Im not in but what Chalet is it & what Company & I will tell you if they are crap, really crap or direstraits?
How long is the trip i.e nights versus days skiing ?
|
|
|

|

Why, aren't there any OK, good or excellent ones stanton?
It's a week ie. 7 nights. 9AM dep from Gatwick so if all goes well we might get half a day on the slopes on Sun. So 6 or 6 1/2 days snowTime.
Would this help Nick?

Dear Nick's Boss,
Nick can't come to work today because he feels a bit funny.
He keeps having funny turns and then falling over.
He'll probably take about a week to get better.
Love from Nick's Doctor. |

9am dept Gatwick into Innsbruck you may get an hour on slopes. Zurich or Munich no chance.
There are probably OK & Good or Excellent but you will pay alot more than £250.
Genrally the cheaper end hire crap to useless chalet staff imported from Australia,Sweden,UK,Denmark whos only mission is to ski & drink. Turnover of staff in these places is HIGH.
Pesonally I hate the Chalet concept. First of all you do not know who your going to end up sitting round the table with & once your there your pretty much stuck with it all week. 99.99% of the time all the clients are people from your own country. Theres no social interaction with others nationalities,cultures etc.
Worse of all is, that these Chalet companys take vaulable revenues away from the locals. I know people will say that the Chalet Staff buy there produce locally but this is generally from a multinational chain (Spar) and no locals see this.

Well aren't we a little ray of sunshine this afternoon stanton?
Obviously one would normally have to pay far more than £250 for a package like this, the brochure price is well over double this. We are benefiting from the fact that the departure date is so close. I'm going with a few friends anyway but I ws offered a bit of a bonus if I filled the place. The company has a good rep and as someone who has many years experience of skiing on the cheap, I have no doubt that it's a bargain.
I've used chalets a great number of times and have never found myself at a table with anyone I was unhappy to share a meal with; perhaps I'm less choosy than u

Well, this is the same old global economy / international movement of labour bah blah that can spring up in any thread at the drop of a hat and I'd rather this topic wasn't diverted in that direction, thank you.
But, as far as interaction with other nationalities goes, I know that I, a Brit, will be there with a Kiwi and an Indian at the very least so I think 3 continents covered so far isn't bad eh?
Anyway, thank you for your offer to appraise our accommodation for next week but I somehow get a sense that you wont give me quite the most objective opinion - I'll pass on your regards to Spar

Sorry Admin would really love to but I can't see how I can get back in time to be at Manchester Airport to go out on the 22nd at 08:00 to Saas Fee! Anyway I'm in St Anton in March so you can give a good update on where the best runs are and which chairs kep your backsides warm. Good luck in getting your ten how many have you got so far.

This is a really good offer. i was shopping around until the beginning of the week and St Anton was very expensive. Going to Three Valleys instead.

Incidently all the locals are going on about how good the snow is in the Eastern Tirol,Salzburg (Kitzbuhul,Soll,Saalbach etc) |
That's really good to hear but they'd better not be all coming over to try it out next week! Bit concerned it hasn't snowed in Saalbach since 3 Jan although there are good depths there and the temps have been cold.
