 Poster: A snowHead
|
the title pretty much sums it up. i'm doing an instructors course in val d'isere next season, i'm interested to know how much it should cost for me to live. i should start by saying that accommodation is included, and so are 5 evening and breakfast meals a week. how much should i expect to be spending on food/alcohol for the rest of the time? so far i've estimated around 1,500 pounds. i'm going to be out there for 15 weeks - is this not enough...at all?
thanks

pdx, that rather depends on how much you drink and where you get it from, doesn't it? Personally I could eat and drink all week on that sort of money and still have some left over at the end of it, but I'm not in the habit of getting trashed in the bars every night.

What course runs for 15 weeks?

I think I would want to take enough so I could have a social life. Sitting in a small box room drinking supermarket beer for 15 weeks would be my idea of hell.
I'd take £3k and if you bring some back that's a bonus.

the course actually only runs for 11 weeks, but you get a free months accommodation at the end with basecamp. this has reminded me that food is not included then.

yeah i think i'm going to need to take a lot more, especially considering food isnt provided at the end of the course.

You basically have Half Board for 5/7 nights. I would usually expect to spend £250/ week on top of H/B. I eat on the mountain and enjoy a few drinks in the evening, but am not into getting trashed.
If it were me I'd take at least £3K.
