HERE'S THE SITUATION:
I am pretty much your typical engineering undergrad with
French bio undergrad wife, 2 Franco-American daughters (4 & 14),
little money and a bad (we're talking *BAD*) hurt to ski.
A serious, in-depth investigation of the family ways-and-
means has revealed a rather bleak winter forecast: enough cash
for a couple of days by the standard lodging/lift route, but not
the hoped-for 1 - 2 weeks of high-intensity experience.
WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?
I really don't know what the possibilities are. I have
heard of various kinds of `shares' (as I said, I do have some cash),
packages, etcetera, but I lack the necessary connections. I have
considered organizing a group outing so that we could `tag along'
at a discount, but again, I don't have the needed information.
We would be open to a shared Christmas vacation with another family
of desperate skiers, if this is an option.
I eagerly solicit any fresh ideas that promise snow.
CAN YOU HELP?
Do you have experience with any of the above? Do you have
a situation that might be of mutual benefit? Are you in the same
boat (or a complementary one)? Do you have any suggestions or know
anybody who `knows'?
Then you can help! Please drop me a line by e-mail or more
mundane methods (see below).
Note: We are based in California but will cheerfully pack
off to Timbuktu if the price is right!
Yours desperately,
Galen (Pray For An Early Winter) Cochran
P.S. I also need help with hardware! Nicole (my wife) and
Soleil (the 4-year-old) both need beginner/intermediate outfits.
You wanna sell that old stuff?
