only 8 of us. it was quite difficult to get everyone to agree on something, as there were a lot of better options for 8 person chalets for about £200 more a head (which 2 people didn't want to pay, but 2 others really did), but everything cheaper was about 20 minutes walk out of town, and the key thing for all of us was to have apres-ski convenience. so this is the compromise, a couple of people are not happy sharing a chalet with others because they have had bad experiences in the past. i don't care as i will only be in the chalet for about 1 hour each evening to eat dinner and change before going back out again, and during and time i will simply ignore all the other people, including my own group.

I'd be worried about that high chair in picture 4.

Tbh, i really like to avoid every one when i am away.

Dropped a clanger on the phone recently when chatting to a family member that i had really liked something in particular in their home town when fir and were there...oooops....we, er, were on.y there for a very short time, (true) and we had pretty much every minute organised (true for him and my meals) and could not bunk off,:o:o. When actually we checked with organisers and did just that, as we usually do after the first most 'formal' thing.

Thats very organised. Do you manage to take spontaneous trips too?

Thats one of the things we miss about having animals...you cannot just get on a last minute flight somewhere for one night and see whatever happens. I generally like to be more organised. But i think the odd bit of spontaneous behaviour (when schedule allows) is fun.
