I find I can't eat much when I'm skiing. I usually have porridge & fruit for breakfast & carry a tub full of mixed nuts, dried fruit & chocolate buttons to snack on. If we stop for lunch, finances dictate that we usually go for a plate of chips to share, or soup & bread & that's plenty for me. Sometimes a crepe from a little mountain hut is a welcome afternoon treat.
P.s. - I don't normally live on a daily diet of chocolate buttons, chips & crepes - honest! :? |

Hi Marv - I've booked the same return journey in January with www.gomassif.com
Check them out. I looked at buses but couldn't get back to the airport in time for my return flight. Also, Go-Massif weren't that much more expensive, especially considering the extra convenience of a private transfer. |

Admin - maybe it's time to set up a new folder entitled 'Pavelworld'? :?

Well I was in Les Gets in January this year - the week the pistes were totally closed :cry: I claimed £100 each for piste closure for the named people on my family policy with World Ski. (I soon spent it on a few days skiing in La Plagne where the conditions were fantastic) :lol:

A couple of years ago we paid a 'bit extra' to stay in a catered chalet, thinking it would be nice to have some company & that there was a good chance there would be other children for our little boy to play with. We had a 20 bed chalet to ourselves & the chalet host couldn't cook to save her life. I think from now on I'm with msej449 & bandit. (Maybe we could all share a chalet & be grumpy old gits together?) :P

Catered is easier, but I also find it quite restricting. Last year we self catered & friends were catered. They could never join us in the evening to enjoy activities in the village or go ice skating because they had to be ready for dinner at a set time.
We usually stop at a patisserie on the way home from the slopes to eat a delicious treat & to buy some fresh bread. By the time we get home we've eaten most of the bread & don't feel hungry any more :lol: I find that if we have some yogurts, fruit, bread, pate & cheese handy in our apartment then nobody goes hungry & we don't have to spend a lot on eating out. I enjoy getting up early & walking (hopefully through the snow) to the bakery for fresh croissants - it's all part of the experience! At the end of the day, I guess you'll have to decide what your priorities are, but I don't think cooking has to be a chore - just keep it simple & eat out occasionally for a treat. |

Not to need to claim on my winter sports insurance for 'piste closure' :(
