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.

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.

Hopefully Val Thorens in the 3 valleys Amir.

I should be staying in this place:

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.

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.

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!

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  :|
