The boss has just given me the 24th Dec off! I think my new skis have already formed a chorus line with my boots, trousers and jacket because I can hear Bob Gibson's "Talking Skier" coming from the wardrobe. I know they won't shut up until I get something sorted.
I'm told I'm not the worst company and I'm happy to ski with the crowd or just bosh about on my own, whatever works.
Have you got room for one more (budget flex. £450 hopefully incl. tvl) or are there any spare floors, sofas, etc.... out there for these few days? (chip-in & £'s of course). Alternatively, is anyone interested in teaming up to get a twin room somewhere? Top picks are Tignes, St Anton, LDA, ....

I've brushed my teeth, and gargled, so let's try this again.
Hunting around for a deal I've found a twin room in La Tania (3 Valleys) for £384 pp incl TVL – the catered chalet has a hot tub and is really close to the slopes too! (under 100m and only 4-800m into town)
Out 22nd rtn 29th Dec. Flights from Gatwick to Chambery only.
You can decouple the travel costs if you're traveling from somewhere else or you can't go for the whole week, like me. Then the cost is £249.
I'm now hunting down flights and transfers to get me to work on Thursday.
Any takers?

Flowa, did not think it was badly pitched and hope you get some company.
Off somewhere else the other side of the pond on the 22nd so have to decline but good luck.
Also, I sometimes think this area of the forum is not as well visited as others so perhaps drop a hint in Apres and see what happens

Plectrum, I forgot the 'r' but meant travel.
Not sure about the whole cost, I'm still hunting for the right transfers and so forth. It's amazing how complicated/expensive a mid-week return makes things - especially, I suppose, as it's Xmas wk. That's not a grumble though; there's skiing a foot!

Cptsideways, Thanks but I'm all sorted for the train already. I love the train but it definately pays to book early!!! Still the flights weren't that much cheaper (because I wasn't flying the conventional Sat-Sat) and this way I'm getting 5 skiing days (rather than 3 if flying) so all-in-all my per skiing day rate is way down . Have a great break. I don't know St Foy at all - do hope you'll post at bit about it.
