Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

WayneC, I could just point you to last season's blog, when I was actually in VT Very Happy , but as there are 12 pages or so to sort through, the relevant bits might take some finding!

Can't be sure what's going on up there this season, but last year The Viking was definitely the place for some early beers; they used to do BOGOF between 4 and 7pm, so I'd check out what they're doing this year. The Viking is about 3 doors down from the Frog (last year their Happy Hour knocked a euro off a pint, so not quite so happy Laughing ), but it's not that obvious; there's just a door opening right out onto the road with steps leading down to a basement.

Nice atmosphere there last season, showed plenty of footie and had free wifi too.

Hurtle, No, but he was buying a pass for 12 days, so I guess they are using the same daily rate, give or take, for a 12 day pass as for a 6 day pass.

johnnyboy, oh, sorry. But you said 6 days - and, since I have to buy a 6 day pass myself in a couple of weeks, the thought of paying £440 for it made me feel quite weak! Shocked

Hurtle, Very, very sorry for giving you a heart attack, I obviously didn't read my own post properly Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

It was £440 odd for 12 days, not 6, just to be 100% clear.

Just back from VT and can confirm that the Viking is doing 2 for 1 on everything from 4 - 7 pm and beer is 5.5€ . The Frog is doing 2 for 1 on from 4 to 6pm and the The Irish Bar is doing lager for 4.50€ betwen 4 and 6pm. We prefered the music, and atmosphere in the Viking.

We had a terible meal in the resturant in the corner of the Sports Centre Complex. I'll look up the name for the next time I'm on here. One of our group thought it was the worst meal they had ever had in France, and he's been going there over 20 years!! Very Happy

edit - Name of resturant with really poor food was Les 3 Pachas. HTH.

rayscoops,
I have to say that everthing was very expensive... 4€ for coffee, 6€ for beer, 10 to 14€ for pizza. We saw French onion soup at 15€... but that was in Corcheval 1850.

It's the first time ever on a skiing holiday that I have made sandwiches for lunch Sad Terible... I dont mind making my own breakfast, to get out a bit quicker, but we even made two evenings meals in our self catering room.

It was supposed to be a holiday and I ended up making lunch... I don't even make lunch at home !!!

The skiing was very good though Very Happy Very Happy

Wondering what happened to johnnyboy? Enjoyed his tales so much that I went back and read last season. Maybe he got a bookdeal...

Should we send out a search party? Can any other snowheads check he is alright? With recent threads about people getting lost trying to find their way home after a late night beer it makes me a bit concerned! On the other had he has probably run off with a French waitress who doesn't have wi-fi. johnnyboy, if you are out there let us know how it's going as we are all sitting here on the edge of our seats, I hope every thing is OK.

it does seem as though he has gone awol, maybe he's having too much fun skiing to keep us as updated as last season, or maybe he's busy writing a book about his exploits and has had to sign some form of clause saying he won't write about it before its finished hehe

Can't help feeling that some disaster must have befallen him. He supposedly had many snowHead friends, don't any of them know what's happened?

Megamum, spoke to him during the pre EoSB week when we were in VT and met him in the first day of the EoSB, just before we returned to the UK. I expect he made an appearance during that week too.

Hurtle, I got the impression that the season hadn't progressed without incident and that rather than post nothing, but the bad stuff that had happened he decided to not post at all. He did seem happy to be meeting up with folks when I spoke to him and looked well in himself at the time I bumped into him. BMF_Skier actually missed seeing him by about a minute Laughing !!!

Megamum, A season with an incident or two! Did it involve a certain French waitress, and or her Mr. Universe/ski instructor boyfriend?

We are now intrigued!
