ski/snowboarding trip

I can't make that weekend I will have to book a lesson on my own one time.
I can then catch up with the rest of you on your second lessons Im sure you will need more than one

I would be up for the board lesson too can give you the money on Monday at Striders , Zeb

I'm in for a 'recreational session'...

Right 3 snowboarding lessons are available on Saturday the 27th at 9:30 PM if this is all good then I'll go ahead and book it.

Greetings from France, Le Mans to be precise! I have booked two boarding lessons at 9:30pm. Anyone else is welcome to tag allong for a recreational session at 21GBP for the hour or 35GBP for 3 hours (7pm to 10pm)! It would be good if you let me know if you are coming tho. See you all there for some fun on the snow !

was a fab evening , great fun , I'm hooked
Going to book up next lesson as soon as poss..
Thanks for the intro Zeb, well recommended , everybody should have a go.

Its free lessons for ski-ing and boarding this weekend so give them a ring (only for certain times)

When are we going again? Ive got free reign on slope now, some new skills to practice and have a free recreation session to use up

Any news on a trip to play in the snow?

I've found some vouchers can use for rec ski-ing but it depends when everyone can go whether I tag along

If you are talking about a trip away to the mountains, then I'm ashamed to admit no . I'm still interested, and I know a number of other people are!

Basically if a club trip is going to happen I need to get myself sorted and organize it :S! Tho as you have probably guessed by now I could do with some help with this!

Probably the first place to start is to sort out when and where! I have a few suggestions/ideas. I think avoiding the school holidays would be good, but there may be others that are stuck with school holidays. So if you are still interested and haven't given up on me organizing anything, then pleas post when you would like/can go and where (if you have any preference). Plus any help would be greatly appreciated !

Sorry for my distinct lack of project planning skills!

I guess I should post that I want to go !
Where ? somewhere with very big hills with snow on plus some lifts to get to the top
I think I would rather go somewhere that isn't too huge as in getting lost out on the mountain or as in double black diamond how big are your balls slopes

The first two weeks in March are best for me as Im away in January as well. Its after the brat holidays but before easter

Im happy to go on a package deal as it doesn't look cheap booking everything separately as there isn't that many cheap flights this year especially for Saturdays when most chalets have there change over days plus the transfer costs if its not included

Maybe somthing to think of is to just set a date to go then book a last minute package deal, depends on numbers though may not all get in the same digs

If you are thinking of keeping it 'real' with some stonking apres ski....then try Chamonix.

Have a look at the vagagond (Google it). A really good atmosphere, good food, happy hpur and loads of people to ski / board with. I went there about 5 years on the trot. Its about €35 / day for B&B and evening meal.

Also, as its independant, you can book Easyjet flights on your own, and they'll even sort transfers from Geneva.

Its a bien venue !

historically the end of march has seen good snow in chomonix :- http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Chamonix/hindcasts/2008-03-24/mid I'd prefer to go after the 16th as I'll be doing the bath half marathon.

I guess no one wants to go play in the snow then
