Here is my humble opinion!!

Steve, i have been looking at this myself and I figure the best thing
to do is good old Eurostar. My thinkin is, I can catch the eurostar to
Bourg St Maurice and catch the funicular up and it will cost me about
£180. It will also mean I can leave friday night, sleep on the train
and be on the slopes for the whole of the saturday. Total trip time is
about 8 hours plus a half hour wait at the train station(kinda check
in time)

The alternative, of course, is to fly to Geneva. This requires an hour
of check in time, costs about £100 and needs all the wasted time of
baggage collection etc at the other end. I can then catch the train or
Satobus(www.satobus.com) to Bourg and then try ski. The problem with
this though, is that the satobus can cost anything up to £0, though
the train or some alternative will be about £55 ish. That brings my
total cost about £155 - £180(much the same) The difference is flying
and bussing requires me to be awake, there are no late night flights
that can still catch the bus transfer.

I reckon, the extra few pounds for the Eurostar are worth it for the
extra days skiing.

I am lucky though, I live in London, so I can even catch the Eurostart
after work ski for say 3 days and catch the overnight Eurostar back
and get back to work on time!!!!

Anyhow, if you have any luck getting any more details, please let us
know!

Except that the Eurostar to BSM only runs on Fri/Sat, and the guy wants to
go for 4 days. Outside weekends you can only do it with two train changes
and one station change in Paris (E* to Paris Nord, TGV Paris Lyon to
Chambery, local train to Bourg St.M.), total travel time 8-9 hours minimum
