    hi there, I didn't go on the trip, but it looks like it was amazing! I was wondering if this is something TSR does every year and, if so, if there are any requirements to going on the trip? (e.g. age, ski/snowboarding ability) thanks!
    This was the first one, but they do plan to make it a recurring thing. And judging by the interest it got, it will be.

    You have to be over 18, or be 17 and have a parent/guardian sign off and say your friends are responsible for you. No requirement on ability, you can choose to buy lessons as part of your ticket.

    This ski trip has ruined me! You guys who met me probably wont believe it but before the trip I wasn't a big drinker & would perhaps only go out on a night time maybe twice a month.. Since the trip I've done nothing but get hammered in the town every other night haha. Last night out tonight tho and then I think I'll recoup (says the man who decided he would never drink again last night). .. [insert smiley vomiting here]

    I'm the same, pretty sure first thing I said on the first night was I don't drink and I don't like drinking, then went out drinking every night and now kinda regretting having mostly friends who don't go out drinking as really missing nights out

    You will have to show them the way forward! Drinking can be fun, it doesn't necessarily have to lead to amnesia and waking up with strange objects/people in your bed Maybe just take them to the pub or cocktail bar first or play card drinking games with them?

    Haha yeah, probably should try and start with a drink at the local after exams at least or maybe just get them to come on the ski trip next year and it might have the same effect on them as it had on me

    Wasn't on the trip but was skiing with mates that week and am a massive skiing fan.

    Thought I'd leave this video here as it's awesome.



    and this one

    Every time I hear Titanium by David Guetta I get flashbacks of dancing on tables. It's been over a week and I'm still missing it!

    Hahaha.

    I was miserable the first two days back, and swore I'd never drink again following Wednesday's failure (which I totally blame everyone else for, obviously)

    Buuuuut since then I've pretty much wanted to go out every night and I've not been at work so I've spent all week reminiscing :sad: Someone come out with me please? :bigsmile:

    I'm pretty sure we have some covered in red wine while doing the rum dentist chair but I'm guessing you weren't looking for that kind of thing

    Yeah I've got a few of those too, and a few crop top style ones.
