How's it going

Have gone twice - it's brilliant. You'll have a great time!

Well worth the trip, even if just for Hans the Butcher!
Make sure you book any of the extra events in advance.
Epic trip... enjoy

John_Mc

Yeah definitely book in advance. The artic disco at night is one of the best I think. Bring some gear to dress up in as well - you'll look out of place if you dont.

Heading over with 11 other souls. All snowboarding/skiing noobs!

Difficult environment to learn how to ski/snowboard. You'll be out partying till 3am and then up on the slopes falling on your ass all day. You'll have the craic but it wont be as easy as if you had a bit of experience.

Enjoy!

Sounds like every first time ski/board holiday ever!

Spin1038 have just tweeted that they're running a comp for tickets for this. Might be slightly easier than winning the Lotto??! ;-)

Try TK Maxx for your salopettes, jacket & gloves, and Mountain Warehouse for everything else. You can also buy jacket & yrousers there too, they have some great sales, and an extra 10% off if you register online. A lot of places are running low on ski gear at this stage, so get shopping!
