Got really fed up up with the drunken idiots that we came across, the final straw was when one was sick on the coach to resort. Never again. So now I drive, share a chalet with my brother in law and actually get some change out of a couple of grand.
I might consider that in future, but I'm going for my first skiing trip, so I think I will be better off with a tour operator. Also i've had lots of great advice from the forum, namely Tony and AJ.
As for drunks, that's something that not even the tour operators can control.
