Făgăraș Mountains Snow Guide

Terrain Description

The Făgăraș Mountains in Romania, part of the Carpathians, offer some of Eastern Europe’s most varied and challenging backcountry terrain. Towering peaks and deep valleys stretch across untamed wilderness, with altitudes reaching over 2,500 meters. This rugged environment provides expansive open bowls, tight tree runs, and steep couloirs, perfect for advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders. The area’s isolation and dramatic alpine vistas make it an ideal playground for heli-skiing, offering descents on untouched snow without the crowds.

Best Time to Heliski/Snowboard

The prime season for heli-skiing in the Făgăraș Mountains runs from January to April. During these months, cold temperatures preserve the quality of the snow, and consistent snowfall ensures deep powder conditions. The high altitude and northern exposure help keep the snow fresh longer into spring, offering a blend of deep winter powder in the early months and firmer corn snow as the season progresses.

Snow Areas:

Balea Valley: Known for its wide, open bowls, the Balea Valley offers an exhilarating descent with plenty of opportunities to carve wide turns on fresh powder.
Capra Ridge: A more technical run featuring steep pitches and narrow couloirs, perfect for experienced riders looking for a challenge.
Negoiu Peak: One of the highest peaks in the Făgăraș range, this area is ideal for long, sweeping runs with breathtaking views and challenging terrain.
Podragu Valley: A mix of tree skiing and open fields, this run offers versatility for both skiers and boarders with a variety of snow conditions.

Type of Snow

The snow in the Făgăraș Mountains is predominantly light and powdery, especially during mid-winter. Due to the cold temperatures and frequent storms, fresh powder is common, though higher altitudes can see drier, more consistent snow. Lower elevations, particularly in late season, can experience wetter, heavier snow.

Expected Snowfall

The Făgăraș Mountains typically see between 4-6 meters of snow per season. January and February are peak months, with consistent storms bringing fresh snow. By late March and April, snowfall becomes less frequent, but the snowpack remains stable due to the colder temperatures at higher altitudes.

Terrain Conditions

Altitude plays a significant role in the snow quality here. Above 2,000 meters, the snow stays powdery and light, while lower altitudes may see icier or wetter conditions, especially on south-facing slopes. North-facing slopes preserve the snow longer, offering excellent riding conditions well into spring.

Safety Considerations

The Făgăraș Mountains are known for their avalanche risks, particularly in steep couloirs and open bowls. Experienced guides are essential to safely navigate these terrains. Additionally, some areas may be prone to sudden weather changes, so preparedness and proper safety equipment are mandatory for every trip.

LineUpEXplorers GmbH (hereinafter LUEX), Köln, provides an internet-based intermediary platform for global travel-related products and services. For this purpose LUEX operates a travel information, communication and booking system on the internet. This offers travel-related products, services, and information. These terms and conditions govern the use of the entire LUEX offerings, also in particular the booking of trips, travel components and services. LUEX reserves the right to make provision for supplementary terms and conditions for certain travel-related offerings or destinations. As LUEX acts only as an intermediary, the specific and general terms and conditions of any third party offering a product or service shall also apply additionally. In the event of conflicting conditions, the general terms and conditions of LUEX shall apply preferentially.

The parties to the legal relations shall be designated as "Travellers", with a person who also makes a booking for one or more Travellers designated as a "Group leader". The member of a tour group shall also be designated as a "Group member". "Service provider" designates a company or person that delivers the actual product or service - usually on location at the destination - that LUEX (Intermediary) offers to Travellers.

2. Website

The website constitutes the fundamental information that LUEX provides to Travellers. The offers, representations, data, software, images, illustrations and information are subject to copyright in virtually their entirety. To the extent that the design, photos, selection and manner of composition and preparation have been prepared by LUEX, the rights are held exclusively by LUEX. Large quantities of information, offers and images are delivered by third parties, in particular also by Service providers. This content is also legally protected by copyright, trademark and competition law and may not be copied, transmitted or used in any manner other than within the scope of the website without the prior express written authorisation of LUEX or the rights holder, if applicable.

LUEX shall make every effort to update information and prices at all times. Nevertheless, there may be differences due to the volume of data, information and parameters. Prices and specifications can be found based on the individually prepared offering. The booking confirmation and the price calculated for the Traveller are definitive.

