You are welcome to pay me in Euros in resort although I'm kinda hoping not everybody does as I'll have a lot of Euros to look after
If you want to pay before we go, click the "Convert this amount to Sterling" link on your snowAccount and pay by the normal methods. |
Do you prefer us to do that for the EoSB as well (if you'll excuse me for asking when you've still got two ski trips to go before then  )?
[Edited to make it clear what I was referring to.]

Hi Folks - I have now stopped dithering - I am coming (just got to sort out how to transfer money to admin!) Have to apologise cos I plan to board most of the time too (although I might ski a couple of days). Can't tell from names - how many females are going so far? Flying Easyjet Luton 0705 return Luton 1050. Is anyone else using the same flights? Perhaps we could wear some form of indentification and meet up at Luton?

Mudkicker, Am I right that you're leaving from Gatwick and returning to Luton? How are you managing that (if you don't mind me asking). So far I think I'm the only one that's going LGW-LGW, flight out's ok, but the flight back is late, so lots of loitering around at Grenoble.

Im doing the Luton flight on the 27th ,EZY2423. Think the idea from Igtramp to find out who's on that flight and meet up, is a great suggestion. Who else is on it?
We could meet up at the Easyjet desk or elsewhere in the terminal, but im not wearing fancy dress, that's for the slopes!!

admin, hi admin,
how do we go about paying for the transfer and what is the cost?

Richie rich1, admin will let us know nearer the time. As the numbers grow for the bus, the price goes down so he won't be able to give us an exact figure until quite close to departure. At that point he will put up some buttons for us to press and pay.
According to the main details:

| The cost of the transfer will be at most £42 rtn but should get cheaper as our numbers grow. (hopefully to about £30-35 Wink) |

I just seached EJ for London (All airports) to Grenoble and it offered me various Gatwick/Luton/Stanstead flights. Gatwick's a lot easier for me (I live in Clapham) but despite my world-class loitering skills, I thought the wait for the Gatwick flight was a little too long.

I've just registered a vague interest so that I could see everyone's travel details
I see several of you are planning to get the 10.50am Grenoble to Luton. Admin's opening post says the bus is scheduled to get to Grenoble '..about 10am' so isn't there a danger you'll all miss the flight? And there isn't another Luton flight that day. Is there a contingency plan (I haven't read the whole thread so I may have missed it)?

Red Leon, he subsequently says that the 10.50 flight is absolutely fine...

Mudkicker, I , with my OH, decided the Gatwick return allowed a little nap at the airport (No... we are not old, 31 nd 27). which would be better than being huried to get home, then crashing out and likely killing our monday too..
(though to admit, we also booked it before may others had started jumping on the early luton flight, thinking that for the bus to arive at 11 or so.. like originally planned, we woudl be able to vacate the hotel at like 8 am instead of now 6am...)
c'est la vié
------------------
SO ..... Everyone..
What are everyone's stats?? (Skier or Boarder, ability level, whatever else you think applicable)
Is anyone goung to be taking lessons? (Hoping so as i don't want to abandon grinningsoul when I go out insearch of some morning adrenaline/offpiste)
admin, what sort of rate do you think you can get for that cab on Sunday morning??? (we are in Crouch End)

quadwould, a local firm put a card through my door yesterday offering Luton for £40 (less than most).
There would probably be something extra for coming via yours but it might add up OK.

Hey all!
Im richard, skier.
Very young 47,
Ability: reasonable intermediate, depends on the wind and curvature of the earth!  Cant be bothered to get good as that means getting better equipment!!
1st outing with SH, but been skiing for 12 weeks over 6 years.
Dispite the time on the slopes, not into the, 'them and us, Boarders & Skiers', most of my mates are Boarders, just up for a giggle!!
May have one other who's taking lessons, still awaiting decision.

FAQ
Welcome to sH's 
Done a day at MK dome and two days in Chamonix so far (managed to get down blues and a red before injuring my knee on the last blue of the second day 
). Have been bitten by the bug though so can't wait to get back on the slopes. I'll be looking to get some lessons under my belt in order to up my skills and confidence. Hopefully I'll manage a whole week this time without injury!
