"money doesn't really come into the equation for us" and "rather than slum it with the paupers" anyone that will quite happily pay 8-9 euros a pint in france compared to 3-4 euros in austria because it must be better because it costs more is exactly the type of person who in my opinion deserves to get ripped off skiing in france...either you've got more money than sense or a rather high opinion of yourself! Get a grip and go to Austria, in my opinion a skiing holiday is better because of all the factors together, better apres, food is just as good as france, you're not ripped off on the mountain, the people are so friendly and the rich arrogant t0$$"*s stay in france...on 2nd thoughts...stay in france :)

Freezy: first and foremost, well said sir, and absolutely on the mark. I do detect our original posting friend was attempting to stoke something up with his comments, but people like him are welcome to their lift queues, 25 euro lunch platters, lack of tress and 9 euro beers in some pompous Russian infested pretentious bar......or something like that anyway ;-)

Secondly, welcome back dude.

Only just seen this, thanks Tony. Dipping in now and then :)

Freezy you were going along so swimmingly until you had a shoot yourself in the foot moment of comparing French food to Austrian …..all downhill from that point. -)

Not where we were drinking it wasn't. You didn't venture out into town where it was a lot cheaper, 3 euros a pint at happy hour ;-)

What I do remember is we all went out together and the bar was called Scotty's …. So I don't know where you get that I did not venture into town from !!! :shock:

But then again guy's if you go to that type of resort they are very professional at emptying your wallet, There are plenty of very pleasent resorts in France that don't empty your wallet too much and they also have some excellent skiing …..
