Natives News 219

23 January 2009

Hi there,

Those snow dances have paid off and the Alps are getting a much-needed big thick blanket of fresh snow. Hooray! And while there was bad news for one competitor in the notoriously tough Hahnenkamm, there was good news for the British Disabled Ski Team's Sean Rose, who picked up his first two Paralympic World Cup medals in Sestriere. Congratulations Sean!

The Natives Team

** SNOWDAYS 2009 - VAL D'ISERE, 21st TO 28th MARCH 2009 **

20 Days Do you fancy arriving in resort and knowing that loads of your mates (or soon to be mates) will be there? Partying hard every night, skiing hard every day, having long, lazy lunches in the sunshine? Well this is SnowDays.

With accommodation from £289 to £799, (all in the VERY centre of Val) there is something to suit every budget and bank balance, so no more arguments over where to go, what to do and who should take charge of the booking. You can simply book independently with us and tell all your mates to do the same – it couldn’t be easier! 20 Days

Nominimum or maximum number of people, no chasing others for their depositsor final payments, and no worrying over whether you’ll have a good time – trust us, it will be awesome! Check out the pics from 2007 and 2008 to see what is in store!
