 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie here so thought I would call by and say hello - can't believe I just found this forum!
Unfortunately no skiing for me this year  Something about having to pay for a wedding next year my better half tells me... But gives me plenty of chance to plan a good trip for the year after!
Guess I'll just have to ski vicariously through everyone on here!
All the best
Weevil

I do despair when even keen skiers want to spend such ridiculous sums on their weddings that they can't afford to go skiing. Don't they realise that, with global warming, it might be nothing but summer beach style holidays before long? You don't need to have a ski wedding (a bit tough on the family and friends) but what's wrong with a ski honeymoon? Nice simple wedding, have all the friends and family, don't do competitive.... then loads of cash left for a ski honeymoon.

pam w, don't panic.
According to the OECD report, "Climate Change in the European Alps", even with a 4 degree average rise in temps, 83% of stations in the Swiss Valais will still be able to provide 100 reliable days of snow cover per season.
I agree about the weddings though.

honeymoons used to be a really, really big deal - if you'd never done it before! But now, when most people have been living together for yonks anyway, making a big production out of a "honeymoon as opposed to any other holiday" seems a bit pointless. Especially if it leads to missing out on a ski trip.

EvilWeevil, welcome along.
Don't forget that if you start having sprogs that could also mean winters without skiing - I missed out last year cos my wife was due in Feb - bad timing, so plan properly; and I'm only getting a long weekend this year cos I don't wanna be away from the family for too long!
Gotta get the boy into skiing early!

Went skiing for my honeymoon and there was no way that kids were stopoing me skiing either, though they restrict what you can do a bit.

FAQ
The family are off for a 2 week holiday in Meribel in March and as they have a big apartment booked we can go and stay for free, so some sort of skiing for next year at least, tho think the whole 2 weeks is out cos of lift pass prices... but def no skiing in wedding year.... We did think of putting off the honeymoon for 6 months to go to Canada (I suugested he could treat me to the Vancouver Olympics and some skiing in Whistler 
) - but kind of seems like we should really have the honeymoon straight after the wedding, otherwise I guess it's just another holiday really....
and mum wants to ban plastic racing at the start of the 09 season in case I end up walking down the aisle covered in cuts and bruises 
might try and get her to buy me body armour for xmas as a compromise
