Has anyone used this site???

Does it work??

The cost of the card is covered by just one lift pass saving. Is it just a scam though??

These days, before agreeing to anything you should read the T&C's. Would you take out a mortgage, loan, credit card, insurance policy, new phone contract etc without reading it all?

No snow at Stansted at present.

Although I'm working in Piccadilly all day tomorrow and am just going to check out a few hotels - just in case.

I have to agree with some of the other comments.

I've been to Eastern Europe for a summer holiday - even while the 'iron curtain' was still drawn.

I wouldn't go back even if the trip was free. I'd rather pay and know I was getting what I wanted - rather than hoping for the best. I don;t care how cheap the initial price seems - good snow records / accommodation / food etc does not come at a knocked down price...... Although the EURO is taking the pi55 a little.

I concurr (not sure of the spelling).

Ski kit is for the snow (and not the 10 cm we have had rescently.

I mean - would you wear goggles walking down the street in the UK, just because there is snow on the ground and the sun is out???

I think not!!

It's mid afternoon Xmas eve...

I'm about 15 miles east of Stansted.

The snow is nearly all gone and not much ice left on the roads / paths.

There is no worries about flights from Stansted (unless things change).

I'm off to Flaine via Geneva in 3 weeks - only 8 working days left!!!!!!

Try

thecoolbus.co.uk

They are based in Bourg and I'm sure can help you out.

I've used them several times for airport transfers.

Thanks.

It was group lessons I was most interested in.
