 Poster: A snowHead
|
Will be "coming back" to Les 2 Alpes on 28th Feb. It has been a while and this time we have a computer! I've really been spoiled by arc 1950 and wonder if there is any free wifi or if not where to go for reasonable connection charge.
We are staying in the Crystal La Brunerie and wonder if there is any advice or just any general tips that any snowhead can give..... please!! The accomodation is half board.
I am going there with a friend of my wife's husband so I am trying to convince him to have lessons ( I fear we are different abilities. I am an Ok 55 year old intermeadiate with 30-40 holidays under my belt but not quite as agile as I was!) He has skied for 1 week with his daughter in La Ros (last year). a year younger than me but I think fairly fit and determined.
I must admit I enjoy crunching miles. If I cannot persuade him to go to ski school (he is not keen on the cost!) does Ski Club GB still do daily escort and (if so) is it still better to join in resort (they used to throw in a second years membership.)
Sorry for such fragmented questions.
Alun

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

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

Red Frog has wifi, but is miles from the Brunerie.
No SCGB reps in 2Alpes.

Yes they do....but unfortunately no longer in Les Deux Alpes. Alpe d'Huez is the closest repped resort.

easiski, I will email crystal for the wifi info on the Brunerie. I have just come from the Welsh Championships in Champery and then the British Schoolgirls in Flaine and had little or no joy with reasonable price connection to internet!
I totally agree that classes are the real way forward. Indeed, if I could convince him I would enjoy (different) lessons myself - in these circumstances. Apparently, he ran ahead of the group all the time and that cheesed the remainder of the class off - quite rightly. Can you help me sell the idea to him? Perhaps you could give me an idea of cost, time of day etc. I think he believes he will gain ground because I have skied a few weeks and my children race. He needs an instructor not a parent that watches racers!

Alun Williams, I think the Lutins will be happy for you to use their wifi if you buy a beer or 2.
