When you’re in Deux Alpes make a visit to The Spot, it’s a bar/restaurant owned by a Brighton fanWe are off to Les Deux Alpes on February half term (for my sins), will be busy but hopefully snow will be ok.
I'd be interested in any advice on some smaller Austrian ski resorts with decent spa hotels (for next year). No pressure...just any place that comes to mind in five minutes.
Cheers

Middle class, moi?
I wish I could go again. Alas the arthritic spine and knee are now making it hard to stand let alone ski.
Yes. Very good skiing. Busy, though.
Lived there for 4 years in the 80s. Take the bus after work, up Cypress as the sun set.... Five dollars....insanely brilliant. I envy you big time.
St Anton....was the last place I went ( a few weeks after you I recall). The pool/spa was empty in the afternoons. Bloody brilliant!
It's light from around 10:00 until 14:00 and fades to an hour of twilight, if its snowing or just cloudy it stays pretty dark, not night time dark, you can see to get around fine, we organise our activities before we go with the tour operators, it is pretty easy to organise activities when you are up here the Hotels are always eager to help, but it's not always the cheapest option, we had all our outdoor oversuits, snow shoes and skis included in the holiday cost.
The first time I drove a dog sled I nearly shat my pants at how quick they take off, absolutely mental creatures, again, scrawny, skinny looking mutts but they fly and seem to love it! I did a 90 minute trip around a frozen lake, great fun!We once tried dog sledging. Me and Mrs Wz had our own sleds and the kids (who were very young) were put in the sled of a proper musher. They tied 5 scrawny looking huskies to my sled and I said 'are you sure, the 5 of them pulling me ?'. We took off like a rocket and I had my foot on the snow brake most of the time
It is incredible seeing real working dogs in their natural environment, constantly fighting (or bickering, we were told) about their place in the hierarchy. Makes all domestic dogs look like a load of pussies

Sorry, no.
