Emmeline, a few of the regulars are already booked. About half of the people I went out with last year are going again, so you'd be in good company. I think you know Simon G. I'm doing the PSB instead and will be balancing I/O and sH trips for a while. You can see who else is booked on I/O trips if you look at the calendar.

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

little ms spock - ooooh, blimey! Will have to have a think. Where is this calendar of which you speak?

Emmeline, go to the I/O home page and click on the calendar icon (top right, ish) then click on the event and see who has signed up (First Name and initial of Surname only).
Bashes are fun! Really, really fun. You should give it a go. Bring the bf. There are plenty of people to keep you both busy.

Emmeline, I'm booked on the IO trip as are a few other snowheads, linds for example, alleged cathy might be making it as far as gatwick just to delay our flights a bit..
There's a private fb group running on the trip already, so if you know any of the aforementioned then they'll let you know the secret passcode, don't both asking Rob or Scott as we haven't invited them yet

Ooooooh....... cathy, yes, I do know you (kind of!). But you're not going so I still don't know anyone other than Simon. Hmm.... October one, that's tempting too, though don't think I'll be able to get away from work then as got a holiday in September. What was the October one like, better skiing than June I guess, but colder in the afternoon?!

You know it makes sense.

Emmeline, I don't know Simon who's going but everyone else who is booked is very nice, I was on the March trip to the Dolomites with them. Have we met? Sorry if we have, I'm pretty bad with real names & sH names....
Skiing in October I guess really is dependant on the weather. I went on the 2010 trip and we had great conditions, fresh snow before we arrived, a top-up whilst we were there, lifts running. But if the weather is bad with strong winds, the cable car can shut down. I think from memory we were able to ski until about 3.30 each day, so a pretty good day's skiing.

cathy, I don't think we've physically met (or maybe we have at the Fridge, but I'm just as bad at working out names!) but we chatted a bit on the other thread about the Tignes summer trip (and some other threads), and you had a look at my FB photos (viewable cos you're friends of a friend) - so I kind of class that as knowing you  I think!
Ah yeah, always the weather! Hmm... not good if the cable car shuts down, guess you'd be scuppered then! I only did the 3 days last year (June) and didn't do much skiing on the last day cos there was a blizzard, and I stupidly hadn't taken a waterproof jacket! A handful of the others stayed out though, the truly hardcore Wow, 3:30!! We had to stop around 1pm, cos it got too slushy, but then we had the afternoon to get up to all sorts of jiggery pokery Great, I'll have a look at your photos a bit later on, thanks

little ms spock, flip - I can't get to the PSB - no flights either on the 1st or the 4th Dec from airports near me (Telford). Didn't really want to have to go down to London. Have tried B/Ham, Manchester, Bristol & Liverpool. The 4 day session would have been ideal too, as I'm actually having to scrape leave together to manage a full week! Curses!

Emmeline, ah yes, I 'know' you in that way  Yes, I think the funicular stopped running at 3.30 in Oct. The snow hadn't got slushy at all by then.

Emmeline, if you're registered for the PSB you should be able to see the Travel Details, there are a few people travelling from Manchester and Luton isn't that far from the Midlands. The only downside for me is that I'll be doing Tignes twice in a row.

Definitely a good option. That's my preferred route these days for flights to Geneva.
