In Finland children who wear helmets get free lift passes. Mind you if I had kids that skiied I would make them wear one.

Soooooo in bed 11.15 asleep at 11.20 equals 5 minutes, giggle, giggle :lol: Sorry Ian could not resist that one. :oops:

Yes I can finally say I am going skiing this year. Well 16 days time. Plus have already booked my summer holiday as well.

Actually this decade has been the best ten years of my life, all thanks to one person.

Just to wish every-one a happy and healthy new year. Have to agree with Tony, a very hyped up event of the year.
My year 2009 has been not a bad one. Had some lovely holidays, health not bad except chickenpox and a broken toe. Have a new job which I love, to be truthful had I stayed in the old one any longer I probably would have had a breakdown, I was that close to it.
We wont be going out to-night just do not fancy the drunken yobs around here, or to pay ridiculous prices to get into pubs or extortionate prices for a mass produced meal, just 'cos its new year.
So we shall celebrate, just the two of us with an 'alternative new year'.

So the question for all you serious skiers is can you really be faffed cooking your own breakfast and dinner after a hard day on the snow?

It looks to me like the kind of places in Austria too book self catering are fantastic, homely farms with cute little aparments tagged on. Does anyone have any experience of this kind of thing. In particular I'm looking for a place in Itter, nr Soll.

Cheers!

We always had holidays, half board in hotels. Until we tried a self catering holiday, loved it so doing it again in 3 weeks time. Its no problem with breakfast and we eat out at night, and usually a soup buffet at lunch on the slopes. No problems. Even if we do cook some evenings it does not feel like the chore it is at home.
