Nikkis2000 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 It's flippin expensive though Stu. We looked into it to try and get a fix -jeez a couple of days for a grand and there's no travel included. Japan's cheaper but resorts are limited. Still trying to suss out NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou8670 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I didn't think it was too bad Nikki when I looked....skiing is unfortunately expensive! We've talked about going skiing if we visit family back in the UK during the January school holidays. You can always get some really good deals in the Alps for the third week in January.

Nikkis2000 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I guess I'm just too used to being able to nip over to France or Austria on a cheap-ish package deal. When we went to Sweden a couple of years ago we paid less than £500 each!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkis2000 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Now that sounds like a plan!! We used frequent MK but my first ever ski lesson was at Leeds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu4668 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Now that sounds like a plan!!We used frequent MK but my first ever ski lesson was at Leeds! I have personally never tried indoor skiing, after being on the slopes in Austria I bet it is quite limiting. how about trying kite surfing? looks good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkis2000 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I always found indoors really good for getting your ski legs back before you went away. Saved that whole first day back on the slopes feeling. And for those times that you couldn't get away it was just nice to have a fix. The though of kite surfing scares me a little. I'm only small and have been on the end of one of those kites on land. Not keen to repeat the ordeal on surf, which just adds another uncontrollable element. I'll stick to stand up paddleboarding thanks. Not that I've done much of that since being here either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
