Really cheap SKI holiday

Hi all,
Apologies if someone has already alerted you lovely people of this, but I thought it was a cracking deal.
I love skiing, but it is horribly expensive by the time you add on ski/boot hire, lift passes and all the other guff that goes with it.
I came across this "Atomic" offer totally randomly. It's called "Boot Camp" and is based in Tignes (fantastic resort). For £99 per person you get 3 nights full board accomodation in a reasonable looking chalet,(with a hot tub!) a 3 day Tignes lift pass, (which you can upgrade to the full area if you want), your pick of the new range Atomic skis and boots to test and transfers from Geneva airport.
Flights are not included, suprise, suprise.
Still, it seems pretty cheap to me, and runs up until early season (19th dec). The only problem seems to be if you are flying from a regional airport (we're from Edinburgh); the transfer times are pretty rubbish. We decided to hire a car and drive, to maximise our skiing time. If any Scots want to split car hire costs in November, drop me a PM.
Snow in the early season is never a given, of course; however, in Tignes you have a better chance than most places as there is a glacier.
Here's the link for the site.

Hope this helps someone! Happy skiing all.
