Hi Skisuit.

I used bens bus this past january, and they were great. I think we paid about £35 each for the transfer to Alpe d`huez, bus was on time both ways, and no problems at all. The transfer is only about 1 hour 30, but i`d always rather leave it to the professionals!

Glad to see you're still around.

Perhaps you could reply to my e-mail of yesterday (today would be good), and refrain from posting until you've addressed the issue. :evil:

Ta,

Excuse me.....could you keep anything posted in this topic relevant please! )

Thats it then, my mind is made up! One 3 hour private lesson on the 2nd day.

Nothing like getting organised in advance, although as we don`t go until the end of Jan 2009, this maybe a bit OTT :oops:

Just been looking up ski schools in Vallandry, and new generation came up. i`m sure i`ve heard decent things about this company before. has anyone had any experiences of having lessons with these? from what i can see from the site, i would be classed as a level 5 skier. Looking to book, but just after any feedback from anyone.......

Great, thanks for the answer. that`s really what i thought. i`ll try and sort something out in the UK before i go.

I class myself as a pretty compitent skiier, far from great, but can safely ski down Reds. One thing i noticed this year (first time skiing after a 6 year break) is i seem to have a very strange technique, that makes skiing more tiring! I had one weeks lessons 10 years ago, and have just skied my own way since. Will it be worth having maybe a day or 2 of lessons in 2009 to try to improve my technique at all?

Sorry for the basic question :oops:, but if the more knowledgeable skiers about don`t think it would be worthwhile, id hate to lose good piste time!

Thanks caron,

That`s basically what i thought it would be like. I`ve gone ahead and booked the chalet, as a couple of bars is fine for us, we`re normally pretty knackered after a full days skiing anyway. I don`t suppose you know how well Vallandry is linked to the main runs in les arcs do you? the piste maps make it look relativly simple, but from experience, i know these can be missleading!!

Thanks for the replies everyone. We will be making our own apres ski most of the time, but i just wanted to make sure there is the odd bar within walking distance for a change of scenery! generally, we only have 1 or 2 good nights out in the week.

Skiing is the main thing, but i`m happy with the location of the chalet and the runs, as there seems to be plenty to suit every skiier in our group.

pleasing 11 different people is a nightmare!
