I've added Iceman, Alistair S, and Dorset Boy to the list now :)

We are now looking for a male room buddy for Davidsa2 to share a twin room with him in the Gran Baita hotel. We thought we'd found one but unfortunately (for him and us) he couldn't get the time off work :(

The holiday details are on page 56. The date is Sunday 2nd February to Sunday 9th February. The bottom line is that the total holiday cost works out at around £700 including flights, transfers, half-board accommodation, area lift pass, and ski hire. But the exact costs will depend on which flights you buy.
This is not a package holiday. We have a group booking for the hotel but this does not include flights and transfers. The idea is that you book these yourself with help and advice from the rest of us in the group :)

The 12 seater taxi mini-bus that Ian W booked to take people straight from Verona airport to the hotel in Folgarida is full now, although I suppose if several more people want to come with us and take up this option we could consider hiring a larger one.

There is also a public shuttle bus from Verona and Milan Bergamo airports to Folgarida. RyanAir go to Bergamo and Easyjet and BA go to Verona.

There are 20 of us now, booked into the Gran Baita hotel.

If you are thinking of coming with us would you please either post up on here or send me a pm. Thanks :)

Great to hear your ski trip is so well supported, I'm very jealous. Would love to come but unfortunately tied to school holidays. I'm sure you'll have fantastic time skiing in Folgarida & Marilleva (great black runs 1 Nera Folgarida and 25/26 Orti/Nera Marilleva), my favourite ski area is Madonna di Campiglio with loads of nice runs on both sides of town (and all cleverly connected). From M.di C. you can also go to Pinzolo, it takes 16 min by a modern Pinzolo-Campiglio Express. Have a great time everybody!

Thanks very much - that's very helpful information :)
And I'm sorry you can't come with us :(

OK, done it ATOO :)

Yes - and you can stay first on the list as long as you spell ski-ing with a hyphen ;)

I think it's easier for me just to re-post the list today, including bald-eagleman and everyone else. If anyone else wants to go on the list would they please post on here saying so, giving the name of the resort they're going to and the date. And if you see any mistakes would you please let me know so I can correct them. Thanks :)
