I've just had look at the site, mainly to get price compression. I'm I doing it correctly as there seem to be literally no seats available. Do they only depart on certain days?

Also it only seems to let you book three months in advance?

... at a push!

These guys used to do a similar version as the standard double ones on offer, only a lot bigger, and with wheels.

There doesn't seem to be any listed in the store at the moment, but it might be worth dropping them a line and see if they're due to get any more in.

I have the standard double bag myself, and you'd struggle to get two pairs of ski's and boots in there.

Good work! Apparently the user interface is much better on the Hero 2.

Let me know how you get on with the chest harness. With thinking about getting one myself.

Make that 20%. He can get a 3 day lift pass for 95 Uros for the Espace Killy area. Usual price is 118.50 Uros. Any improvements on that please post the link. :thumbup:

I've onnly come across discounted lift passes in a limited number of resorts, usually combined with an offer week deal with a hotel. For example, wellness week in BKK. Not at any of the big resorts though. Unless you know otherwise.....?

I went to Tignes last year, and will be again in Feb (can't wait). The hotel manager called me about 3 weeks before we were due to go to ask if we wanted lift passes. He managed to get about 30% off the rate quoted on the official Tignes website. I've looked for better offers all over the net, but non are as good as his.

In fact I'm just about to email him again, and order them for this year.
