If so, where did you go?
We are looking to go the end of March 2009 for 4-5 days, and would like to know the best way to book it and roughly how much it costs.
Any information appreciated, thanks
Isobel

The last couple of years I have skied La thuile, Passo Tonale and this year Adelboden in Switzerland, in the past I have booked these hols independently of the tour operators, book a flight, Hire a car, Book hotel, possible the hardest part of this operation is finding a hotel not taken up by the TO's but they are there you just need to search them out. Previously these breaks have run Thursday to Sunday, this year we go Sunday to Thursday so the slopes hopefully will be less busy. This year appox cost hotel £500 ( half board ), flights booked with air-miles, car £130 plus lift passes. I hope this helps. :lol:

Hi Tony, mucky D's ok, Iron bru absolutely disgusting, should be kept north of the border. 8)

The main thing is that you want to go again, the rest put down to experience, I like group lessons, but perhaps next time get some of your party together and book private. :wink:

I don't make new year resolutions, but I have one target die old on ski's :mrgreen:

There was a lady from Snowstars taking shots around Niederau on the Saturday I was there - take a look. Me and Mrs H are in there somewhere.

By the way 22 days. 8)
