Ugh, egg yolk, milk and muesli all dripping out the bottom of my back pack. No thanks :twisted:




And two mushed up bananas that always seem to end up in my back pack, nothing else, my wife seems to always grab a couple after breakfast,and they are always there at the end of the day :D

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a sandwich made with toast, and cheese in the middle of it. The tea, milk, and muesli I will be carrying in mon estomac :lol:

The lift pass price is nothing to do with the TO - everyone has the freedom to buy direct or through an agent.

It isn't about the "total" cost, this thread started with an observation that TOs are "REALLY" expensive.

I disagree, and thought it interesting to see if we can directly compare TOs with DIY
(excluding Ski-hire, lessons, lift-passes and other add-ons that are equally available to both package and DIYers.)

I am on a TO package at £590
AllyG is on "semi-DIY" £554
("semi" because I don't class catered as full DIY)

So looking for a comparable of FULL DIY (UK to large french resort, self catering, during non-school hols, winter 2013) to see just how much can be saved.

Anyone?




What month are these prices base on SS?

January (6th for mine 13th? I think for AllyG's)
if I'm not skiing then I'm kayaking.

One skiing holiday, booked. 'Semi' DIY as in I booked everything separately, no TOs this year. How novel.

Plagne 1800 by train arriving 9 Feb.

Webcam watching and sleep counting can officially begin.

How much did you pay for it?

£588 each for half board and train. It's in a chalet-hotel which has everything we like (afternoon tea and cake, wine with diner and a bar for apres ski if we don't want cake), just doesn't include transfers but can sort that myself.

8 days skiing too :)
