Hows the body skirt working Ash?

Looks short? is it because you only have the short window blinds? in the stock pic it goes right to the floor?

Me and Mark (Driving) have just brought a different one.

Boo Hoo!

Home now!

Sorry we couldn't say goodbye to most of you, time was pressing and you were all out in the sun enjoying yourselves!

The skiing was great, thanks to those Funsters who dared to follow us to the slopes! A big thanks to Champers and all too for their seasonal hot drinks selection!
Missing you and the snow already, the only good bit about being back is giving the kids back to their Mum!

If you are still on the slopes, YOU LUCKY, LUCKY B***ARDS!

Hopefully see some of you at Newark!:thumb:

Cheers!

Just been watching meself Rory, 100 MPH a first on that course!!!!! George reckons he can go quicker Maybe off the mountain vertically !!!!!!

I can't wait either.

Got 10 more working shifts, Should of took me skis with me this weekend mind.

 

[Forestboy]

We're on the 8am eurotunnel on the 11th may spend a day or two in Brugges first or head straight down to La Plagne before LM. Make up our mind when we get off the train, never plan much. Pick up the skis at Gloucester from Attwools on the way to Folkestone on the 10th.

 

[edgy]

Me and Lucy have been and booked our skiing lessons for next week at the chill factor. Guaranteed to be on the black run,well that is what they said.Really excited now , i want to go tomorrow

There you go Rory, a few changes since your last visit no doubt.

Do you think we should head to Les M then as opposed to Montgenve? Weather looks good all over, I think the lose plan will be that we head for Les M (unless you think Montgenve would be better, aire with 200 places, but do you think it would be ok for beginer's that are with us and keep me and the Nut job skiers happy for a week).

If we can't all get on at Les M then Im sure we can ring/blag our way in to VT, there's plenty of parking up there and another aire lower down, but LM would be preferable and much cheaper with some possibility of even blagging some electric.

Ski's being waxed & Edged tomorrow, Ian, when you having your ski lesson? could do with a good laugh, I might pop up. I have got some voucher codes for 4 days lesson for £89 at the Chill Factor..... Nikki keeps asking if Shirley is coming? she hopes so as she wants some daytime company, might be some off piste work by them two.


So just because this is on Jon's thread, and I have had to sit there crying for the last few months,

Jon, mate, we're hijacking your thread Don't worry, only another 365 days till you go again......... this is now the

Montgenvre will be fine for learners but you and the boys will be bored sick after a week as would Jan and I. You can ski to Italy in theory but in reality its a hell of a long way and not very exciting skiing. Not a patch on VT, LM or La Plagne, its a place to visit for a few days on a alpine tour rather than spend a whole week.
Just my opinion though

Yeah, ive heard that a few times from different people, will wait for a tour I think....

Do you think I could marry Jan before we go?
I need a discount on a 7 day family pass.

Hi Paul yes Shirls is going dont be daft do you think i would really get away without taking the boss. I know i might think it but thats good enough for her. We are going on Tuesday and Wednesday 29th and 30th for 4 hour lessons starting at 6 till 10. I could do with Knowing where we might end up i was thinking of ordering ski,s to collect at the resort. Would be nice to see red dragon there too:thumb:

Ok ok, I get the picture.

Les M it is. Then worse case scenario is you can pick skis up in resort and still end up at VT, also though you can hire down in Albertville.

Don't worry mate, there's always Alcohol

Im sure your daughter will pick it up fine,
My boys will give her lesson's, first time they would of seen a real girl, they go to all boys school "you know". Can't think they are up for teaching middle aged men though?

I wonder why


If all else fails we will try Rory's trick....

Take you to the top of the mountain, and say "you can walk down or you can ski down or you can stay there all day!"
