00:01:50 J: this is where I'm going in Feb - the price I mentioned earlier is for a place that's walking distance from the ski lifts, so it's easy to stop by the apartment for lunch

00:01:59 J: and people can start whenever they like

[...]

00:13:59 J: Okay, just doing some costings to compare with andorra - the 6 person apartment in morzine was £457 for a week. That's €510. Or €85 per person..

00:14:54 J: An 8 day lift pass for just morzine and les gets area is €180, or €162 for students..

00:15:38 J: or an 8 day lift pass for the whole portes du soleil region is €254..

00:15:57 J: ski rental is probably about €90 if booked in advance

00:16:43 J: the apartments all have a kitchen, so it's easy to bring food to eat cheaply

00:17:14 J: that's about all the costs, other than travel costs getting there - so cars and fuel and tolls

[from James his mail]

Splitting out the travel and accommodation costs, we have:

Accommodation - total £465.53, so £77.59 each for the week (or between Ana and Izzu in their case).

Car Travel - based upon a total of £320 (£150 Diesel, £120 Tolls, £50 Ferry), that's £64 per person for return transport in the car.

In other words, for those traveling both ways in the car and staying the whole week, travel and accommodation will be £141.59.

In addition, people will need equipment rental and lift passes, there's a few options, we can fit 8 days skiing in - people obviously don't have to do this much skiing if they don't want to.

Most useful options are: 8 days full portes du soleil pass: €254 / £228. 8 days Morzine & Les Gets pass: €180.70 / £162. Student discount 8 Days Morzine & Les Gets: €162.63 / £146

Ski and boot rental for 8 days is €90 (about £81) from http://morzine.skiset.co.uk/partner/j2ski/ There's no hurry to book sooner rather than later, but booking online is usually 30-40% cheaper than just turning up.. We might find cheaper places online, I've not searched extensively.
