Hi easiski and Butterfly,
I'm Stevos's better half! So now that we have booked the trip, how is it best for me to book the lessons?
Really excited about the trip and can't wait to learn. Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Annabel.

chocolatebox, welcome to SH and look forward very much to meeting you in March! You need to be in touch with Easiski to book the lessons - probably best to send her a PM. I will amend the 1st post in this thread to put your name in it too!

chocolatebox, Either send me a PM or better still email me, and we'll sort it from there.

We now only ghave 1 place left in each class for the first week - level 0 - level 1 (gentle) - level 2/3. for the second week we do still have room in level 0.5/1 (3 places), so if anyone has friends or relations who have skied once and either given up or been injured this is ideal for them.

Late starter, Oh that's excellent that you may be able to join us for at least some of the time - I am there 7th-21st! Is there no way that Plymouth can be rescheduled or covered by someone else?

You know it makes sense.

Late starter, Is it also impossible for 14 - 21? There is space in the class with Butterfly, that week. Enjoy your visit.

Late starter, I can book you in. If there's no room at that inn I'll find something else. 2 are staying in Les Melezes and 2 in the Aalborg + twinnies in their apartment. I don't suppose you can bring Sam with you?

The Lutins hotel in Les Deux Alpes is used by a lot of snowheads - and I have been asked detailed questions about it. I think these pictures of a room, and a ski locker, will answer most queries.
Other points:
No hair dryer in room - but if the ladeez (and admin) asked Cathy, she may well be able to help.
My room has a balcony.
There is free wifi throughout the hotel (I fond in had to log in with IE rather than Firefox, - but could use Firefox once logged in).
I am being charged only €3 per night extra for single occupancy.
Bed and Breakfast - no evening meal served.
This is the 3rd time I have been here, I think - I like it a lot. The hotel is the best located in the resort, IMV, it has everything I need, the bar has a delightful French ambience, and Cathy the owner is very pleasant.

It looks as though the last place for the class 2/3 in week 7-14th has now been filled by Red Leon to be fully confirmed of course.

Red Leon, thanks for pointing out that the dates weren't totally clear in the OP - I hadn't noticed that  . I have changed them.
There are quite a few of us flying from Birmingham to Grenoble. Three of us are flying out on Sat 7th and not returning until Sat 21st. Others are doing just one of the two weeks.

Hi Red Leon
You'll arrive a bit earlier than us - so you can book either the same Bens Bus transfer as us or an earlier one - your call! We are on the Ryanair from Birmingham that gets in around 5-ish. I can't remember the exact time, but the Bens Bus site has a list of flights & there is only the one from Brum.

Butterfly,
If my flight gets in on time, I'll try to get the 15.30 bus recommended by Ben's Bus website. Failing that, I'll be with you a bit later.
Just read this on another thread...

| Grenoble airport is great if you fly midweek on a scheduled flight. It should be avoided like the plague on Saturdays now that the TOs use it. Midweek, it's quiet - no-one there, security is easy and quick, luggage pick up is brill. |
Something to look forward to, then.

Red Leon, the poor little airport (and it is little) was getting a rather unfair hammering form Saturday peeps who've never seen it any other time!
