Has anyone here been glacier skiing in Europe, if so what is it like?

Does Land Rover not sponsor her? She was talking about mountaineering on TV. |

In Poland the temperature over the weekend was 30C (86F)and the highest ski slope was still open. People were skiing ion t shirts and shorts!

Well I would much rather ski down to the village, go for value and go skiing two or three times a year then once and have a view with my meal.
I still think asking €3 for a 500ml bottle of coke is over charging when restaurants in the village were charging €1.80 and store were selling 2 litre bottles for €2.60. |

She was on TV last night and was wondering has Chemmy retired now from skiing?
I do not think she competed for the last two years |

I do not worry about the price when I go with my father, he pays :)
Having in recent years been to Livigno and Sauzie and other places I was surprised how expensive it was in Bormio. I remember Slovakia in 2006 when an afternoon skiing, several coffees and an evening meal in the restaurant was £10. OK the slope was only about a km in length but quite pleasant through a wood. Have I said this already? |

Bornio So he did and it is still true of virtually every other businesses that they have fixed overhead but they do not get away with charging full price if they are not providing a full service. I was just thinking, you wouldn't want to buy a roller ski bag. The wheels have broken off while being thrown around by the luggage loaders at the airport, a new one cost £80 but I sell you it for £60. |

As opposed to the ski resorts ripping me off all year round! I pay for a pass for all the lifts and when they close them I can not use them but still get charged. Fact is unlike airlines and car hire companies I can not go to a ski pass comparison site and look for cheaper supplier. Discount was 17% on the pass |
