Hi Pete,,, I read on a previous post that the water was ok to drink ,, is it a case of take a drink- take your chance
(in Pamps on the 29th jan)
cheers Gary
Pool free, I believe
I think wifi is free too but there are plenty of places that do have it.
Helmets are not compulsory for adults although recomended.
There are a number of places who will do your skis but think you will have to get them done on the sunday morning. There is a place that I used last season next to the hire shop by the Gondola. Can't remember how much and there may be better places than that.
£10 will go a fair way but it depends on what you want and how much you eat and ...

9 may be in the resort should be no problem
The water is OK to drink for most and fine for cleaning your teeth - however it can cause a dickkie tummy due to the minerals. Not worth getting sick on holiday so I would recommend bottled.
Thanks Pete, thanks EMJAY, thanks Sune. Much appreciated.
I am sure we will meet you all. Have my wife and son(17) and daughter(14) in tow. I will have a hat with red hair on. If you see me, come and say hello. Hat looks like this(http://www.slamw.plus.com/passo/images/img_9393.jpg)
Very much lookingforward to skiing. Only have to wait (http://www.slamw.plus.com/ski.html) before we go, lol

Swimming pool is free but you must have a pair of flip flops to wear. Take a cheap pair with you otherwise you will have to buy a pair there and they wont be cheap!! Enjoy
