Yes. My mate's Chalet is due to finish being built in 6 weeks, so my 2 week holiday will be costing me £65 for the Flights and then just however much I spend on food. Plus I can go there whenever I like.

I love freebies!

lol at mad dr! my mate brought a place in courchevel last year! some what reduces the cost of skiing tho don't forget the small matter of a lift pass unless you are just planning on spending all your time in The Morris/Dicks/Banana bar/Saloon Bar * delete as appropriate!

Have a good one only 3-4 months before the snow starts falling I can't wait!

You and everyone else have a great time too!

I have my itinerary all worked out:

Day 1: Arrive, have a drink, down a slope, crash and break something inside me.

Day 2 - 14: In the bar.

Day 15: Home.

Can't wait!

I'll be going up to Blue Mountain in Ontario a few weekends this winter.

I don't need any equipment, just some decent technique.

They used to have a slope with a ski lift built by the Americans at Goose Bay, or near Happy Valley anyway. Wonder if thats still going.

At the very least it was a barrel of laughs with aircrew trying to learn how to ski

Yep, Feb, looks like anyway, courtesy of the in-laws, no way could I afford for the 5 of us (Me, Wife and three kids) to go ski-ing, been to Les Gets twice though not this year so it will be a shock, need to get fit again.

Borovets (Bulgaria), cheap cheerful plenty to do in the evening. Skiing I guess would be good / snowboarding OK cheapness makes up for walking / taxi from end of piste to lift.

Going back with the lads next year. Went this year for a stag do, was a good laugh.

Had a look at the GB ski club page on Bulgaria and it isnt very complimentary, dont fancy walking carrying four sets of skis which is what usually happens !
