Hi Dobby,

1hr 45min is enough time to visit Amsterdam and still make the next flight.

Is a very well designed airport, essentially one giant terminal (far superior to anything UK has to offer). Given your description of "different terminal" just means you are likely going through a security check again as you are leaving the EU.

Completed.

When writing up remember that the top marks will not come from just the statistical analysis of the result but also from describing the potential flaws and bias in your method of acquiring data e.g. optimism when ranking our skiing ability.

Also make sure you place within a framework such as Porters Five Forces e.g. Whistlers decision to make itself resemble Centre Park suggest that it no longer sees itself as competing solely with other ski resorts.

Will be far more interesting than saying 10 x 30-40 year old guys like bowling and beer with their skiing.

For some reason the resort never impressed me and can't see any of the above changing that. Decent enough skiing but lacks any soul despite being full of friendly people.

Lot of people already rave about it for the biking so guess this will further add to activities and probably great if have kids (Centre Parks Whistler). Again not really what I associate with a ski resort.

Still wouldn't be complaining if there was a major upgrade to the public gym and climbing wall in Cham.

Well there is a months skiing left to be had in a lot of European Resorts. Brother is off to Chamonix on May 16th for 10 days skiing. As for me, recovering from having some metal removed from knee. Looking forward to some late summer mountaineering.

Pretty sweet and looks like tough snow conditions :-)!

Annoying survey as essentially you cannot complete and submit unless you have experience of electric gloves. Hence all your analysis will be biased. There are after all other options; inner gloves, chemical heaters etc.

Wow nobody else there and looks like great snow.

And that is why I support the French system, weeds out those who don't see it as a profession. Whilst the speed test might not be seen as very progressive as it essentially places an upper age limit on becoming a qualified instructor and disqualifies people with disabilities (even top Paralympian is never going to pass) there is some logic to making it a huge commitment to qualify.
