Meh...what's the point in worrying. I'm just taking as much money as I can afford with me, plus a bottle of spirits to warm the cockles before we go out of an evening. Morgans spiced should do the trick I think.

TBH I'm so tired at the end of a day's skiing that I only want to chill out and have a few quiet pints. Really can't be doing with a hangover when I've got to get up and drive at 8 am. For that reason I don't think I'll be having too many at night.

Famous last words, of course

Lunch, about 9 euros for soup up to about 16 for something a bit more substantial.
Basicly a bit scarey!

Sweet Jesus!

I'll be staying in the apartment more than I thought!

Yeah pricy but worth it if you actually get the functionality out of them. Worth their weight on gold out on a mountain bike trail...especially if the light fades and I need to change to a clear lens. Look the nuts too!

Santa brought me...



...and a The North Face Valkyrie soft shell jacket, amongst other things.

What do you think of Guitar Hero/Mario Kart, worth it?

Definitely, if you have friends over a lot. Both are awesome fun with mates and a few beers.

Because the wording of the policies that she deals with (over 150 different policies) state that it's the responsibility of the person, not a more experienced skier who happens to be skiing with them.

If an instructor told a beginner to ski down a black run and they did so and injured themselves or someone else, then the instructor would be liable.

This thread is getting a bit much. Wish I'd never asked.

Who are you insured with for that. The missus is in insurance and is a little confused by your post.

In hindsight, I probably asked the wrong question in creating this thread.

If I'd thought more carefully I might have asked the question that Trencher has unwittingly answered. I don't really want to teach them to ski, and if that's the impression I gave then sorry to all that took it that way. All I want to do is make sure they all have a good time. They have no intention of trying to be experts by the end of the week. They just want to have a laugh, and learn a bit while they're at it.

None of us will be attempting and extreme terrain, and there will certainly be no sense of competition. My friends just aren't like that. The closest they will get is pushing themselves to learn and progress

Only read about that new cable car today. If it had have been that one there would have been some interesting new decoration of the terrain below. Thanks christ it wasn't.
