Ally, great job....fantastic effort, and I hope it all comes together...well done!

Thanks Randyrat, and I'm really sorry about hi-jacking your thread for a few pages whilst we discussed printing J2Ski T-shirts :oops:

We've now got a very healthy 16 people interested in going on this trip (including me, Tony).

Tignes has caught up with Chamonix, January has almost caught up with March (only one vote less), catered chalets are one ahead of hotels, flying is still top, so far we don't have any beginners, and people do seem to be willing to share accommodation either with their own friends or J2Skiers rather than pay the solo supplement, and half of us will need to hire equipment.

My personal preference would be for Tignes and January, because I have less work in January and I could go on the direct train very easily from London to Bourg-St-Maurice and then get the bus (15 euros return) and 1 hour to Tignes. Or, if there were several of us, I could get a taxi which would be much quicker. Plus, January is generally cheaper than March.

But Chamonix is much closer to Geneva which would be better for flights. The only bad thing I've read about Chamonix so
far is that it doesn't have chalets. Tignes has loads (as well as hotels and self-catering).

I think I'll post the link back up and let this run a while longer. So, if you're interested in coming and you haven't done it yet, would you please complete the survey.

Thanks everyone :D

Not something I can consider so far in advance, we are somewhat late deciders!
But good luck.

Thanks Dids :D

If where we're going, and when, suits you I suppose you could always come as well even if you're a late booker. You might just have to stay in your own accommodation, and you wouldn't get the group discount. But we could all still meet up in the resort :D

I really hope enough people will sign up, and this will end up being a GO!!! :)

Thanks Catp :D

And now we're on a new page I'd better put the link back up:

If anyone else is interested in going on a group J2Ski holiday for the 2012/2013 season would they please complete this survey to help us decide where to go etc.

Thanks Lizzie - the first question is whether you want to go in school holidays or not - but only one person so far has said yes to this, so I reckon that means this trip will NOT be taking place in school holidays.

Sorry - but you can always try voting anyway, and if we have a pile of teachers etc. vote, it might swing the other way.

Catp - I know how many people have voted because the Monkey tells me that as well :D

catp wrote:OK, I was thinking to go ahead and enter my choices in the survey: but what do we pick for questions on which we have no preference? (select all the available, or just pick one at random?)

Catp,
Just select all the available choices if you have no preference - because the very clever Monkey adds up all the selections for me :D

Initially I just posted up the survey for people to comment on, and then I was going to improve it, and finally get people to enter their choices. But several people made selections and I didn't want them to have to do it all over again.

As I said before, I think once we've received ten responses we can move on to a more detailed survey, using the information gained from the first one.

Thanks,

Ally
