Should I stay or should I go now......

........think their is a song there somewhere! :D

Anyway back on point, I've been skiing to Meribel already this season and have just had an offer accepted on a house. BUT one of my friends is doing a season in LDA and can get me free accomodation and a free transfer. Flights are GBP100 return.

Question is, should I be sensible and save the money for the house or do i go and think what the hell you only live once! :)

Can you have a word with Mrs BB? She claims we are too busy with work to fit in another ski holiday this year. I see a 'domestic' developing in the near future....

Get thee gone - its actually justifiable as it makes the purchase of your new helmet more cost effective....

You MUST - a house move is incredibly stressful and you will need to unwind for your HEALTH !!!!
Otherwise you will probably not survive the move.........

1st prize is relentless ridicule,
2nd prize is a forensic analysis of your lunch costs,
3rd prize is a free copy of the "948 reasons not to go to that resort" checklist...

You can have 2nd prize... :lol:

I'm gonna go I think!!

I really liked the helmet, it was really warm and the adjustable vents made it easy to cool your head down if it got a bit too hot.
The whole visor idea on top of the helmet is exceptional. I only really used the bad light visor when conditions were windy and visibility poor. I found the visor gave a better field of view than a normal pair of goggles and more of your face was covered. Foam over the nose shape and on the underside of the visor ensured draft was minimal. I wore the visor with a buff which covered all my face (bar my eyes obviously!) and not once did the visor steam up. So all in all a fantastic piece of kit and brilliant for anyone who hates having to carry goggles around with them.

You can also use this visor on top of glasses. I did try mine on top of my sunglasses and again no steaming up occurred of either my sunglasses or the visor itself.

That's all folks!

I'd normally say go...but it is Les Deux Alpes which puts a slightly different complexion on things!

Are you for real?
The house comes first, save your GBP100 for 10 rolls of woodchip wallpaper. Going skiing is a waste of money and should be avoided at all costs.

At last! An easy way of comparing ski holiday value...

You simply have to ask; "would you like to go skiing for a week, or have 60 rolls of woodchip wallpaper?" ...

blackpool-skier - you still here? 8)

Very simple answer here. Go. Its GBP100, almost throwaway money.

Shouldn't that be 100 rolls of woodchip wallpaper? I thought we'd pretty much established that it costs at least GBP1,000 per person to go ski-ing/boarding for a week if you include everything ...

I may be wrong Andy, but I think Admin was talking about the rest of us when he said a week's ski-ing costs 60 rolls of wood chip wallpaper. I mean, it's only going to cost Blackpool-skier 10 rolls of that lovely wallpaper, because she's getting free transfers and free accommodation :)

Mind you, I'm not sure what she's going to do for food and her lift pass. Maybe the accommodation includes food and she's going 'ski touring' or whatever you call it when you hike up the mountain and don't bother using the ski lifts ... ;)

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me! :)

Sorry about that, I get very confused about whether people are male or female on this forum ...

I hope your lift pass and your food won't cost you too many rolls of wallpaper ;)

And I hope you have a great time! :)

Season pass for Three Valleys ~~~ Euro1215

My season pass for the whole of Tirol ~~~~ Euro717

However,given the circumstances..... go for it.

Please, just please, don't ask me to help you strip off the woodchip....

relative to the price of the house whatever you spend on a holiday - unless you go full-on VIP - is very little, so go.
