I was working at Hotel Rosanna in Austria and one month in managed to tear 3 out of 4 ligaments in my shoulder, doctors told me I needed surgery so I had to leave and go home.
Found out I didnt need surgery at home and pretty much fully recovered, seriously missing boarding and just bought a go pro and a new set up.
Im only 19 but me and my friend were wanting to go skiing asap. Im a very competent snowboarder but dont know many decent resorts, im also on a budget of £500 for flights, accommodation and lift passes, can anyone recommend anywhere or website, im desperate to get on my board.
Thanks

If you are flexible for dates I would leave out as late as you can and bag a bargain off a tour operator anything you like the look of check the snow, resort if your unfamiliar etc on here would be a good place to start.loud of snow all over at the minute.hope the shoulder fully healed.wherever you go hope you have a great time.write a report when you get back.awful you're season cut short.does your old hotel not offer discount

Mm, its just because there's so many resorts and reviews and I dont want to end up going somewhere I get bored of within a few days!
It does offer discount but its a very last minute thing because its so popular it often doesnt have free rooms, i just want to get back on the slopes and hit the powder ive been hearing so much about.
Thanks for the advice though

Hi ,

You could try the following.....

http://www.loftbourg.com/
http://www.miquelhols.co.uk/
http://www.chillchalet.com/index.htm

These are all pretty good value and you can fly to Geneva and Grenoble airports for around £60 - £80 return, and BensBus ( http://www.bensbus.co.uk/ ) will do a return from these airports to Bourg-St-Maurice/Les Arcs for £73 return.

Might be worth a look,

All the best

Sorry you had to cut your season short, particularly with such great snow this year.

Late deals are probably the way to go as already suggested, and there are quite a few doing buy one pass get another half price.
