Thanks Ally nice report & I don't expect there to be any frog-spawn in January. :shock:
Don`t forget the chalet reccy & if poss some photos of that as well if they differ from the web content & see if Mr Ally wants to do a report of the town being that he`s not skiing & put it with yours. :thumbup:

Enjoy the rest of your trip.

However you are likely to have to pay for the returns yourself. Weigh up the pricing of heavy boots, in a parcel sized box as part of the cost of the purchase if you intend to go that route. If it's a NI based store the price for a private courier is likely to be expensive, I'd go for Royal Mail. You'll also want to get it via a service that gives proof of postage and confirmation of receipt, which will add to the return costs.

I believe the returns cost have to be paid by the trader, but as I also said check out the current DSRs as there could have been some changes from the EU on this.

Are you planning on putting more weight on in Jan :(

:twisted: Yep, I have 8 months left to lose some, then I will have to fill my ski gear back up again. Baggy ski gear is way too cold, and cakes are cheaper than a new jacket and pants :lol:

Cakes cheap in France :shock:

Cheapest way to solve this problem would be to pack out your kit with old newspapers & even cheaper if you use the free ones clogging up your letter box :D

Mmm, now that's my sort of mountain food. Yum :lol:

Is that Tignes Val Claret, I don't recognise the shop, but must add it to the list of places to visit on the J2Ski trip in Jan :twisted:

If you are buying online you could order a few sizes to see what fits & under the DSRs send the others back you will have 7 days to notify them about the returns & no reason has to be given.

I suggest you look up the DSR for full details & any changes to the law.

I would not consider this to be one of the ten reasons to buy a Go Pro, in fact just the reverse & Jonny snapzzz sounds like a family planning disaster :shock:

As others have said, have a good time & don't forget the report, -) also if its not too much to ask I would be interested reading a report from your husband, just to compare notes as it were. :shock:

To do that I would have go straight up after apres ski finishes :)
