This thread spurred me into action:

Skis, sticks, bag etc - just under 8kg;
Boots - just under 4kg;
Snow + Rock holdall - just under 5kg.

So a total of 17kg, leaving me with 15kg of my Easyjet allowance.
Should be enough, with judicious use of hand luggage!

A table, such as you describe, is on page 29 of the 2012 edition. There's a whole chapter with any number of comprehensive tables: overall, lift pass, food and drink, eurozone, dollar zone, Swiss Franc zone! The website is www.wtss.co.uk but I think the complete RPI tables are only in the book.

After Ian's comment about researching lift pass prices before he books next year, I got thinking that a ski holiday cost comparison website (where you could see all lift pass prices, beer and food prices) would be a good idea. Then I thought about the work involved, and how, by the time it was done, it would be time to change them all again!

You've made a good start there Andy! :thumbup: Carry on :wink: :lol:

The Where to Ski and Snowboard guide does exactly what you describe in its resort price index listings and takes into account lift pass, ski hire, lessons, food and drink.

The Eastern European resorts, unsurprisingly, come out as the cheapest but Passo Tonale, Alpbach and Puy St Vincent are uo there with them for value for money holidays.

Budget airlines say ONLY the sports equipment, ie skis or board or golf clubs etc, should be carried in the sports equipment bag. I've not used them frequently enough to know whether they check or not.

Defiantly! No need to defy anything! )

Sadly can't make as the boot has stay on my achilles injury for one more week!

Have a good time!

Turned much milder in Austria today - :cry:

This Ipod thing...can someone help?

I've had one for a few years and would love to take it ski-ing.

But I'm having difficulty in getting the CD in it.

Finally, done it this morning!

Gatwick to Innsbruck, Oztal shuttle to Solden and a pleasant looking guesthouse booked via the resort website. All very painless and good value.

Travelling Wednesday to Wednesday, Jan 4 to 11.

Roll on the snow!
