Good spot Ally, they are about 50 miles apart. In the Trentino area of Italy.
Meeting new people in chalets
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 232 Replies
I met a really attractive lady in a chalet hotel a couple of years ago and I now write to her several times a week.

:cry: Sadly the postman brings them back as refused delivery, and she seems to have blocked me from her Facebook page, and now I have a court letter telling me to stay away from her house and work, and to stop pestering her friends :shock:

:twisted: :twisted:

Not really, but it is amazing how often this sort of thing really happens :(

Like I also said, price has a lot to do with it. A quick google shows that you are looking at around £100 more to do Serre Che over Folgarida (was just a single compare, there may be cheaper options elsewhere, but I can't be bothered searching loads tonight).

Now I know that for most that is probably a no-brainer, but I can assure you at my school it would probably be the difference between having a school trip or not. This year, our school is going to Eben Im Pongau in Austria, which they got pretty damn cheap, but they have still struggled to fill it, and have decided that they will now run the trips bi-annually instead of every year.

I just don't get why school trips pick these daft places and the kids come back complaining of broken legs, knackered ligaments, and skiing on water with stones in.


I'm not totally sure it is the schools to blame Tony. In my experience, schools tend to use "specialist" school ski trip arranging companies, and it seems to be these who offer the low resorts in places with not so good snow records. But this is almost certainly driven by price (don't forget these trips are usually in a peak holiday such as half-term or Easter) and the fact there are probably not too many decent hotels willing to accept a group of 40 South London teenagers, looked after by 5 staff who are also trying to enjoy a break.

Perhaps there is a gap in the market for someone to arrange trips to better suited resorts. I suspect though, that once the cost is totalled, schools will still end up going to the low out of the way resorts.

He's usually to be found skiing somewhere in the Les Arcs system.


And if you check out his facebook page, I'm sure there will be plenty of people in Les Arcs at that time who may respond to the question.

:shock: :cry:

I wish! XXL always seems to sell first, and never makes the sales due to zero stock left!
