So the season is upon us once again, where are you all off too this season ?
Now me and my mates all have young kids, we are doing the family resort thing, so we're off to Les Gets in Febuary. Anyone been whats it like ?
I have heard the skiings not very demanding so I think i'll have to do a bit more off piste.
Anyway happy ski season to all you skiers and boarders

I love Austrian resorts, did Zell Am See two years ago, one of the frendliest places i've been to

I've been tapped up to go on a cheap trip to Bulgaria with an ex-flatmate, her twin and a few others. Not entirely sure where in Bulgaria yet, I had no idea they were a skiing nation.

Yeah getting quite popular now as it's quite cheap, the only thing is the snow coverage isn't always great.

I nearly went on the portable slope they had in Eastbourne over the weekend. Not been away since I left school. Went 6 years on the trot and then twice a week on the dry slope in Folkestone really must try and go again soon.

Anyone tried Spain? Sierra Nevada. Ski in the morning & get some sun in the afternoon............ If you drive like a lunatic! Seriously not a bad place & you can visit Granada for the Al Hambra, excellent Tapas in the area. Not a bad weekend away.

[Lady Whistledown]

Still angling to go at the end of March but haven't done
much research yet.

Where in Europe is reasonably snow sure
at that time of year?

 

[Austrian Gull]

a man of ímpeccable taste!

Hardly any snow here so far so I'd hold off on any ski trips to Austria until after Christmas at least.

 

[Horsham Gull]

really still a couple of weeks til the big european resorts (Morzine/Chamonix etc) will open/depending on the snowfall

 

[folkestonesgull]

off to la plagne on boxing day!

 

[Lethargic]

Off to Tignes 2nd week of February 6 adults and 4 children can't wait especially as the early snow has been very good this year with most resorts opening early....bring it on!

I have, week after christmas couple of years ago.

Snow was very good, when rest of Europe was poor, mainly due to it being so high up (1900-2000 at top?)

Great little holiday, Granada, Seville...mm Rioja and tapas... :slurp:
