ski passes are same price as last year... but the current 35lv on weekends.. is a lot less in pounds at the exchange rate of £1 - 2.50 in July compared to £1- 2lv now in DEC.

Please try and remember that... the food prices the same as i was at ...

Your on holls after all- shouldnt be thinking of counting pennies- ok pound has lost value and prices may have gone up- but thats the case everywhere!
Shame theres no all inclusive hotels to chose from! Very Happy
