I was looking at staying in Kirchberg cos its cheaper.. I'm doing Ski Welt. largest Austrian Ski area but not as wild booze wise other than Soll but thats other side of the valley

Work social trip so I had no choice. Cheaper as a day rate if I'd done Thurs to Sunday but need to cover the desk on Friday.
as you say.. a grand
I don’t think I’ve paid more than a grand for the week (excl spending money, but still). That’s why I go to cheap places.as you say.. a grand
Agreed, just back from a week in Pila, Italy. Much cheaper than France for ski passes, ski hire, food on slopes. A coffee was €1 to €1.50 on the slopes. Usually €4 in France.
Breckenridge is fantastic, loads of powder. One thing I noticed was the cost of lessons as f***ing astronomical compared to Europe. Think passes were high as well.Just back from 3 weeks in Colorado, half in Breck, half in Vail. Beer and drink still cheaper than France, probably on par with Austria. For the first time in 4 years the snow has been average with 2 x 12” dumps and about 5” to freshen things up.
Total cost each for really good condos, BA flights, transfers and Season Pass about £2K a head.
Own boards so no rental cost
never skied In Italy yet..just hasnt seem to work out with flights etc..
Lessons are a packet so I believe- I paid £450 for a season Pass and went on the mountain 18 days, do £25 a day, plus it is valid for the lifts in the Summer and I may take a detour when I am over in the states in the Summer to do some hiking and mountain biking.Breckenridge is fantastic, loads of powder.

Wasn't he in Harry Potter?I’m off to Switzerland in February, a week in Grindelwald
It’s currently costing me about $2k for a week in Banff likeI don’t think I’ve paid more than a grand for the week (excl spending money, but still). That’s why I go to cheap places.
never skied In Italy yet..just hasnt seem to work out with flights etc...cos france is getting goddam fuckin expensive , paid 8.5 euros on the hill in chamonix couple of weeks back, and in st martin 3 valleys paid 8 euros in the village for stella, was a tiny bar with a few locals and dont think the patron wanted brits in there so i think he made the price up... however two trips to bulgaria to come theprices there will even out the total ski budget for the year
f***ing health tourists.We went to Sestriere a few years back - the Milky Way gives you loads of choice of runs so it never felt crowded and it's pretty much ski-in / ski-out. It was (technically) the last week of the season so the passes were reduced - but they got a massive dump just be before we arrived. We got a good instructor as well (that's pot luck, I guess) - it was the best week of improvement I've had. Food and accommodation not up to Austrian standards - but it wasn't a slum and wine was included with the evening meal. Had to take my son to A & E when he fell and bumped his head - they were brilliant with that as well (checked out in hospital in Turin back on the slopes the next day) all at no cost - didn't even look at our EHIC card but we all wear helmets now though!
Just booked another week in Bardoneccia, Italy on 18 March with Crystal ski. Sunday flight at 7.45 from Newcastle to Turin with transfer about 90 minutes. Would have liked to go to La Plagne or Tignes but poorer quality hotels were £200 per person dearer plus the ski passes are much more expensive, and then you’ve got the prices on the slopes.
