 Poster: A snowHead

Dear All Snow Heads,
I have recently booked a Ski'ing holiday for me and my girlfriend as I was told by my work that I'd be finishing my contract at the end of December. Unfortunately for me, now my work has told me that I will be needed till late early Feb!.
When I tried to cancel the holiday the tour operator told me I'd loose my deposit. So.. Instead of loosing my deposit i'd loose less money by paying for a name change.
Therefore i'm selling my holiday!!! 
The holiday is on the 24th of Jan for 7 nights.
Spent quite a while finding this deal, and it was cheap as I booked early.
The price I want is £600 per person.
This price includes everything - flight (from Gatwick), hotel (half board - breakfast and dinner), transfers, ski passes, lessons (everyday) and equipment hire (ski's and boots). The only thing you will have to pay for will be your lunch and aprés ski drinks.
(Please note the ski passes are beginner passes and can be upgraded to all of the piste for an additional £30 pp.)
Here's some more details.
The resort is called Val Thorens in France which is on the Three Valleys. I think it's one of / if not Europe's highest ski resort so there will be no shortage or snow, and it's supposed to have pretty good night life too.
The Hotel is called;
Hotel Les Trois Valleé
As I said before it's Half Board (breakfast and dinner) - the hotel is supposed to have really good food, according to the reviews at trip advisor, and it's also close to the slopes.
The room is currently booked for a double bed, but as the hotel is fairly big you should be able to change it to a twin if needed.
Here's a link to a review of the hotel.

I booked it through Neilson tour operators.

Please let me know if you are interested, first come first serve and all of that.
Hope to hear from someone soon,
Andrew.

I just amended my foolish mistake, but it appears to be taking some time to hit.
The holiday is for 7 nights from the 24th of Jan.
Sorry Snow Heads.

I see now that I have fallen for a ingenious prank.

"ingenious prank" sounds like rhyming slang... "I'll be with you in 10 minutes, I'm just going for a quick ingenious"
There are an awful lots of 'prankers' on this site, although I think to be fair 99% of the posts above were from people who were genuinely interested to find out the dates.
Well, maybe 98%...

is all beginner skiing not free in france this year using just the nursery slope lifts? And the £30pp will surely be per day as well
sounds like a good deal though.
