 Poster: A snowHead
|
I started skiing 20 years ago, going with a group of people who I mostly didn't know. This trip was independently organised by a guy named Rob Tambini.
This trip has now been going on ever since (and before I joined it). It's been a very large group, up to 361 souls on a trip to Chateau D'Oex, and many thousands must have been on one. He did have a high return clientele showing the popularity of the thing, lots still going strong.
Anyway, anyone been with this group, and where and when. (Any imposters will soon be spotted as I went on most of them)!!!

I certainly haven't, but Rob Tambini sounds like an essential snowHead!

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

Sorry, misread the topic, thought it was the plural of Tambourine. I find skiing with one helps my rythym

David@traxvax, How have you drummed up business, you passing on bodies to him or vice versa? How do you know the guy then. I know he has a lot of contacts in the industry as he needs large blocks of beds/flights and usually has direct contact at higher levels with the travel companies.
The web site for La Rosiere doesn't look too healthy at the moment, glad I'm headed to La Thuille (not for 5 weeks though, so all could change).

I asked the guy about the number of people that he has taken and the answer is as follows:
Anyway, the answers are as follows: La Thuile will be my 51st big trip and
its some 4,000 people/visits. I have not managed to calculate how many
"different" people but I should think that its somewhere around 750+. We
have skied in 8 Countries (Austria, Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Slovenia,
Switzerland and USA).
I know some on this site seem to earn a living out of skiing, but can anyone compare with these numbers as a hobby. The only country that I missed out on above was Norway. We have Scandinavians come skiing on the trip and I figured if they travelled to get better skiing in then what was the point of me going there. Plus I like my beer and I'd heard bad reports on the price of grog up there.
