Certainly wasn't trying to be discrimnatory with flippant "brats" comment but do still stand by my personal preference.

Andy don't worry ... I can send you my Brat for a couple of weeks before you go, just to get you in the mood :lol:

Thanks Wickers - that's why I come on here: aklways someone looking to help out their fellow J2Skier :roll:

You must surely do a piece on "ski beautifully all week with grace, style and no falls - get near an instructor and suddenly become Bambi on ice"

Top stuff BB 8)

It is an intermediates paradise and the more I think about it, the more I'd go back and ski it all again.

Me too - if theyve updated the slow chairs and the singles then its time to go back. probably a late booking though as its not the most snow sure of areas in my experience sadly

I'd certainly be interested for 2014 for me and Mrs O

Much prefer Jan to March as normally have a spring break in May and then "summer" holiday in september/october (sprogless you see) so January is best balance of holidays over 12 month period

As for where: direct flights from Newcastle would be a major plus so served from Geneva for preference (I know its a terrible airport but what can you do).

Definitley prefer a good chalet and pay a little more (this years trip is a little more expensive than my own to VDI but we got a bargain on a very similar style chalet).

As for my last proviso - and this will be V controversial: I'd prefer a "no kids" policy in the chalet. I go on holiday away from half term so that I dont have to put up with brats so turning up to the chalet and finding some that have been taken (illegally) out of school is really galling. This is NOT a comment on the families of anyone on here who I'm sure are all lovely, simply my own preference as the chalet may well not be sole occupancy to J2Ski after all if its a big chalet / smaller group. Most of the TOs now have this as standard policy in many of their chalets and I applaud them for it.

I too have some Bolle Modulators in Vermillon Gun Racing Snake and they have a prescription insert in them. The modulator works well in all but the most extreme light

I bought them from rxsport on the web and they were very good in terms of test pairs to send out etc

I buy all my Oakleys (sunglasses, prescription sunnies, prescription glasses) from there and they are dirt cheap and excellent service - I have NOWT to do with this firm, just good service

less important than sleeps is only 10 more "getties uppies" for work
