Winter is different though......wine included, ski hosting (no need for a map) for varying levels of skill and best of all the activity based childcare.

We can't have that allowing riffraff in, what ever next )

Sounds fun, eating with people that you don't know and possible don't like.

Uncomfortable beds.

Rooms not cleaned .

Fixed time eating.

Noisy returns from drunken nights out waking the whole chalet.

Sounds fun to me :mrgreen:

I think the first one is a risk which is not usually dealt with (everyone has the common skiing interest). The second can be a problem in any restaurant or pub (definitely in Scotland anyways :lol: ). The next 2 are on a get what you pay for basis in that it could happen in a sh*tty hotel too. Fixed eating time was not a problem for me at all. Noisy returns frequently happen in hotels. You just need to give it a try Wickham and remember-you get what you pay for.

What makes you think I haven't 8)

By all reports ise they have some great snow out there at the moment and with the prospect of more to come everything looks set for a great few days, even looking on the snow-forcast site last night the weather seems ok for our travel day on Sunday, I am a bit sad, I really do get excited :mrgreen:
