Off to Saalbach in Austria just for a week on the 20th Jan, trying to extend it for 2 weeks!

La Plagne in March - seems an age away but it gives more time for decent snow fall

i'm hearing good things about bulgaria - anyone been?

Ash87 · Dec 7, 2006

yeah went back in feb to Bansko in Bulgaria, was really good nice hotel, cheap food and beer but 2-3hr coach ride from airport to hotel though so be prepared for long journeys.

TrophyDan · Dec 7, 2006

Im going with friends around march 07 ish

Cant wait!

T7PHY · Dec 12, 2006

Going to Lech in Austria at the end of February for a week... Any longer than that is far too expensive there!

Can't wait. Trophy snow chains anyone?! Lol :lol:

Cue · Dec 12, 2006

Cant put 'em on a Trophy - the suspension setting doesn't allow it. Same as the 330 - had to sell mine as i didn't have a car that i could put them on

Good Luck in Val!!!

Great place to go but i have been the last 2 years in a row, and you just cant escape Val Disease at all. It will get at least half of your group and it always wipes out a least a day. I really do love Val but im starting to think i'll have to look elswhere cos bein ill is just no fun. They have been looking into it for years and still cant seem to work out where it comes from! ie Water, Airborn etc.

But i wish you luck and just hope it doesnt get you!

I stayed in Tignes next door and two of our party were ill and one broke her leg, good fun though, the snow park was great and there was so much (2 metres in 3 days) snow we jumped out the hotel window on our snowboards and went all the way down to the home made jump over the parked cars!

Three days after we got back, avalanches killed about 50 people all over the French Alps and hundreds were stranded.

Stuart · Dec 15, 2006

If i can get th emoney together i'd love to go and visit my aunty in Vancouver and then pop to Whistler for a few days. My cousin drives the snow cats for a living so it would be a cheap holiday but so far only got about a tenner so not looking good.

Want to borrow my snowboard?

Max · Dec 16, 2006

It's worth saving like hell to go to Vancouver, probably the best city I've been to and Whistler is amazing too.

Going to Verbier, Switzerland, next Sun for Christmas. Can't wait, just hope it snows between now and then!

Nick C · Dec 16, 2006

Off to Les Arcs on the 13th Jan and havn't been Skiing for 13 years. Much older now so likely to fall harder. Went to the MK ski slope for a lesson last week and it seemed to come back to me. hope there's some decent Snowfall in the Alps before mid Jan

I was there last year and nearly all our group were i'll in the first 3 days.I didn't realise it was such a common occurance though.
If it happens this year at least i'll be able to tell my group about it!!!

Cue · Dec 18, 2006

a mate of mine moved to whistler for 12 months - he raved about it.

wrightyrs · Dec 18, 2006

Whistler is amazing,best place i've been boarding.

Although the 3 Valleys when they have enough snow are great as you never have to board the same run twice.

Audrey 286 · Dec 18, 2006

I used to go to Les Menuires. But haven't been in years.
The 3 Valleys has the biggest ski resort in Europe!

Just got back from a week in Chamonix, and despite the lack of snow (we had to bus it for 30 mins a day to get to to the good stuff) it was an awesome break. Mont Blanc is spectacular, will try to get a photo up, but my memory card is fooked so it's proving hard getting the photos off it.

Cue · Jan 15, 2007

Did you see the Glacier? Not sure if it's still their - been a while since I last went...

OliS · Jan 15, 2007

Yeah saw the glacier, you could fit a house down some of the crevases on the glacier, the whole landscape of the area blew my mind!

Took a cable car up to 3900m, right next to Mount Blanc, fantastic views...