LUEX is unable to monitor or check all information provided, especially links to other websites. LUEX is unable to maintain and update this content. In this respect, LUEX is unable to assume any responsibility.

3. Intermediary services

LUEX facilitates the provision of travel-related products and services by Service providers in the form of travel modules and services. LUEX is not a tour operator and does not deliver, own or control any of the travel-related products and services on offer. The travel-related products and services are delivered directly by the Service provider. The offerings provided by LUEX are intended for natural persons. In this context, the Traveller / Group leader making the booking must be at least 18 years of age. A Group leader aged 18 years or over must book for under-age travel companions. The offerings are primarily intended for Travellers from Germany. In utilising this offering, the Group leader making the booking promises that they are authorised to act on behalf of their travel companions, in particular to arrange travel-related services and to conclude contractual arrangements in the name of the Travellers. The Group leader is liable to LUEX as the joint and several debtor in addition to the individual Travellers for the payment of the travel-related products and services booked. Legally binding declarations received by the Group leader are deemed to have been received by all Travellers in the tour group.

4. Bookings

To the extent that no further commitment periods have been agreed, the following shall apply: By filling in the booking templates and confirming the booking procedure, the Traveller/Group leader commissions LUEX to finalise the intermediated procurement with the Service provider. A confirmation of receipt from LUEX with respect to an order immediately after the Traveller/Group leader has transmitted the data does not constitute a binding confirmation of the intermediated travel-related products and services.

Immediately upon receipt of the booking, LUEX shall assess the availability of all the booked products and services from the Service provider/s. Following this assessment, the Traveller/Group leader shall be issued a booking confirmation. The Traveller/Group leader is obliged to check this confirmation carefully immediately upon receipt. If information appearing on the confirmation or in another document is incorrect or incomplete, the Traveller/Group leader is obliged to inform LUEX immediately - in text form if possible. Alterations at a later point in time can only be considered if LUEX could reasonably be expected to make such changes. Unreasonable alterations are such changes in particular that involve additional costs for LUEX, unless the Traveller/Group leader reimburses these costs.

A binding agreement between the Traveller and the respective Service provider shall only eventuate when the binding booking confirmation has been transmitted to the Traveller/Group leader; the automatic LUEX confirmation of receipt is not a booking confirmation.

The following applies when a Group leader makes a booking for several Travellers: With their booking, the Group leader confirms that they are permitted to legally represent the group members (Travellers) and that the Group leader is permitted to make and receive declarations on behalf of the group members. If travel vouchers are dispatched, they shall be sent solely to the Group leader for the whole tour group. Payments shall be processed exclusively through the Group leader with debt discharging effect.

The contractual obligation of LUEX is limited to the proper intermediation of the booked travel-related products and services. The contractual obligations of LUEX do not include the delivery of the booked product or service.

5. Payments, cancellation charges

LUEX is entitled to demand payment of deposits and outstanding amounts in accordance with the general terms and conditions as well as the terms and conditions of payment of the Service provider of the mediated product or service. Payment shall be collected as instructed by the respective Service provider. It is possible that the method of payment accepted by the Service provider may differ from the standard modes of payment used by LUEX or in Germany generally. The details are to be found in each of the offerings respectively. To the extent that nothing to the contrary has been agreed, the following shall apply:

Following receipt of the payment request, payment of the deposit indicated on the payment request is to be made in a single payment within one week by means of the payment method indicated. The deposit shall be at least 25% of the total price of the travel-related products or services that have been booked. The outstanding amount for the travel-related products or services is to be paid no later than 30 days prior to the commencement of travel as a single payment by means of the payment method indicated without any further request for payment. In the case of tour groups, the Group leader is responsible for ensuring consistent payment processing. The total price of a tour booked at short notice (within 30 days of tour commencement) is due immediately.

If due payments are not made or not made in full and the Traveller/Group leader does not pay after a reminder with a final due date, LUEX or the Service provider are able to withdraw from the particular agreement, unless LUEX or the Service provider is already responsible for a significant flaw, failing or shortcoming at this time. If the Traveller is responsible for the cancellation, LUEX or the Service provider can demand compensation in accordance with the agreed fixed rates for compensation. If nothing else has been stipulated within the offer/travel confirmation, the fixed rate in the event of the Traveller cancelling more than 30 days prior to departure is 25% of the price of the tour. The Traveller/Group leader is entitled to provide evidence of lower costs or costs that did not eventuate, while LUEX is free to calculate and demonstrate substantially higher costs.

