Do you mean those simple ski ties? the velcro ties that hod the skis together while you carry on your shoulder?
I bought 6 sets of these as i can see myself loosing them all the time and the were only a pound a set at the brume ski show.
Some of the best ski cash i have spent. They go on when i take my skis off at night and sty there until first lift. Then in my pocket.

IMO you booked a holiday in good faith, paid deposit & then got bumped causing a lot of anguish & no doubt time consuming discussions on how to get another holiday sorted.

Eventually they find something suitable & you are indebted to them for doing what should have been done without question & no compensation offered, not my idea of a company I would be doing future business with.

I am pleased for you & your family with getting your trip back on track but feel sorry for any situation causing you to rely on Crystal in the future, IMO they could have done more for the pain they put you & your family through.

Sorry i did forget to add that the Accommodation now is a decent upgrade. We were in the older maeva apartments but now have been placed in the New Eden Arc resort which whilst out of town a little i am pleased with.

Guys,

As a follow up i am pleased to say that my unfortunate situation has now been resolved to our satisfaction.
Crystal Ski have managed to find a suitable 2 bedroom apartment for us which is great news as our holiday is now back on track.
No other compensation was asked for again or received.

I would like to point out one thing before i sign this thread off and that is why i was reluctant to cancel my booking and take my business elsewhere as suggested by many members. This is simple. Cost.
Crystal have always been my first choice in TO because they do offer value for money and they fit my requirements 100%. We tend to Ski self catering and rely very little on the reps/child care and all other in resort services. We need flights, transfers and a half decent apartment and we have always found Crystal offer this cheaper than others.
When i booked it was early doors and there were great offers to be had that have now gone with most other TOs and we also had 2-4-1 on ski hire.
Sure i could have just waited until Dec and tried to grab a cheap deal but having a family means we are tied to certain weeks and we need to plan ahead with some certainty.

So i would to take this opportunity to thank Crystal for their help and say that unless something drastic happens we will continue to book with them in future. Although i am not sure that they would want us

It would appear that the court decided that the husband was the de facto leader and was therefore responsible for his wife's actions.

IMHO that is crazy.

After a day on the piste i can barely stand to touch my own trotters. Eek i would never do it to anyone else or want to put mine in the hands of another.
