Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:12:10 Nearly finalised plans for my season in the snow!

Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:14:55 Not been to Xscape for a month or so - it was far too icy there and was pretty crap. How was it when you went a couple of weeks ago?
Not 100% sure when I'm going to go, but it looks like it might be before Christmas. Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Amir on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:16:20 Nice one, Tom :D Where are you headed?
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:17:38 I'm about to sort out my plans for six months of globetrotting too, it adds an element of fun to the mundane day to day world of the temp.
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:18:34 Hopefully Val Thorens in the 3 valleys Amir.
I should be staying in this place: http://valthorens.com/hotels_description.asp?item%3d00%26amp;hotel%3dPIERR If you click on the "visite virtuelle" and select the Machu appartment from the drop down you can see what the appartment will be like. Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Amir on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:43:26 You staying for the whole season then? I've only been skiing once, but I can see why people love it so much.
What will you be doing to earn your keep? A friend of a friend was working out there somewhere as a rep, and managed to get kickbacks off all the bars so that he came back loaded. Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Danjackson10 on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:48:03 Im planning my winter trip at the moment! Still undecided where i want to go! When u going?
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:49:50 Well hopefully I will get a job when I get out there, apparently it's quite easy to do this in VT.
A fella who I should be staying with has been out there for the last two seasons and always found work easily, so I'm hoping a bar job somewhere. Oh I'm a boarder by the way, but generally the same applies - the scenery is just fantastic, that's one of the biggest draws I suppose. The lease on the appartment runs from 27th Nov - Mid May '06, so a fair while! Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Danjackson10 on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:53:50 Might take a look at it and suggest it to my mates! We are looking on going out around 4th Feb!
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 14:55:23 Yeah, do it. I should be fully clued up bu then, so can show you all the best places, give you cheap drinks....
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Danjackson10 on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 15:00:45 Nice one! Ill let you know if we decide to go! Be good to see a fellow town fan out on the slopes!
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Sussex on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 22:29:28 I went snowboarding with a group of mates a few years ago to Val D'Isere (£6 a pint? er, no).
I was crap at it, too much like hard work for me, and it was bloody painful! "Goofy" wtf! No, I'm just left handed thanks. Not my idea of a holiday :| Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 22:33:00 i hate the cold, i hate snow and im scared of heights, needless to say the week i spent in the french alps 3 years ago was the worst of my life.
Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Wednesday, October 12, 2005, 07:37:00 Stony - I ride 'Goofy' :evil:
Mex - you big girl! Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Leggett on Wednesday, October 12, 2005, 14:53:42 never been skiing.
but i think the major point everyone is missing is who's gonna step into the mighty void KT's rather ample voice will leave? :P Title: I'm getting excited! Post by: Kinky Tom on Wednesday, October 12, 2005, 14:57:02 I'm going to be holding lessons in the Merlin soon to try and show you all that you too have the power of the voice.
I'm sure everyone must be able to shout that loud - it's all about confidence. Title: I'm getting excited!

Post by: DMR on Wednesday, October 12, 2005, 15:43:07 I went skiing for the first time last year.
Gave up after the first day, spent the rest of the time propping up the bar and in the pool. Ace 8) Title: I'm getting excited!