LUEX assumes no currency risks. In order to minimise currency risks, LUEX shall exchange the travel payments received into the target currency of the country of the respective Service provider as soon as possible after receipt of payment. In the event of major currency fluctuations, the Traveller/Group leader shall indemnify LUEX against any proven currency exchange losses. Reimbursements shall be made solely by means of bank transfers in the currency of the recipient. Bank fees and charges shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader.

If the Traveller/Group leader pays by bank transfer, LUEX can only facilitate a smooth booking process if the Traveller/Group leader uses the designated booking ID in the purpose field of the bank transfer which is specified in the request for payment. Otherwise LUEX may not be able to assign the payment to the correct booking. A failure to do that correctly can result in the cancellation of a trip in the worst-case scenario.

If the Traveller wishes to book not as a private individual, but as a business traveller acting on instructions or as a legal representative, this must be noted already during the booking process and cannot be subsequently altered. This can have taxation consequences and should therefore be carefully considered.

The customer shall receive a payment receipt in the form of a booking confirmation from LUEX showing the total price, either paid or to be paid to the Service provider.

6. Alterations, cancellations, reimbursements

In the event that a confirmed booking is modified or cancelled, LUEX is to be contacted as quickly as possible in this matter such that a possible solution can be sought in consultation with the Traveller/Group leader. Additional costs that result for LUEX or the Service provider shall be borne by the Traveller/Group leader, whereby LUEX reserves the right to invoice a minimum fee of €50 for changes demanded solely by the Traveller.

Should there be a modification or cancellation by LUEX / the Service provider, LUEX shall also contact the Traveller/Group leader as soon as possible and seek a possible solution.

LUEX notes explicitly that as an intermediary LUEX cannot assume responsibility for the performance of the Service provider. In particular, LUEX offers individual travel-related products and services to exotic destinations. The Traveller recognises that booking and processing these products and services are more difficult and that a higher degree of flexibility is expected of these than for mass tourism.

7. Complaints and ratings

Should the Traveller be dissatisfied with an aspect of the travel-related product or service received in a particular case and wish to submit a complaint, they are to approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during their current stay so that this person can attempt to solve the problem. LUEX recommends notifying the Service provider in text form that documents the shortcomings, if possible with the aid of photos.

If the problem cannot be resolved during the stay, the Service provider must be contacted within 30 days of returning from the trip. The Service provider should then respond to the correspondence according to the applicable laws and regulations. Receipt should be confirmed in 14 days and a full response received within 28 days. If this is not the case, an explanation for the delay should be received from the Service provider.

Should the travel-related product or service not match the description on the LUEX platform, the customer must approach the Service provider or their representative directly at the location during the customer's stay. LUEX shall support customers with respect to their complaint. LUEX is to be informed of the facts involved in the situation as soon as possible in order to be able to assist in finding a solution.

The Service provider is to be contacted immediately in the event of flight or transportation problems. Customers are to check information and the general terms and conditions given to customers via the Service provider before the commencement of travel.

8. Visa, passport and travel regulations

The Traveller/Group leader shall pay attention to the special visa, passport and travel regulations for the Travellers and their country of destination. LUEX makes every effort to inform customers as comprehensively and accurately as possible. To the extent that LUEX draws attention to particular details, this can only be considered as non-binding information. Considering the high number and frequency of possible amendments to regulations, Travellers/Group leaders are requested to contact the relevant embassy/consulate for the particular destination. In this respect LUEX can assume no responsibility whatsoever for any assurance, guarantee, currency or accuracy of the information. The information provided by Travellers’ ministries of foreign affairs are a reliable source with respect to many travel destinations.

It is the sole responsibility of the Traveller/Group leader to ensure that all Travellers are in possession of all requisite travel documents (passport, Visa, etc.) at the commencement of travel and that all Travellers fulfil the health requirements.

9. Insurance

To the extent that it is not expressly offered, insurance cover does not constitute part of the travel-related products and services offered. LUEX recommends that customers take out travel insurance, in particular travel cancellation cost insurance and in certain circumstances overseas travel insurance, including an overseas health cover component. LUEX names a reliable partner offering the relevant insurance policies to its customers at: http://www.luex.com/info/insurances.html.

