[massistar]

I'm in!! Sitting here looking for skiwear bargains. Booked for Feb 2017 and going to book ladies long weekend as well.

[lovetoskimum]

Hi Massistar, welcome back :)

Just need ski wear for daughter next year, as got new trousers for me this year !! Although i can still look :)

Hurry up summer hols and welcome to Ski season !!

[PickleSarnie]

Hi, can I join please?

We've booked for Easter holidays. Am bit nervous of how late it is in the season though. Half term was proving bonkers expensive and my smallest is only going to be four and last year when we went he was constantly asking when he was going to the beach to build sandcastles. It's fair to say he didn't love it. So figure it being slightly less cold and dark should help him not hate it this year?

We're going to La Plagne Soleil. Hopefully snow-sure enough? Might get a tan is nothing else I suppose?!

[lovetoskimum]

Welcome Pickle, love skiing that time of year, we always go March and yes always get a tan !!!

Any one else, been a bit quiet, lets get it going again :)

[toocheekyforwords]

Can I join in too please! We go in Jan, I've literally just counted down the months on my hands until our hands and it's less than 6, now I'm getting excited!!!

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

Where to cheeky

.... 4 months and 3 weeks to go

[Muchtoomuchtodo]

We're booked for PdS in January. Last year with our eldest DC in primary so probably end of an era.

I'm so much fitter than last year and still improving so I can't wait!

Haven't thought too much about kit yet, think we'll need at least one new pair of salopettes and a jacket, as well as socks and gloves for the DC.

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

Would it be wrong to wear my lovely salopettes and dream about skiing ?

[IsletsOfLangerhans]

Can I join? I'm on the verge of booking - got ferry/hotels all on hold - just waiting for DH to get confirmation today for holiday leave for Feb half term. We went last year for our first family ski holiday and loved it. Going back to same resort (Obereggen in The Dolomites).

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

Did you book islets?

[OverAndAbove]

Booked 3 months ago for February 2017. I'm actually counting down!

I think we can manage on all the kit from last year but I'm always happy to learn from others if there is something I need to know...

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

I discovered I needed a Dakin rucksack with a hydration pack this year... helps to carry the kids skis and allows me not to carry a water bottle. Well, 'need' might be pushing it, but it's definitely a benefit

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

It's the Dakine Heli if you have a child who doesn't like carrying skis.

[OverAndAbove]

Oh I love the look of those dontcallme I have a feeling my DH might "need" one for his birthday...

[IsletsOfLangerhans]

Yes I've booked!!!!! Got a great deal on ferry and our hotel too, but going to have to take the kids out of school one day early (going feb half term). Never done that before

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

You will have to sacrifice yourself Islets, for the cause

Over... oh yeah, he neeeeds one.

I just booked our girls weekend today. I am unable to express my excitement!

[dontcallmethatyoucunt]

I'm getting ski chat withdrawal.... does nobody else obsess out there?!

... 98 days today and it's been a loooong summer.

[lovetoskimum]

Dont, cant believe its that close, you lucky thing :)

Heres hoping for snow this winter to get us all in the mood !! :)

[lovetoskimum]

Islets, one day wont make a difference, when you see you children having a ball on the slopes !!

Great family holiday, god I am obsessed !! :)

[User543212345]

Hurrah it's time to start thinking about skiing again. We went to the ski show in London yesterday and got very inspired. Holding off on booking though as I had foot surgery last week and don't know when I'll be able to get my boots on. Fingers crossed for March.

[massistar]

Don't I definitely obsess!!

Have just booked ski school for our group of 13 children! My DS, 11, doesn't go any more as he's better than most of the adults in our group! He might give snowboarding a go this year (like mum and dad) .
