Loads of other places are good as well, just not where we tend to go - everyone has their favourites and I'm sure there'll be lots more suggestions!

Last year the snow was unbelievable for about 5 months - who knows this season....!

Don't knock it. The snow is going to be brillant and then in the summer we have the olympics to look forward to.

re: Returning Jan 2012

Haha typo- it is in fact as you guessed 2013

I think we could have about 15 attempts at the euros and we still wouldnt win a thing we are useless

Few of our group are hiring equipment where is the best place to hire from while we are there.

Also where is the cheapest place to get lift passes from and how much are they on average

re: Returning Jan 2012

If you are booking a package holiday the lift pass is normally cheaper if you book through them. If you find a post with Kas & Bobbys name on it highlited in blue and click on it to email them im sure they will reply to tell you where the best deals are.
