ski pass

I%26#39;m going skiing to pas in Feb and I was wondering if it%26#39;s better to get your ski pass before you go or get it out there? I was also wondering if anyone knows how long the journey in from Toulouse to Pas? Any other tips would be appreciated as I%26#39;m a first time skiier!!!

If it%26#39;s non stop coach from Toulouse airport tp Pas de la casa then it%26#39;s about 3 hours. It may take longer on the way home, so be prepared. If I was going that route again I would bring one of those inflatable neck pillows. GOD, i%26#39;d have killed for one on the way home.

Someone else just posted a day or two ago that the ski pass is the same price no matter where you buy it, so I suppose buy it before you leave Ireland. The cost for 6 days is about €145. The only advantage buying it at home is that it saves you time on day one at the resort where you must queue to purchase it at the gondola station.

By the way, are you going with a travel company? I did as a first time skier and the ski pass was included in the cost. It was handed to me by my rep on the evening of my arrival.

Here%26#39;s that post from pissedandbroke re the lift pass:

Thanks for the replies, just got back from PAS tonight.

Hired the skis from Snowrental, and bought the ski pass in town, and yes, the prices of the passes were the same where ever you went.

Conditions were OK, had loads of snow on Thursday night%26quot;
