Snowbombing, Luggage and Craic!
Well!
Sorry it's been so long, but that was an incredible week on many levels!
Firstly though, I said I'd report back on the baggage situation; I travelled out having paid for hold luggage and ski/snowboard equipment. I returned having paid only for the snowboard. There was no problems paying only for the snowboard, and next time I won't pay for hold baggage. I feel that I ought to add that, although my bag weighed some 24Kgs, by placing it on the weighing stand with half of it hanging off the end, supported by my foot it registered as only 14Kgs on the way out and 9Kgs on the way back! 'S only fair...! ;)
As for snowbombing. In honesty it worked out as being very expensive for a weeks holiday. I spent well over a grand in the end, closer to £1500 and I feel that could definately have been better spent. Although the party and boarding were both awesome (admittedly it got slushy towards the end of the week)it proved impossible to do both justice and so they both suffered; one night I surrendered to bed at half two, and the last three days I was on the piste at 1100 rather than 0930.
