Title: OT- Attention all people from Europe
Post by: The Avenger on December 02, 2001, 08:24:00 am
i have a plan, mainly involving people from britian and anyone able to get to heathrow (or an airport) Thanks to Top Gun for giving me the idea. But the year after next (thats 2003 for lame people) say february,  that we all go Skiing!! we all find a resort in say italy, falcardy is good  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) and we all meet up for a week in the snow, go skiing drink some beers and have some fun. If anyone would be interested then tell me. I think it would be really cool to do it, so tell me what u think

16 should prove ok... maybe 17, I'm not sure what the legalities are like in Italy, so going out and so on might prove difficult if peolpe don't look old enough/can't prove thier age...
Title: OT- Attention all people from Europe
Post by: Thorn on December 02, 2001, 08:49:00 am
17 is probably a good age...
Maybe 16...
Title: OT- Attention all people from Europe
Post by: The Avenger on December 02, 2001, 08:51:00 am
i think 17, sorry wildlife, if u have any lower the likely hood is we would not get in anywhere,

Woa (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/eek.gif), I would have thought a simple meeting in a hotel somewhere would have been sufficient but In two years, hmm I might possibly be able to go (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Is that taking "living" and going out places into account or just for getting there, getting a place and so on?

Cool..i can Snowboard a little, well only straight froward no turns or breaking  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Yeah i agree that 17 should be the starting age to go next year 18-05-02 i'll be 18 so thats no prob for me and money should also not be a prob.. So count me in.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

But if it's going to happen and we do arrive in Italy and not somewhere in the middle of nowhere i wan't no FS talk (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

In france, 16 is ok to drink alcohol  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) (it's cheaper for me to stay in France  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))

thunder: only getting there, board and getting back. It is not an exact figure, i think the more people u can get on a single flight, say all the brits taking a single plane from heathrow, or Birmingham Internation, would mean that u could get a discount.

Actually, what might be cheaper, come to Vancouver B.C. Canada, most european money is worth a lot over here, and it probably isnt that expensive to get a flight here either, then we rent a bus and drive up to Whistler, one of the best places to ski in Canada.
Just an idea...

Don't forget those who go will need to buy/hire the stuff.

As for the ski trip... I think I'll have to count myself out. Europe... a bit far. And besides, I'm poor. Do it in my backyard and I'm in, though.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Is it just people from here or can we bring friends?

I'm in if it can be organised.  Better if you can set it for a holiday though cos I'm gonna be doing a HND in Software engineering and may not have the time.  This MIGHT be the same for the others.
