they're getting cheaper
but it's still hard to see any change from a grand for a week in a decent place.

yeah, depends
got a 5* chalet in Nendaz last year for £500 including flights (last-minute), £250 for a 4 valleys pass, £200 for booze and lunches and £50 for the robbing shites to ship my skis.
but admittedly that was a better than average bargain year.

If that's for Val next year
that's a decent deal if it's a good chalet. I only got away with ones like that above because I tend to choose a week to go but only actually book the holiday in the two weeks beforehand. Doesn't work with massive groups, but currently all but 4 or 5 of the people I ski with are incapacitated by children so it's OK.

That's a great idea,
but shit in practice especially if it's something hot because two minutes into eating it, it's ice cold.

I'd have to buy/rent gear as well, as all my skiing stuff is fucked.
Except my jacket I think.

I'd perservered with rented boots for a few times, but they fucked my legs up something chronic with gashes and bleeding and shit, so I bit the bullett last time and bought some nordics

I spunked £300 on some Nordica Ace of Spades last time out.
Actually, sad times, I threw a fairly servicable pair of XWave 8s out when I got the Nordicas, Chompy could have had them :(
