Easter hols

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 18:21:59 GMT

Well gone and done it, being the impetuous person that I am. Les Arcs, Hotel Brunerie, all inclusive 31st March........woohoo. Can I go into the loft to get the bags out yet? Yes I know I could have waited for a last minute deal but a couple of the hotels I have looked at are now sold out so what the heck? Lifes too short. I haven't worked out how many sleeps yet but I will. :)

:) :-) :D
Obviously you do need to get the bags and everything down tomorrow.
Vital to check it's all clean and the mice haven't eaten anything.
This will also give you time to check over equipment - so you don't have to have a mad panic on what absolutely must be replaced :wink:

But, can you clarify where you are going please. I hadn't heard of a Brunerie in les Arcs, but had in Les Deux Alpes - couldn't find a Brunerie in Les Arcs at all!

Ha ha !!!

I had the most wonderful week there in January as did several other J2Skiers. MW ran a very good ship, professional and friendly.

Loved the guiding!

One thing I didn't mention was the hire shop in the garage below the hotel. All looks a bit ramshackle but reasonable kit and the guys were really happy to get something different from their main shop if you wanted it. I had brand spanking new Salomon BBR 8.9 for the price of normal "better" skies. They brought them up to the hotel for me and everything.

Of course you can - can't believe you haven't done so already :D

Check through all the ski gear too - you have just over a month left in case anything NEW needs to be bought!

By now you should be wearing your ski gear... just to make sure it still fits... it's never too early to get excited. 8)

I only tried my ski pants on the other day, fortunately they still fit, although shame I didn't have an excuse to go shopping.

36 sleeps I believe :)

Went up in the loft under the pretext of getting luggage scales for daughter who went boarding to Pila today. Had a quick look through the bags for reassurance that I don't need anything else. Resisted trying anything on although I have lost nearly a stone in the last 7 weeks so may have to get a belt!!! Roll on Easter.....34 sleeps I think :D

We're off on the same day. But I thought counting days until was a bit depressing yet!

Just moved house, so a good sort through is deffo in order. Ski clothes still in vacuum bags.

Enjoy!

Missed a trick there Dids - ski gear should have been "lost" :thumbup:

So all that old, out of fashion, tatty, stuff you are bored with, could have been legitimately replaced.

I'm going at Easter too - do you think a practice week's skiing might be sensible? )

Ironically I live near Sandbanks in Dorset but hate the beach!!! Give me the white stuff anytime.
