I won't be packing until about half an hour before I leave. It takes me about 10 minutes so I will then have 20 minutes spare :lol:

I know exactly where I keep all my ski stuff (because I put it away in the same place each year after I've washed it etc.) and my passport and paperwork and toothbrush etc. Plus I have a list of everything I need so I won't forget anything.

The next thing I have to do to prepare for this holiday is to buy my Eurostar ticket out there, but they're not on sale yet - shouldn't be long though :D

And if anyone else wants to come with us please let me know.

Are you not coming to Lech with me in February then? :cry:

Good spot, teach me to rush a visit to the site from work.

171 days, 17 hours and a single minute left for you then :twisted:

I have bought my single Eurostar ticket out to Bourg now, from St Pancras for the Saturday day train on January 12th. The full price on the internet was £118 but I got it for £96 with my Ski Club of GB discount.

I will book a cheap hotel in Bourg for Saturday night and get the bus to Les Brevieres early on Sunday morning so that I can ski all Sunday.

I've already bought my EasyJet flight back to Gatwick from Geneva for the following Sunday evening (20th) departing at 9-30 p.m. and costing just under £50.

So, the total cost of my train out and flight back is just under £150, which isn't too bad, but I will have to add in about £50 for the hotel and I've still got to buy my bus ticket from Bourg to Les Brevieres on the 13th, and find a way of getting from Les Brevieres to Geneva on the evening of the 20th. I am still waiting for the bus time-tables and prices to become available.

I've never managed to ski 8 days before, and I should think it will be well worth the extra trouble/expense.

If anyone is interested, I had a quick look just now on the Eurostar website, and half-term direct Eurostar tickets are still available (16th - 23rd February) for £339. Return tickets for 12th - 19th January are only £209.

Ally are you sneaking in some practice before we arrive, you do realise you lose points for that & could cause the welcome drinks to be paid for by you, is skiing before us really worth it :lol:

Your co pilot & I'm getting thirsty already, we could always sabotage Allys transport though. :twisted:

Hey, I didn't know this was supposed to be a race! It's just as well that I will have a head start on you all then :lol:

Catp and I are going for Gold - I bet we're first on the slopes at Les Brevieres :D
