Thats not fair!

I thought I was lucky to have managed to book 2 weeks in Villars/Gryon at the very start of next year!

Trying to decide if I should buy some boots... or just rent them again..

rent them for £60... or buy a pair for £200+ lol.....hmmmm tricky

We have not got anything booked yet. Hoping that some deals may come up in the new year. The time off work is booked - just need to find a 'reasonably priced' holiday!

Stop all this crazy talk, haven't been for a couple of years now and still saving to go "next season"... frown

Would rather go skiing than on a summer holiday, but this differs from Mrs EPS' ideas.. Although she is a very good skier.

Chamonix in March for my 21st. I can already feel the pain in my face/teeth for when I spectacularly misjudge the first jump. I can't wait, Christmas is not exciting anymore.

Really hoping to get away this season as it will be the first in a few years where I will be able to get the time off. Not sure budget will allow unfortunately frown

As a kind of consolation prize I did go snowboarding in a field near my house on sunday - woot!
