2010-11 Winter Plans

When we went to ADH last year we booked our holiday 10 months before but only booked the insurance two weeks before.

We had nightmare problems in ADH but the insurance offered us compensation for what we had in the policy no problem.

We didnt claim because it was better to pursue the Airline direct, in which we were successful so I have to disagree with Bandit but only based on my experience.

Sorry it was this year we went, seems like an eternity ago.

Hi All,


I'm glad you are all getting excited about the approaching season.....bit like waiting for santa to come......

I have been watching the Tour de France and the mountian stages always give me itchy feet to get back to the alps :D . I'm hoping to have a long weekend myself at the beginning of September and again in Oct/Nov then onto the winter propper.

Should be able to get some slope time in January and then for the last couple of weeks of the season in April :thumbup:.

On a different note, if anyone is planning to be in Bourg-Saint-Maurice or Les Arcs anytime , and want to see a really good live band ( they play a good 2 - 3 hour set of top covers ) try and see Mr Orange ( Monsieur Orange ) at the Bazoom Riders Cafe/bar in BsM , you can check the live band dates on their cafes website.....it's a great night.

........oh well back to work now and , and daydreams of the alps :D

Hi Tino ,

Congratulations and good luck with the property search.....wish I was in the mountains at the mo.....instead of working to pay for the CNC Punch my business partner and myself have just brought :thumbup: :thumbdown:......

Hows the situation in Switzerland with property etc , last time i looked you got a lot more for your money than say France and Italy.....mind you they haven't got the Euro to contend with I suppose and I think the job situation is safer also at present.


Happy times ahead my friend inded , enjoy :D :D
