Not seen any mails did I miss something?

[Aardvark]

Original mails stated 'pay rest of cash by December 17th or we're not going', as did several forum posts. The balance is £185 I do believe.

[Silk75]

Pay old boy pay

[andyf]

[K]

[Zakalwe]

Don't worry he'd forgotten he'd already paid for transport.

Quitting now would cost over £400 :)

[Wizzo]

Hi, her0n here.

Yes I am scum. In negotiations with the mothership but by hook or by crook the money will be with you by friday.

Can you email me your bank details pls? her0n@mpuk addy thx :)

[Big Giant Head]

Avalanches, pah, I'd kill for avalanches right now, supposed to be going to Verbier in a week and there's not a drop of godamn snow ;)

[andyf]

'Tis the season to be jolly

So all I need to pay for now is clothing / equipment hire? All travelling and accommodation is sorted?

What you will need is:
-] Lift Pass
-] Equipment/Clothing hire
-] Purhcase of any clothing (goggles, fleeces, salopettes/pants, jacket, hats, face mask (if it's real cold), thermal tops etc.)
-] Food budget for lunch and probably a couple of nights out
-] Beer Budget
-] Spare cash for assorted sundries/snacks

[Zakalwe]

plus £200 for Afty-tainment.

[Pingman]

Have we got any more details on how much lift pass and ski equipment hire is going to be (skis, boots, poles etc) and where we are going to get them from?

Don't want to arrive there and find there isn't a ski equipment rental shop for miles around or the lift passes are 400 euros etc.

P.S. Payment winging its way to you shortly Zak.

[bvark]

Liftpass is EUR187 for 6 days.
Please note if you're a beginner you may save some money by using the free ski lifts for a day.

Looking at http://www.firstchoice.co.uk/ski/promo10/ you should expect to pay around 75 quid for rental.

[Zakalwe]

Bvark and Killing's cash has whanged into the account.

(heh Whang, heh)

We're staying ABOVE a hire-shop so 400 miles is an over-estimation. The appropriately named John Dragon, of Dragon lodge, tells me that hire is roughly £60 board and boots for the week.

[Silk75]

Oh and snowreport (http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Tignes.0to3mid.shtml#snowreport)

Have fun

ok i did over exagerate a little a bit, how much is it going to be for ski, pole an dboot rental as im no a boarder :D

[K]

usually about the same price.

[Pingman]

Monies sent, did it this evening at about 6pm so with a bit of luck it will be in your bank by tomorow.

[her0n]

Depends if you have the same bank or not. Otherwise it takes 3 working days approx.

I sent mine on sat so it should be in there by now :/ zak?

[Pingman]

lets hope it gets in there in time then, i thought it was instant transfer :S

[her0n]

Instant if you have the same bank.. (barclays in this case)

Otherwise it INSTANTLY falls out of your account and flies around for a bit before gaining permission to land in zak's :O

[Aardvark]

Do we have rooms to sleep in yet Zak? :D

[Mingtea]

My money went into the account on friday.

Boing.

[her0n]

Yeah Zak! Rooms!

My money should be in there by now.

[Aardvark]

Rumour has it that Zak is away skiing. Bastard! :D

[Njoroge]

Everybody is now confirmed paid - thanks guys.