10. Liability, responsibility

LUEX depends on the information provided to it by the Service providers with respect to the details of the travel-related goods and services. LUEX has only extremely limited opportunities to check such information with respect to their accuracy and completeness. Consequently, LUEX is unable to provide any guarantees or assurances with respect to the completeness, accuracy or currency of such information. The same applies for any other information made available by third parties.

LUEX is not liable for the availability of the travel-related product or service at the time of booking or for the performance of the booked travel-related product or service by the Service provider.

Within the scope of its performance obligations, LUEX is only liable for any losses that may result in the following cases, irrespective of legal grounds: The statutory regulations shall apply with the following restriction: Liability or minor negligence on the part of LUEX or its vicarious agents is excluded, provided that neither an essential contractual obligation was breached nor is there a case of initial incapacity, impossibility or default on the part of LUEX. Otherwise liability is limited to the value of the travel-related products and services booked, in any case however to predictable and typical losses. The exclusions of liability or facilitation shall apply in the same manner to the executive bodies of LUEX, as well as to their vicarious agents.

Travellers and Group leaders shall be liable to LUEX for each and every reservation/booking that is made in bad faith or with deceitful intent or with erroneous or incomplete personal data. The opportunity to book travel-related goods and services may only be utilised in order to make legal bookings as a Traveller or as a Group leader for a third party. At the same time, in utilising the offerings the Group leader guarantees that they are authorised and are permitted to act in the name of fellow travellers. In the event that there is a breach of these guarantee, the Group leader is liable without limitation to LUEX and their respective Service providers for the losses resulting from the aforesaid person’s actions.

In many countries there are safety standards that differ from those generally found in Europe, Australia or the USA. Travelers/Group leaders are strongly encouraged, also in their own interest, to access information once again immediately before commencing travel in accessible sources, such as the internet pages of the Foreign Office, with respect to changes in the travel regulations and safety warnings for the country of destination.

11. Final provisions

Should business terms and conditions or parts of the agreement be or become invalid, the validity of the remaining parts of the agreements shall not be affected.

Amendments or additions to all agreements, including a divergence from these general terms and conditions, are only possible in text form (written, by fax or e-mail). Oral agreements require written confirmation to be valid.

All communication between LUEX and a Traveller/Group leader is to be undertaken by e-mail if possible. The Traveller/Group leader therefore promises to receive and read e-mails and implement the information/instructions from LUEX accordingly. LUEX must be informed immediately of changes in contact details.

All contractual relations between LUEX, its customers and Service providers are subject exclusively to German law - with the exception of the UN Contract for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) convention. Köln shall be the mutually agreed place of jurisdiction for non-German Travellers.

Terms and Conditions

Each client must read the terms and conditions under which the HELISKI ROMANIA (HSR) experience operates. These terms and conditions govern our contractual relationship for any type of heliski or free-ride ski experience that we offer and that you want to benefit from. By purchasing any type of heliskiing package you give us your full consent to the terms and conditions. If you make your reservation as a representative of a group, you must go through this document and you are responsible for informing your group members of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

To reserve the experience offered by us, a payment of 15% of the agreed price is required. Your reservation will only be confirmed after this advance payment is made. The remaining balance is to be paid as follows: 35% of the price by November 15th, 2024, and the final 50% maximum 3 days after the completion of the experience. The advance payment should be made by bank transfer, as specified in your invoice, which will also include the necessary bank details. The remaining balance can be paid in cash or by bank transfer no later than the date reserved for the experience. HSR will charge a late payment fee of 0.1% per day for any delays in payment of the remaining balance. If you do not show up on the reserved date, for any reason, HSR reserves the right to retain all payments made as compensation.

The price of the experiences offered varies depending on the period, the activities included in the packages or the number of packages for which the reservation is requested. The reserved experience is described in detail in the Annex to this contract.

There may be situations where, for objective reasons, certain changes need to be made to your booking. We reserve the right to always make these changes. We assure you that we will inform you in advance and that your experience will be as little affected as possible.

