What does this have to do with you starting a new thread?

I was thinking Val this year
but you'll be safe, I tend to go in January.

I wish I could afford a skiing holiday.
I need a new job.

they're getting cheaper
but it's still hard to see any change from a grand for a week in a decent place.

and the rest

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:06, Reply)

yeah, depends
got a 5* chalet in Nendaz last year for £500 including flights (last-minute), £250 for a 4 valleys pass, £200 for booze and lunches and £50 for the robbing shites to ship my skis.

but admittedly that was a better than average bargain year.

mines 1300 including pass (and maybe ski's dunno)
BUT THERES LUNCH ON THE SLOPES MAN

If that's for Val next year
that's a decent deal if it's a good chalet. I only got away with ones like that above because I tend to choose a week to go but only actually book the holiday in the two weeks beforehand. Doesn't work with massive groups, but currently all but 4 or 5 of the people I ski with are incapacitated by children so it's OK.

That's a great idea,
but shit in practice especially if it's something hot because two minutes into eating it, it's ice cold.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:12, Reply)

I think it's lunch on a pass system from slope cafes/ restaurants/ bars

I'd have to buy/rent gear as well, as all my skiing stuff is fucked.
Except my jacket I think.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:10, Reply)

rented boots are a waste of time, so there's £500 already

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:11, Reply)

Mine were in the attic of the place I got evicted from.
Not getting those back.
(PsychoChomp, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:12, Reply)

I'd perservered with rented boots for a few times, but they fucked my legs up something chronic with gashes and bleeding and shit, so I bit the bullett last time and bought some nordics

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:16, Reply)

I spunked £300 on some Nordica Ace of Spades last time out.
Actually, sad times, I threw a fairly servicable pair of XWave 8s out when I got the Nordicas, Chompy could have had them :(

I have negative that in my bank account.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:09, Reply)

at some point in most months so do I
but then I've had a free £1500 overdraft for nearly 20 years now, might as well use it.

you don't know how much this means to me badger

( Light In Chains maker of the ikea sofa, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:05, Reply)

Oh, I can take a good solid punt, Rory old chap.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 14 Aug 2012, 16:06, Reply)

Hey, we could all arrange to go at different times
and totally not meet up.
