Shawan :D :D :D Your manager did a good un on us there by the way, the lad couldnt kick a ball straight or trap a bag of sand. As for Howe hes doing fine and settled in ok and scoring. I finish at 7 toninght and off to Crusty Park with the 2 lads for the FA cup game.
Youve got a future England keeper in Lewis and Im gutted we didnt have the money for him.

I think you maybe right, I will be seeing skiing in a different light at the the start of Jan.

Not my style tbh. They can do what they want and its few and far between they dont want to come. When i say push in that i mean they dont just mess around all of the time not learing anything, tried moguls the other week then they follow me and do better.

jastem wrote:Presume that price included travel and transfer to resort?

Yes includes that as well. The lad whos booking it has a voucher for £50 off per person he finds out today if its still valid so could be £600. Problem I have is everyone seems set on Arabba and on this date because of work.

Ive also forgotten my manners and in the short time Ive been coming on here Ive not introduced myself.
So my names Andy and I live in Sunny Morecambe and Im a Season ticket holder with the club also. Been skiing on Kendal dry slope for 4 years now with my Partner and 3 kids. Been to Pamps (awful) then last year we all went to Bansko and the kids did brilliant. Like it so much I now teach Level 1 on dry slope on Fridays with work and some kids in the morning from a school. My one regrett is I never tried skiing much earlier and really push our kids to do it. Eldest going with school to Itay in Feb (lucky sod)

For a week in Arabba, Karin Chalet, breakfast evening meal and wine and ski passes for the whole place £650? Going March 7th. Theres 8 of us.

Hopefully booking Arabba for March tomorrow so could someone explain to me Sella Ronda, Doloimites and marmalada please.

Need new ones as Ive ripped mine on the dry slope trying to master Moguls!

A combination of searching TK Maxx stores across the UK, buying online from the US, and the ski shop at an outdoor slope locally to me.

I refuse to pay full whack for North Face, Arc'Teryx, etc etc in this country at places like Ellis Brigham and Snow & Rock.

The problem Ive got is Ive ripped my gear and need to get some new stuff for the beginning of Jan. Went to TK max Preston and it ws like a jumble sale. Try Manchester next me thinks after Chrimbo and hope some places drop there prices.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh thats why i cannot find anything...cheers for the tip :shock:
