have to admit, i havent done the sums, i jumped into it pretty blind, though just had my eyes opened looking at liift pass prices  - seems to be the scariest bit. $750 for a month shared room in condo, and despite the exchange rate, looks like shopping / bar peices still quite a bit cheaper than eurozone high alt resorts. So i admit, i dont know the answer, sorry, but i know itll be worth it!
Any tips on getting a discounted lift pass would be totally appreciated!

bitoffluff,
Ah - the tip on getting a discounted lift pass would have been to have bought it by the 11th October (early bird pricing), well in fact before mid july it was super cheap, but heh.... It'll still be cheaper to buy a season pass if you are doing more than about 3 weeks or so, as you also get discounts on food in the mountain places, etc (not beer unfortunately!). If you work out for your lenght a full season pass is too much, then a 15-day season pass would probably be cheapest, the extra days are then charged at edge card rates (cheaper than full whack by about $20 a day) and you still get the discounts - plus it's much better to have a season pass (of some variety) than a "tourist ticket" of course! 
parlor, Indeed (subject to getting through the legal stuff okay), you'll be able to tell because I will be scavenging the free food in the roundhouse (on the crackers and ketchup diet!) All going well we'll be moving in in the middle of december, apparently we have a local there too and shouldn't be too far from your local In the mean time I need to make the most of my downtown location (whilst avoiding being shot!) so if you fancy a beer this way let me know. I have a local mobile number at long last - I'll email it to you
