Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi folks, i'm looking for someone who would be interested in being a ski/board bum for this up coming season. i met a dude on this forum last year and had a great season in val d'isere... So i'm a 33 year old male, advanced on piste skier. i would go anywhere (apart from val d'isere) in the world for a min of 6 weeks, but would love to do the whole season.. i'm clean tidy and enough a few beers. skiing is my love so i wont be out clubbing to 5am everynight! so hopefully in might find some like minded people.......

I'm wondering how people afford these types of trips? 2 weeks of skiing almost kills me financially. Sure, I do a lot of other holidays, but ski holidays are sooooooo expensive. Maybe I just don't know the right places..... or really need to get a better job

There's an addage that travelling isn't expensive, it's travelling quickly that's expensive. The same is true of skiing - costs decrease rapidly if you stay longer.
A day pass in the Portes du Soleil costs 46 euros, but a season pass costs 800 euros.
Take a self-catering apartment for 4 weeks and you'll probably only pay for 3. Take it for the season and it'll cost you 8-10 weeks rental, rather than the 12-16 weeks you're there.
If you're there for a season then you (probably) won't eat out or drink every night.

Very true...I was paying less rent the year I spent in BSM than the year before in California. Living the last 3 years in Frisco, CO, I probably spent on skiing similar to what many of you spend for 2 weeks and averaged about 60 days a season (though some were short ones)...a season pass there can be had for £300 or less although I see some just went up $10-20 http://www.snow.com/epic-pass/passes.aspx

So what you are saying is that I have to tell the wife that, in order to save money, we have to go live in the Alps for half the year
