It basically boils down to whether I am sensible or not - Do I be sensible and accept my old job back and just do a few weeks skiing in Canada or do I do a full season working as an instructor in Canada?
The major dilemma being I may not have a job to come back to if I do a full season......

Canada is not the issue nor is going skiing its just for how long! :-D


Brimster, this is a no-brainer. Are you likely to get an opportunity like that again? Way back, when I was doing something a bit similar to you, was travelling roud the outback in a ford transit, with two pairs of skis strapped up to the van ceiling, and surrounded by kangeroos, emus and snakes. Plan was to drive/work our way around aussie, and end up with a season skiing. Then go to NewZealand buy a couple of horses, and ride down through the north and south island, before flying to the USA west coast, and crossing the USA by cheap ticket Greyhound. Due to illness, it didn't work out.

There are times when common sense applies, and you are not in one of those times. Make dreams, and follow them. You will easily get a job when you get back.

Well young lady, you will have company on 2nd March, and you may have company during w/c 16 Jan, when I plan to be in a village 10 min from Hopfgarten.

As I now have a fantastic new job to look forward to, I'm finally in a position to book next year's trip(s). :D

Having spent ages looking on the net at just about every resort under the sun, I think we have almost decided on Arabba for a week in January. The reports on various threads have been really helpful so thanks to everyone who has written and posted photos. Our preferred accommodation is Chalet Brigitta so if anyone has stayed here any information would be appreciated.

My next problem is deciding where to go for a second week in March as I have such a long list of places I want to try!

Almost. Don't know if I can say where though. :mrgreen:
It's only a slope.

Hi All,

Shiny new forum member here!

Great forum. I'm just gutted it's taken me this long to find it :-(

I'm off with a group of around 20 to Bardonecchia first week in Feb. I haven't been there before but the Bardonecchia thread here makes it look promising. We've been to Sauze a couple of times and enjoyed it there. Hopefully this will be similar.

Hi Mekka and welcome to J2ski 8) . I've been to Bardonecchia and really enjoyed my stay there. It was many years ago, and the resort has benefited from modernisation as a site for the Winter Olympics since then.
Group of 20, you'll have a great time :D

Mr Admin Sir*, this site is usually at the top of searches result pages, are your SEO's slipping?

*Ski Show coming up....must keep the boss sweet )
