Iron Heart Ski - Spring 2016

[Giles]

@mclaincausey:

I'll only swing it if in Switzerland where I can crash at some friends' place. The Swiss Franc and the Euro are about the same as far as USD exchange rate now FWIW. Either way, have fun!

?????

It's true you get about the same number of Swiss Francs to the USD as you do EUR, but that ignores the what the EUR will buy you versus what the Swiss Franc will buy you.  At the current USD/EUR exchange rate, a holiday in EUR Europe will be really good value for you USD holders….

There are many reasons to ski the Alps.They are so big. Where to go?
Logistical reasons, the value of money, best rides ever, the highest mountains etc.
I recommend St. Anton (Austria). It is in the central Alps, not far away of Switzerland, Italia and Germany.

Brilliant - bring some beer…..

@Danny:

Oh yes please…

^This @Madame Buttonfly . You can help make it happen!

OK, I am now seriously looking into this, probably France - dates TBC but avoiding European school holidays, probably late February/early March.

Please let me know if you are seriously interested.

I can either source a hotel and ask people to book separately, or book a chalet.  The plus for a hotel would be flexibility (for example if someone wants to come for just a few days), whereas a chalet would mean a full week's commitment.  So, to help make some plans can you let me know:

• if you'd want to come for entire week or just few days?
• will you come with a friend/partner to share a room?
• if on your own, are you prepared to share?
• any dates you can't do?

Let's get this party started!

I am in! Not sure yet if Jake and Laura will be coming with me. If I am solo. I am open to anything.

Hello @Madame Buttonfly , France is very far away for me!
If you like a meet up in the middle of the Alps, PM me and I can help to sort out something special!
Perhaps it will be the only chance, to meet up @derivative666 .
And once upon a time I said: I would love to ride a shred sled with you, derivative.
Hope we can fix it!

Thanks, @Aetas - when I get a chance to look into this I will be in touch!

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thanks, @Akuma no uta and @Aetas what ski location would you suggest?  (In Europe, G and I only really have experience of skiing in France, very happy to try somewhere new).

[Akuma no uta]

I have zero experience, but I am down for wherever!

PM you Madame Buttonfly.
