 Poster: A snowHead
|
hi
seriously thinking of going boarding and skiing for 6 weeks a year dec to jan .
escape the rat race.
curious if anyone does this? wouildnt mind a place where i could work a few evenings a week to pass the time , meet folk etc? cheap accommdation is also a must . probably thinking of europe as cheap flights , easy to get home for few days at xmas etc and more cash left for room etc
but would love canada if theres places where maybe a evening job is poss and decent price for hotel. 2.5 k max budget
cheers dave

It's doable, but not good money-wise.
For 6-weeks you'll prob be better getting a season pass for a few extra they often give away (complimentry days elsewhere) but you wont acctually save much, if anything, on slope time. Because you are planning Dec-Jan you'll take in New Year so Chalet/Appartment owners won't reduce much around those few weeks even if you are booking up for an additional 3-4 weeks.
If your happy to bum about and only buy day passes on bluebird days or freshies you can cut the costs down, but helps if you know others in the town to get half a days work here and there to beat the bordom if nothing else!
There are better choices in order to get the most from your money!

And why would you waste six weeks in resort just to do that?

Because the OP state's he wants to get away from the rat race. I myself often only buy day passes, if I wake up and it's really shitty I'll go visit friends maybe do a shift in a bar in return for a few beers.
As I said I think there is better ways of spending 2.5K than being in one resort for 6 weeks, that is what I'm trying to get across to the OP.
Do you have anymore useful info for this thread Lizzard? Oh sorry...I've just realised you've not actually put any info into it!?!
