There has been a bit of interest in getting together as a group to actually go skiing :D

Zermatt is on quite a few "must go" lists for members, and also has confirmed fans here on the forum.
As a group, we will need to decide, the usual stuff, when, where, what type of accommodation, how long, and how much.

Hmmm Poll Q's have not turned out quite as I anticipated :roll: :lol:

Plan B.....write your answers in the thread please :D

8 man chairlift a go-go here in Zermatt, no wind, blue skies and an extra hour in bed which confused the hell out of me earlier.

I vote we all form a co-op and buy a chalet in Zermatt then we can all come and go as we please :)

Nice idea Tino, have you got the money? :D

It would be a no-go for me under Swiss Law :roll:

I see peeps up at Plateau Rosa on the webcam :D

Tino, watch out for the crevasses near the top of the chairlift, they are quite close to the marked run, both sides )

A good idea but to organise it would be a nightmare ........ maybe a weekend would be the way to go 8)

Long weekend at a hotel perhaps? Folks could book in for the number of days they want?

Then, find a hotel which will accept -7 day bookings in season! Tino may have the knowledge here.

A week stay would not be a nightmare to organise, as the accom gets booked and paid for, and folks make their own travel arrangements. Arrival is by train, as Zermatt does not allow visitors cars to enter.

Hub airports are Geneva and Zurich generally.

I'll leave my 2010/2011 season schedule clear - not that I'm expecting it to be particularly full of winter breaks :cry:

Count us in.
