news I'm looking to organise a long skiing weekend for some friends and myself in late Jan, early Feb next year. We all usually go skiing with our families and we've had the idea of going on a "gentleman's weekend" without the family (so not using up too much valuable holiday). My initial thought is that we could shoot off to Liverpool airport after work on Thursday (maybe Wednesday) and catch an EasyJet to Geneva, then maybe hire a car (depending on numbers) to somewhere close like Morzine. Four (or five) days skiing, then head back Monday night - using up only 2 (or 3) days annual leave. Has anyone got any advice / suggestions / experience of this sorth of thing? Done this the last 3 years - 7-9 of us to Austria. We fly on Friday night to either Zurich or Munich, hire cars, stay in cheap pre-booked hotel en-route to resort, get up early & get to resort by 8 on Saturday, Ski for 5 days solid, fly home weds night. Part of the fun of it is seeing how cheaply we can do it. This year it was a shade over £200 each for flight, hire cars, 1st night hotel & 4 nights in resort (!) I. So you slept in the hire car? |

Another couple of hours gets us to the likes of Engelberg if perchance there is no snow. Why Hahn? Well, starting from Scotland choices are limited. But we picked up flights for Easter weekend at £248 for all 6 of us! Another £150 or so for car hire and I'd call that a cheap bit of transport. -- Adrian |
