when we want to crack on).

Any thoughts folks ?

I'm def interested in the 2014 trip - if i'd been a wee bit more on the ball I'd probably have joined you in 2013, but was already commited to to much in January by the time I realised it was happening.... doh.

Have a great time this year folks and come back with dates and a venue for 2014 asap!

As Felthorpe said, I'm sure we will be discussing the 2014 holiday whilst we're away, and I'll start organizing it once we get back :P

You don't have a web address / company name for the helicopter transfer do you folks ?

Two and a half weeks since I submitted my complaint and refund claim - no response and no refund.

The good news is that when we went through Geneva with Swiss on 30/12 SWISS were putting a purple sticker on everyones ski bag tags to indicate they were to be carried for free.

If searching for a camera, check the minimum operating temperature in the handbook, as I've had the LCD screen on my DSLR freeze and shatter before now!

I have a Gopro Hero - unfortunately i keep leaving it in the hotel room/car/back home.... third trip lucky i hope !

Thanks! I went with an A series, I've got my DSLR if i want to do any serious stuff but I like something compact in my pocket for funstuff.

Cheers