We may have to cancel the experience you have booked for reasons not related to our strength such as bad weather conditions or technical failures in the aircraft. We will try to offer you the experience you want on another day of your stay. Suppose we cannot organize the heliskiing experience on another day of your stay. In that case, we will compensate for the heliskiing experience with another ski activity that we have available at that time. (off-piste skiing, cat-skiing, etc.)

You will not be refunded the money you pay if (i) you are late or leave earlier for reasons not related to HSR, (ii) you do not benefit from the experience booked due to previous medical conditions or you got injured during the experience, or (iii) you do not benefit from the reserved experience due to your skiing skills or stamina.

Cancellation of reservations will be made by e-mail to the legal@heliskiromania.com. Subject to availability, the HSR team will book your package on other available dates, either in the current season or next season.

Given that the activity of heliskiing and off-piste skiing involves significant risks, HSR does not take any responsibility for participants who want to benefit from these extreme experiences. HSR or HSR guides will not be held liable for any kind of accident that resulted in physical injury, property damage, loss, or damage to your equipment.

Each participant must expressly waive the right to hold the HSR liable in the event of any risk occurring. More information in this regard, as well as the document to be signed, will be provided by the time the helicopter safety and avalanche briefing session occurs. The refusal to sign this document compels us to cancel the reservation of the one who refuses.

HSR ensures the safety of each participant. In this regard, it reserves the right to impose rules on participants, which they are obliged to comply with. The Guide will ensure that it informs each participant of the rules to be followed.

HSR does its best to ensure that the experience is carried out as planned. HSR cannot be held responsible for inconveniences related to weather conditions, snowfall, snow quality, danger of avalanches or personal skiing skills. The guides reserve the right to adjust the experience plan as they consider necessary according to the ski skills of the participants, the weather conditions, as well as any other unforeseen reasons that may arise, to ensure the safety of each member of the group. The representative who reserves experience for a group of people shall be required to ensure that the members of his or her group are aware of this information.

HSR is not responsible for the quality or how its partners perform other services to which HSR has only the quality of intermediary. HSR cannot be liable for any last minute modification or changes at your booking done by other collaborators.

We ask the participants to purchase medical, personal and travel insurance, concerning the high costs involved in the heliskiing activity. Insurance should cover cancellation of the trip, off-piste skiing activity or emergency evacuation by helicopter. Please take these recommendations seriously and make sure your experience is covered by an insurance policy. HSR reserves the right to request proof of insurance and it reserves the right to refuse participation in experience in the absence of insurance covering all risks involved. The representative who reserves the experience for a group of persons shall be required to ensure that the members of his or her group are insured.

HSR's experience requires a considerable level of stamina and off-piste skiing experience. Participants should ensure that they have considerable experience and ski skills to be able to take advantage of the ski lines in a comfortable way. Even though the HSR provides training in the heliskiing experience, participants must ensure that they can benefit from the experience from a physical point of view. HSR and HSR guides have the right not to allow participants to benefit from the reserved experience when they consider that their level of stamina, experience or skiing skills are not sufficient to benefit from the experience in a safe way. HSR does not return the sums of money paid to the participant who does not meet the minimum conditions for participation, nor is it liable for any damages that could result from the cancellation. The representative who reserves the experience for a group of people must ensure that the members of his group have the necessary skills and experience to benefit from the reserved experience safely.

Participants must inform HSR about any medical condition capable of influencing how the participant can benefit from the experience and existing at the time of making the reservation or that occurred after the moment of booking. Otherwise, the HSR reserves the right to cancel that reservation if it finds that the participant in question does not meet the minimum conditions necessary to be able to benefit from the booked experience in a safe manner. HSR does not return the sums of money paid to the participant who does not meet the minimum conditions for participation, nor is he liable for any damages that could result from the cancellation. The representative who reserves the experience for a group of people must ensure that the members of his group do not suffer from medical conditions capable of influencing the performance of the reserved activity.

Each participant in the experience will give a statement informing them of the risks that occur to them off-piste skiing and confirming that they do not have any kind of physical or medical condition capable of influencing the safety of the experience. The representative who reserves the experience for a group of persons shall be required to ensure that the members of his or her group know this information.

