Hi, Is there anyone else going from Manchester?
Also I've only been skiing twice before and not for a few years so im probably a beginner really, is anyone else at that level? I'm wondering whether I would need more than 2 hours lessons per day?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

When is this to be booked? Should I book flights now?
What is the situation with room sharing?
Sorry for all the questions!
|

You can book flights yes - a few people already have.
I'll line you up with room-mates of a similar gender - we don't have many twins though. Mostly triples.
I need to get the sign-up buttons sorted for this but I've been busy with the SOPiB and the competition etc.
The deal's all sorted though, hotel all booked and everything.

Great thanks. I'm happy to share a quad or triple don't mind! Not done anything like this before hence all the questions! Will get the flights booked now.

@admin, may as well ask about this one too, since it is the only one I haven't.
I know its open to beginners but is it going to be challenging for the more advanced too, I have not skiing Livigno (actually in Italy at all) so just curious?

@Dzmarc, there's decent skiing to be had, yes.
If there are a few of us up for it, I'm up for getting a guide for a day or two to get out there and explore a bit.
We'll also have the BU5 4 DUB at our disposal which gives us a bit of flexibility for day-trips. For example, I quite fancy checking out St Moritz, which is only about 40 mins away I think.

I wondered the same a few days ago. In the top right of your screen your snowAccount should indicate how much to pay. Click on the hyperlink then choose method of payment. If you use online banking then bank transfer is easiest, Paypal charge is a little steep. If you choose bank transfer then click ok or whatever the button states then the next page will give you Graham's account details.
I'm getting tempted to sign up for this one also but need some challenge. I'll discuss with Graham next week.

Is anyone else booked on the BA flights?
17.01.15 LGW 07:25 -> FDH 10:00
24.01.15 FDH 10:50 -> LGW 11:30
The Monarch flights that DanMcDan has booked are about the same, but I can get 50.00 off BA using Avios.

Will we get a message when the buttons go up or do we just have to keep checking here?
I'm booked from Manchester. £88 all in, which is less than it was coming up for just last week.

Yes, no probs @adithorp - anyone on the list will be informed directly.

@nosgni, you said above that there are 3 of you interested.
If this is the case, make sure the others are all set up with their own snowHeads accounts as they'll need to be snowHeads in their own right to sign up to the week - and anyway, it feels nice to be a snowHead

@ITBeast, I have just booked the same flights! Looks like it will be a flight, with Iski as well.
I am going to Gatwick the night before, staying in the Travelodge.
They have an offer on now, last day today, 30% discount on the regular price if you use code SAVING30 at the checkout. See MoneySavingExpert

Is anyone else taking their own skis?
Or just boots? Can't decide if it's worth the extra £50!

Going to try the hire ones, don't think it'll make much difference for my level of skiing.

I'm undecided about skis. I have this debate every trip and things would have been easier if I'd never bought ski's.
On one side it's not just the £50 carrige, but also lugging them about through check-in, transfer etc then getting them serviced when I get back. On the other hand we don't know yet how much an upgrade from basic ski's will be and with your own you don't have the hassle of going to the shop and can have a relaxed beer instead.

@adithorp, Good Point, I do like the idea of beer though.
On a different note, is anyone travelling from the west midlands area?

Hi All,
I just joined the forum looking for a trip. This looks great! I am a boarder though, so was wondering if there are any other boarders coming on the trip or any opinions on these slopes for boarding?
Cheers

I've been a little out of touch with this thread, but after thinking I couldn't make this trip, it's now looking more likely. And it's a little known fact that I'm actually a boarder. Had a bit of fun in the couple of days we were there last season just cruising around and popping off the side of the piste, but there seem to be a lot of more interesting options too. Can't see what's not to like.

Are there still places left. Looking at the buttons I count 15 individuals plus 3x 2's making 21?
I've got a mate wanting to come. He's new to skiing and this seems the perfect first trip. I've sent him a invite.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Yes @adithorp, still good. Sending the invite is a good move as he will need his own snowHeads ID to sign up.
