Yes we will be having our fix at the same time. Stopping at The Rousel right by the avalanche break between Le lac and Val Claret. Great to see the white stuff building up.

We're in the L'Agile Royal which is somewhere in Le Lac, its our first time to Tignes so no idea of the geography yet sorry!

We should all meet for a drink one night, presuming its easy to get between the different villages at night...

Have you been to Tignes before?

so yeah Trencher knows what he is talking about.

Thank you Trencher

Wow that's great Theo, you should share with the rest of how you managed it, all tips welcome :wink:

Definitely worth asking at the desk and smiling sweetly - we got an upgrade from Business Class to 1st Class coming back from Oz just for asking at the check-in in Shanghai :-)

If I can do it anyone can!

I've flown with Monarch quite a few times and whilst they're not great I have definitely flown with worse.

The premium would be worth it if your going trans atlantic as you get increased leg room better meals etc and more luggage allowance - 30kgs I think!

Inghams told us the same thing last year but the guy at the airport check in desk said that Boot Bags went free - you could always check with the airport.

My boots always go in my hold bag now and even with hairdryer, straighteners, make up bag etc I still get it under 20kgs, where as years ago I was always over allowance and had a separate boot bag. Just remember you've got to carry it all once in resort!

We flew with Monarch on another trip to Canada last year and were told that snowboard bags were allowed up to 20kgs and were allowed boarding boots in but that ski bags were only allowed up to 12kgs - who knows why :twisted:

For Sale:

Hi All, I'm posting these for my OH...

Black Burton Mission Bindings - Large - used for approx 4 weeks, still in good condition. Any Offers?

Vans Cirro 08/09 Dual Boa Snowboard Boots - UK 9.5 - Used for one week in March this year so look like new almost, paid £230 for them looking for £125 (free postage).

I can send pics of both if you pm your email as I haven't figured out how to do it on here yet :oops:

I promise I will duly report back to you - all the good bars, restaurants etc !

30th? Wow, you'll have a fantastic time - we're both 32, shame we weren't there the same week we could have showed you how to celebrate properley!!

As I said, you'll love it I'm sure and your OH will love the real stuff - I hope you both have a fantastic holiday Matt x

Shame we'll just miss you Matty, I'm sure you're partner will love the real stuff :D