HSR reserves the right to make photo and/or video materials to promote the heliskiing experience. In achieving this right, the images of the participants in the experience offered by HSR can be immortalized to be used in heliskiing experience promoting campaigns. The participant must assign copyright credit to @heliskiromania for the photo/video materials taken over, used, or redistributed publicly, online, or offline. By failing to comply with this obligation, the participant infringes the copyright on the promotional materials that HSR creates, being directly liable for any damages caused to us or to others as a result of using the materials without copyright. The representative who reserves the experience for a group of people shall be required to ensure that the members of his or her group know this information.

To execute this contract, HSR processes the personal data provided by the participants in the light of the experience they wish to reserve. This data includes but is not limited to, names, surnames, contact details, medical conditions, or other similar information that participants understand to provide to us. The information provided is kept by HSR for the duration of the performance of the object of the contract and may be transferred to other third-party collaborators who provide other services to the participant. The participant can request for demanding access, modification or deletion of the personal data processed by the HSR. HSR does not use the personal data processed for purposes other than those necessary for the execution of this contract. The representative who reserves the experience for a group of people shall be required to ensure that the members of his or her group know this information.

The governing law of this report is Romanian law. Any dispute arising between the parties will be settled amicably. If the dispute is impossible to be amicably settled, the courts in Timiș County will be competent in resolving the matter.

The agreement shall take effect from the moment of its signature by the parties throughout the duration of its execution, respectively until the participant benefits from the reserved experience.

They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too.

Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it.

The best by far. Their actual surfers and not just travel agents that have stood up on a foamy once upon a time.
Having tried every other agent acting in the Maldives and the surfing industry. I have finally found one that actually gets it. They aren't travel agents with a surf related website, but actual surfers that are experienced in both surfing and the places that they offer travel too. Some of the other agents which brag as being leaders in this field are far from it. There has always been some headache such as overbooking, inferior boats, or just general misinformation. These guys get it, finally.

We booked Sea Farer for a 10 night stay in the Maldives through Ignacio and had an amazing time!
Ignacio was brilliant to deal with - answered all our questions, gave some excellent advice and recommendations which really changed our trip. The Sea Farer is the perfect boat - so much space, the crew were excellent and the food was delicious. We were a group of 8 intermediate Aussie surfer girls and this was just the perfect trip for us. It was a once in a lifetime experience and we're grateful that it all worked out so well! Highly recommend this boat, this company and Ignacio. We still can't wipe the smile from our faces :)

Ignacio went above and beyond setting us with everything we needed for our Mentawai trip. I really appreciated the quick responses and intimate knowledge he has of the area. Will use them again.

Martin and his team have visit all the places they recommend many times, so they definitely know how it is on site and what to look for. This makes a huge different to many other agency's out there who just recommend stuff on average ratings or best commission fee.

Thank You Martin, Ignacio and Giulia!
Outstanding customer Service, best prices and super experience!
I have booked for the 2nd time with LUEX and I can 100% recommend these guys. They are just nice, they have visit all the places they recommend by themselves and they just take care of your whole trip!
The two bookings I made was for surfing Maldives. Its not easy to find out how the waves are in the Maldives and which resort is best for your needs and have the best swells at certain times.

price:
they can match up any price you'll find in the internet, so you won't pay extra for the service even though you should. So why not take advantage of the great service they offer.
Service:
Quick response rate (usually same day), really nice guys and no matter what issues you have, they can support you and take care of you. Sometimes they can work out even better deals than you find on the internet.
I will defiantly come back here next year for more surf trips and also big mountain skiing
See you in the water :)

Honestly, it was the best surf trip that our family has ever had. Still glowing in the aftermath of our 2 magical months spent surfing in Indo.
We will definitely book again with LUEX for our next surf trip to the Maldives or Indo.

Thanks so much to Tim and the entire LUEX crew to seriously go above and beyond to make my trip to the Maldives all that more special. Your prompt communication, attention to detail AND patience was much appreciated. I always wanted to go surf in the Maldives, but I had no idea A, where to go, and B, where to stay. Tim was kind enough to exchange probably close to 30 emails, taking the time to discuss every single option that was available that matched my budget and preferences. I honestly never had a better customer experience and thought I was in good hands throughout the booking process. Everything lined up perfectly, and I had ten unforgettable days in paradise, surrounded by good people and pumping waves. Again, thanks so much for all your efforts. I'm already planning my next trip and you, Tim, are the first person I will contact.
