okay point taken, so what's your excuse?

Oh man, I thought skiing was something you did to get fit?!? Seems I have missed the boat on this lark.

I've only done this type of accommodation once, it was Austria but not the big M. It was in Filzmoos and it was an English couple who ran it. Drove us to the lifts of a morning, provided Asprin for our hangovers and generally made it very comfortable. Heck, one mowing when I could not rouse my snowboarding buddy, the owner gave me a lift to the lift telling me at 9am that the village hadn't had such a chuckle at Kareoke in a long time and that the Irish always steal the show.

Pabs knows who I am talking about ;)

one thing to watch, we spent about 220 Euro for 7 nights B&B so thought we had a little extra for the little extras. Turned out to be one of the most expensive weeks I have done, but that's another story and not s reflection on this type of lodging. Go for it.

I'd stick with your plan to find an attractive, millionaire's daughter if I were you, buy a chalet and we then can all come and stay )


Um, er, we have the family coming that week, sorry ;)
Lynn, great recap but unfortunately I lost interest after the words "probably none" :wink:

Not everyone will want to go into a chalet, or get flights and transfers, or in fact spend a whole week there )

I think some folks will hold back to see what date gets agreed on before making their declaration.

All to play for!


hmmmm, exclusivity you say? brunt of the joke for a week more like!!

Gonna get a sticker for my board.

What was the question again?

Can I ask the audience?

3 13 23 33 43

3 9
So it seems like Skidaddle and I have a plan then. Gonna put my feet up for the next 9 months whilst the rest of you get a chalet and flights from various airports nailed down :twisted:

A few other questions spring to mind....

Do we have a count of interested parties yet?
Am I the only snowboarder?
How many attractive single ladies are going?
Can we get a group deal on lift passes?
Can those who need get a group deal on hire?
Will there by enough snow?
And has anyone seen my G&T?
