Piste Ski £250-£400
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 9 Replies
I got a set of Metron B5i's last year at the Olympia Ski Show and had a ball on-piste last season over several trips (I'm 5'10" and just over 15 stone).

How to get to peisey vallandry.....
Started by User in France, 11 Replies
We rented from Grenoble last year, worked out cheaper than booking transfers for 4 of us and we got up to Arc 1950 about 2 hrs + before all the tour buses from the same flight started rolling in. By that time we'd got passes, had a nice wee ski and were enjoying a late lunch.

We had booked a small 4x4, but they ended up upgrading us at no charge to a large 4x4 - ski chains and ski roof rack were included in the price.

Just keep shopping around for the best deal.

Travelling with ski boots
Started by User in Ski Hardware, 50 Replies
Bristol airport DO NOT allow ski boots as hand baggage and going from what I saw last year this policy was strictly enforced - there were several signs round the terminal warning you of this and I saw several people turned back at security.

Don't know about other UK airport policies though, best to check!

Group or private?
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 9 Replies
Go private ! I found groups great for getting me started, but these days I always take a private either on my own or with 1/2 others of similar abaility - much better value for the money and it leaves plenty if time to do your own thing and work on what you'vce learned in the lesson.

Thanks for that Dave, I'll look into it.

Have been to Tonale & Madonna before and will be skiing the Sella Ronda in Feb 2009 with my eldest daughterso looking for somewhere else.

Yeah, I usually get hit with either New Year or Feb half Term as I I take my daughters for a week, but this year they have an extended Xmas break as their school is moving to a new building so they don't go back till about 12th January - bonus for me as it's cost the same to take all three of us away this season as it did for one of us last year!
