Hmmmm, I'm leaving for Switzerland on Jan 16th, so I could be very happy :D
Picturesque Ski Resort near Geneva

Chamonix can be reached in about an hour from Geneva, though it can be pricey to stay there. A cheaper option might be La Clusaz, or perhaps St Gervais.
Chamonix is good if you have a car, because you can reach the different areas quickly. Cheapest place to stay in Chamonix is probably the Vagabond.

SKI CARRIAGE
Started by User in Ski Chatter, 16 Replies
Thompson flights have been getting some internet attention because they have a really ludicrous ski carriage weight limit of 6kg. Do you have 1 pair of skis in your bag?

You may be asked to prove this at the airport. I really can't see what Thompsons could do, if you have 1 pair of skis in a bag and have paid for carriage for 1 pair, the ski weight is their problem.

Normally, skis are checked in after you have put your suitcase onto the conveyor, by taking them to the outsize luggage desk. The check in staff will tell you where you need to take them.
