Booked it, won’t be packing just yet though…
Some time ago we bought tickets for a prize draw from our friend Pete Garwood out in Bourg St Maurice in support of the British Children’s Ski Team - we thought nothing of it until a few months later, when we got an unexpected but thoroughly welcome phone call saying we’d won the top prize:
Top prize: A Week’s Ski Holiday For Two!

inc. return flights, transfers, lift passes and half-board accommodation in any Equity/RocketSki Chalet or Club Hotel departing on any date (excluding New Year and Feb half-term) in the Winter 2006/7 ski season.
Well, the brochure finally arrived a few days ago and we picked out a lovely luxury chalet in Alpe d’Huez: then they told us we’d have to pay an extra £242 each as it was run by someone else! So, we picked a new place that wouldn’t cost us any xtra, and now we’re all booked and counting down the days 
It would appear that there’s been a breakdown in communication somewhere as the lift passes aren’t included, but that’s not big deal in the grand scheme of things: without this unexpected prize we’d have struggled to get a holiday at all given our current situation, so paying for a lift pass is not a bad price!
We’re going to Le Corbier in France. We picked it as we’ve never been to the resort before and the hotel is ski-in / ski-out and seems to be a decent standard. We’re flying out of Manchester for a week’s holiday in March

It’s a very reasonably sized area, there are five lift linked resorts offering over 300km of pistes. We’re looking forward to exploring!
