 Poster: A snowHead
|
Friends of ours (parents of a girl who's in preschool with our son) have booked in Brides les Bains for half term.
The kids like each other and we all get on very well together so in principle it would be cool to join them. But I would much prefer to be in a resort rather than down in the valley. Their reason for booking Brides was cost - they said they paid around 800 Euros instead of 2k in Meribel for a similar room. Of course, I'd have suggested something entirely different which would maybe split the difference, such as Val Cenis maybe, or Montgenevre, or perhaps Livigno (they're Italian). They don't need the full 3V domain (and I assume it would be very busy at half-term - well, the last week of Feb as that's when our school breaks).
What would you do? Go with them, convince them to cancel if they still can, go somewhere else this year?

@horizon, I'd go with them and definately would not try to get them to change their mind (if there is the slightest thing wrong with your suggestion they will blame you). If they are going to France during the 3rd week of half term it's going to be busy, very busy everywhere and one of the most expensive weeks of the year. Use the time sitting in the telecabine to relax and chat and do not grumble at all about anything.

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

Agree with johnE. The Telecabin ride up the hill is perfect time for Breakfast. The journey back time for chat about the day.
Go with your friends and tell them how clever they were.

@horizon, if I was in your shoes, it would depend on how many ski strips I had planned that season.
If it was just the one, I’d be unlikely to want to compromise on it at all.
If I had 3/4 booked, I’d be more likely to go along with them.
So, as always, “it depends” is the answer.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm not sure it's that sort of holiday!

@horizon, as with others a lot "depends".
If you normally or were planning to go HT I would go with it, as it's not a bad option.
