Never use my I-pod while actually skiing but if I did it would be Metallica........Nothing Else Matters.

I dont know about other places but certainly in Finland/Lapland kiddies under 7 yrs old that wear helmets get free lift passes.

Well I cant fault our TO, Inghams. There has been changes to next years holiday but they have been very compliant. We booked early bird, got good discounts and then at Easter they offered extra discounts and I applied for them, initially they said no but a polite request from me got us another 100 quid each off. Then they changed airlines which meant no food included, so Inghams sent us a chq to cover on board meals. Then we found that that Jet 2 are now offering free ski carriage so they refunded our ski carriage charges. Then as flight times had changed to arriving later than planned they have arranged for transfer bus to stop at supermarket on route to resort so you can buy essentials to last you until you shop the next day. Cant ask for more.

Hi Elias welcome to the mad house. For those sort of activities I would suggest some-where in Lapland. The slopes are gentle.........well most of them, snowmobiling, snowshoe walking,huskies, reindeer sleighs, ice carting and loads and loads of snow. But be prepared quite pricey. But far better than Bulgaria IMHO.

We will be wearing them this year, nothing to do with accident in Canada, just a decision we both made.

Always up early on Winter hols. In Lapland get up, bathroom, then ski jacket on top of PJs and boots, and gloves, go outside for first ciggie and cup of coffee, no smoking in log cabins.
Back inside disrobe back to PJ's have cooked breakfast and decide whether to ski, board or Xcountry. Shower, get dressed.........clothes are ready, always get clothes ready the night before. Head out for which ever we decided to do for about 10am.

Its all part of it though, Bandit.

you're either cool or you're not, regardless of what you're wearing or doing 8)

But what you are wearing is all part of what makes you cool or not.

Sorry Tony but I couldn't disagree more :twisted:
You could put an uncool person in so-called cool clothes but it wouldn't make them cool.
You could also put a cool person in naff clothes and they could still pull it off.
It's not possible to make yourself cool 8)

Sorry Tony but have to agree with Bandit and Caron, clothes dont make you cool. Cool is also about, attitude, personality and mentality IMHO.

Hi gemski, you mentioned Finland but did't know much about the place. Its wonderful, short transfers, snowsure and ideal for beginners but................its very cold, very expensive and dark from about 2.30pm. Having said that I love it, it suits us perfectly lots of extra activities, uncrowded, magical the Apres ski is there if you want it, if you dont there's lovely places to have a few beers or a good meal. Accomodation wise can be a log cabin in the woods, large hotels slope side or lots of appartments slope side. I love Austria but have the Finland bug at the moment so going for the second time next year.
