Me and Minkers ar 26, but from what I can gather, 20-60 sounds like the age range, and I'm sure we're all up for a laugh, so confirm already!

Hello all it's Danny (Kabby) a bit confused at mo....is this trip confirmed? Can I book my flights? How do I pay for the accom? When is due to be paid?
Sorry about all this just a bit baffled at mo
Anyway me, 50 year old Intermediate snow boarder who should no better! Bit of a fair-weather rider... Not looking to tear it up.... But generally ride all over the Mountain... Like a bit of Après ski and a few beers..and hopefully looking forward to meeting new friends on this trip

kabby, Looks like it might be if flowa has booked flights. Might be worth getting it confirmed before you sort your flights though. As far as paying for the trip, panic ye not. As soon as admin has confirmed the trip is on, buttons will magically appear on the first post for you to click on to confirm that you are coming/what rooming arrangements etc etc. Once you click on those, you will be given some options for payment.

kabby, don't fear - you haven't missed anything. I've gone ahead and booked the travel on the theories: "book and it will happen", "if it happens, I've saved £100+ on the travel by booking now", "if it doesn't happen, I'll pay £100+ extra for accom in the same hotel or somewhere else". Therefore, I figure I've got it covered.

Which means, kabby, that you now need to keep an eye out on the front page of this thread for the buttons to appear - at which point you can part with your dosh (and I promise you, admin won't let you miss them if you've got yourself down on the 'I'm in' list).

Actually the buttons were there all along if U cared to look

I know from experience that even if you've optimistically pushed the 'I might come if I win the lottery/my boss decides to give me extra holiday allowance than I'm entitled to/the planets align in a particularly unusual fashion' button... or even if you just happened to mention in some random conversation that you might go skiing at some point in the next 10 years..... trust me.... admin will give you many, many opportunities to join the trip. |
But then, maybe you get special treatment cos you're special me ol' Boot-bag
| Quote: |
Then.... if you're really lucky.... you'll get all the locations of the lunch stops, info on bootfitting and ski hire, etc etc texts all through the holiday... despite the fact that you are sat in rainy, miserable Blighty.  |
Right, that settles it: you're definitely going on the phone list for this one!
kabby, don't listen too much to Bootsy: she can be really helpful but after a few bombardinos it all gets a bit random - and we're well past bombardino o'clock.
The buttons are already there and you've already pressed them. You opted to pay by bank transfer and would have got my bank details displayed to you. You should also have had an email detailing them for keepsies.
Now u just need to do the transfer. If I could do that bit, I could just empty everyone's accounts and buy an impregnable Bond-villainesque hideout in Switzerland where no-one (except Mr.Bond) could get me.
Everyone:
As you get your travel details sorted, add them to the list (link in the top post). This helps the group to coalesce as best as possible. there may be efficiencies to be gained like sharing cars to airports etc.
Also, go to your personal profile (top left menu) and add your non-snowHeads-name, gender, mobile number and anything else you choose.

New to this, so need some advise.
What's the best way to get from the airport to the hotel?
Should I book the ski pass solo or can admin book in groups?
Equipment hire and lessons etc.
Cheers.

Admin. You reckon you can cancel my booking so I can rebook and pay by bank transfer or paypal instead (I tried digging out my cheque book, but can't find it - I don't even remember the last time I used it). That goes for Minkers too (I'm fronting the cash for him). Cheers.

Swoosh, sorry, I broke the links when I edited the post. Should be fine again now.
Hold off on the transfer bit for the moment. See who else is arriving around the same time (hence the list). There are transfer services if you need to get up there under your own steam but it gets cheaper when more people work together, eg. sharing taxis etc. If enough turn up at the same time we may even be able to arrange a transfer through the hotel operator which would be about the cheapest option.
Again hold off on the pass for now. No promises but we might be able to swing some degree of discount.
Equipment hire: if you're choosy, book ahead with Skiset or Alpinresorts to get significant discounts. If you're just getting going or don't really mind what you ski on, I suspect we'll get a pretty attractive hire deal from the hotel. Their kit is all Salomon, new this season but, not being a hire shop, there's not much choice.
I wont be organising anything in the way of lessons for this trip. Talk about what you're looking for and maybe others will want to go along with you. You might also be wise to ask for advice/recommendations in Bend ze Knees.
eshroom, I've cancelled the payment entries for you two.
Go to your snowAccount (top right) to choose another way to pay.
Choose "Another snowHead" as the payment method in Minkers' account and put in your username. You'll need to confirm, that you agree to this, from your own account.

eshroom how did you get the flights so cheap....is there no ski carriage? I am looking at £200 including 1 bag and skis
|
|
|
|

I figured I'd put all the luggage in a big board bag and hand luggage, so we don't have any other luggage to pay for.

interesting idea....however sports goods only give you 12kg additional weight......not sure I can manage on that weight alone....
|
|
|
|
|

sishaw, you are about to benefit from the results of a particularly long and protracted snowHeads topic which has since been proven 'in the field'.
The most interesting bit is that it's 12kg extra weight on top of your normal weight allowance which is 20kg. However, what many found hard to believe, the 20kg is your allowance whether or not you also book a bag into the hold.
Hence, U can take 32kg of sports goods without paying to book a bag into the hold.
...and just in case U get a check-in girl that doesn't understand that (like I did once), print this page off: http://www.easyjet.com/en/planning/baggage.html
