holidayloverxx,
Defo interested... I want to do some pre-season practice...no special camps as such, but good fast fun on-piste to get some drills going for the season. I never seem to do enough of this. I would also consider the PSB...or whatever form that comes in this year.

Outward on 11th December (thursday) is good for me. The idea is that you get an early evening flight, the transfer is pretty late to be honest because it is the return journey after the drop offs at Geneva (but it is included) and you arrive at the chalet around 2.00 am (ish).
Ski Fri/Sat/Sun and then get the transfer back late afternoon on Sunday for late evening flight back
I will PM Joanne at Mountain Sun.

Full details of the camp will be available within the next couple of weeks - the finer details being ironed out this week and the website will be launched in a couple of weeks time. Capacity will be increased this time to cope with demand a little better and we will, therefore, be running two buses daily. Transfers usually ready to leave Geneva 19:30 (arriving around 22:30) or 21:30 (arriving after midnight) but exact timing depend on demand for the day.
Hopefully we will be ready to get this on sale by mid/end of May. It will run through October, November and much of December...
You can email me at mountain.sun:virgin.net if you wish to go onto our mailing list (if you're not already on it) as details will go out to the list before any advertising goes ahead.
Regards
Joanne

rayscoops, one has to consider transfer bus space though. Nothing stopping peeps doing a car share, but that adds to the cost.

i think last year the weekends cost a bit more than £99, anyone know how much?
|

I'd be up for something in September or October, I won't be around in December.
|

|

Ooooh - me, me, me!!!
Due to other commitments (probably a winter trip diving in the Maldives or similar to keep SWMBO happy, life's tough  ) I probably won't be able to squeeze in the regualtion two ski trips next winter. Something like this would be a great little filler.
Early December should be OK with me.
Jon.

Roger C, we need to wait for Joanne to get back to us in a couple of weeks when the pricing is set. There is a basic price of £99 and variations can/will include weekends, single supplements, pricing of lift pass if it crosses the early/mid season cut off but the actual variations can't be set till the Mountain Sun management have met later this week.

holidayloverxx, Thanks for that, either of those weekends would suit me. I'll probably be alone so if there's anyone else looking to share.

well, I'd certainly like to go. COst seems reasonable - but getting to and from geneva airport is the hard bit 
|
|

|
|

|
|

nbt, not when the mini-bus transfer is included in the price (or do you mean by plane?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I mean by plane. We live near Manchester airport, but it appears we normally have to travel half way across the UK to get a direct flight to geneva 
BTW on our trip last week we net a very nice lady who came out on the boot camp last year and had nothing but praise for the people of Mountain Sun
