I have never even hear of it lol.

Has anyone?

In the billboard chart it was Rock the Boat and i have heard of that. lol

I LOVE She by Charles Aznavour. i think it's played at the end of Notting Hill (correct me if I'm wrong someone) so it's a film song..just not a ski one..

Mine was Little Red Rooster..Rolling Stones..not one of my faves...tho I like chickens and the Stones....!

Hi all,
We've been through the ins and outs of buying passes in advance before I'm sure, but I just wanted to know if anyone has used this site to buy lift passes in advance in sterling?

We aren't using them for accommodation but they will take a booking for lift passes, post a voucher and we collect passes in resort.
If anyone has used them can they say if they were reliable?
Would hate to get out to resort and find we'd paid for something and that the voucher wasn't legit.

With the pound as it is against the euro we might save a few quid...if it's worth it...

Nosey I know - but are you the Dan and Clare previously from Samoens?!

:oops: ooh er

No, we didn't visit the ice caves. We had our kids in the kindy at Rohrmoos each day so couldn't go far.
Oh, the toboggan run is MAD!
7kms in the dark no one wore helmets even that recently. Can't believe no one was injured.
Great fun.

It's where my Mum at 60 learnt to ski.
I would like to go back really. I like Austria. but we always seem to end up in France as we're tied to school holidays and tend to drive.
In a few years we'll be getting late deals, Saalbach will by my 1st one I hope.

Amanda,
We went to Shladming for New Year 2000/01.
It's a great place.
We stayed with Equity ski at Hotel Rossl, basic, but we had small kids and everyone was happy enough with it.

New Year was a blast! Watch out for elderly ladies chucking fire crackers in the street. It was so funny to watch them collapsing with laughter when they made people jump.
Someone put a firework in a tree in the main street at midnight, so the local firemen were called to put it out.

It's a lovely ski area, pretty town, quite lively, not like France at all.(in that France is not lively in the evenings - I happen, however, to love France)..you'll have a ball.

Oh...and I meant to add.
My friend went to Les Gets in January this year with http://www.alpineelements.co.uk/

She had a great time

I've done a couple of short breaks to Samoens, Grand Massif.
Once we stayed in a hotel and the 2nd time we went to Les Terrasses.
www.samoenschalet.com

We had no problem getting a short break.

We had both the apartment and the larger chalet. The apartment would easily sleep 5 (or more if you don't mind cosy)
Eating out is not a problem in Samoens, the apartment is near to the town centre, but also in walking distance of the Gondola.

We've also stayed Neige et Roc hotel, lovely food! I would imagine they would take short break bookings. The hotel we did stay in for a short break is now closed.

The snow should still be great at the end of March and it's only an hour from Geneva.

We went to Alagna once for a short break. I have ever been so cold in my life!!!
