I'm at the point now where I'm thinking about the people leaving this weekend and staying in our hotel, they'll be all excited, and that's going to be us next week when they're all sad (but I don't like to think past that).

7 sleeeeeeps!

Have fun and maybe we can meet up for a beer one lunch time. Send me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks for that! Will probably decide when I get there, will drop you a pm about meeting for a beer :)

Down to single figures! Eeeee!
(That's 9 sleeps) :)

This is true. Suppose as long as you get the cover you want, basics really, just hope you never need it.

There's so much variety, how do you know you're getting value for money?

Anyone come across anything they swear by and use over and over?

Personally, I wear whatever I like, never worn the same branded pants/jacket.

Seeing all this fluffy stuff is getting my brain working overtime. Despite years of snowboarding off piste, I have gone back to skiing in the last 6 years and my off piste/powder technique is non existent - I'm thinking about having a lesson when I'm in La Plagne in a couple of weeks, can you recommend any particular school?

Ta :)

Hope you had a good week Wickers.

Meanwhile; 16 sleeps for meeeeee!
