Stop by my sisters house and say Hi please

I don't ski (tried it once, now i have trouble with boat ladders), but the whole of that area of Canada is lovely.

Can't fault the apres-ski, although because of the time change you do get pretty tired by 8 o'clock in the evening and you're awake far too early in the morning.

The ski and snowboard school is top notch as well and if you're a beginner I'd recommend a few days of lessons with them as it'll bring your skiing on leaps and bounds.

Any specific questions just ask. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the hints. We'll be skiing Sun to Fri so the queues should be minimal.

Sister in Law is there at the moment and is, in her words, is "freezing my tits off". Luckily she's got small tits so it's not that much of a crisis. However I fear for my moobs.

Tell you what- it's not that expensive. £2300 for the 3 of us fully catered 4*. I can't get a Ski Esprit holiday in Filthy France for that. And it's in the Easter Holidays too.

Here's a hint for anyone thinking of booking- the exact same holiday, same chalet, same everything, is now £3120. So don't book it near 6pm when every bugger goes on the Interweb.

No thats because they know the word has got out that you are going and so they know they can raise the prices.

Hang on thats completely arse about face. Their marketing people have got the wrong end of the stick.
