Summer is over, Autumn is here, the weather is getting colder, therefore its about time for ski season stoke. So as always where is everybody heading this season?

I'm heading to morzine to work in a rental shop for the season, praying for a better snow year than last year!

christmas uni trip is to Tignes, but I don't think I'll go. The easter trips are far more relaxed and have a much better vibe, so I'll probably go on that instead.

I'm hoping my exam timetable gives me a week between winter exams and new semester. Might look to get some touring in then.

Also strong possibility of Argentina next summer. Really hope this happens.

Yeah, heard about that yesterday haha

I think BUCS has done away with any focus on competing and turned it into a festival to make money. Not that I care, I never went anyway...

I'm still 50:50 on whether I go or not, I've been to Alpe d'Huez on four of the last five seasons, and snow hasn't been great this year, but it'd be my only opportunity to go this winter. It's also like £75 more expensive than last years awesome trip to Andorra (iirc you guys were there at the same time as us as well?)

Change of plan, I'm not going to Alp d'Huez.

I'm going to Chamonix

I'd say that's an upgrade.

I actually think the festival is much more the direction it needs to go in to be fair, years ago thats what it used to be branded as and everyone loved it.... over the last few years it petered out a bit and became pretty bland

For us we need something that we can sell to the average joes at our uni, we take 900 to Main Event and most of them don't want to compete and prefer the partying. I agree though that the BUCS side of things needs a bit of a change though

Nah Nussc have never been to Andorra, Pas isn't large enough really for our numbers so we could never go there
