Next season

Ok ok I know its still this season on the slopes, but I'm already looking to next season to make plans.

Just wondering if anyone has got any definite places they intend to book, or resorts on their wish list for next season (and I don't want to hear anything from the usual suspects from the N Gang :twisted: )

For me, I have a wishlist of resorts. However, I am going to review this now as I have changed my criteria to include the following:

Next or within 2 minutes walk of ski lift

No queues at lifts

Quiet slopes

Good choice of on piste cafes/restaurants


I have got the following lined up as options, which also fit my other criteria in terms of extent, snow history, distance from airport etc:

Cervinia
Bad Gastein
Monterosa
Solden
Crans Montana
Davos

So whats everyone else got in mind?

Not having been this year, any-where would be good for me. Summer hols sorted so looking for ideas for Jan 2013. Thinking Norway but would also love to experience Russia. Austria used to be great for us airport 2miles up the road, 90mins flight and we were there. Sadly no flights any-more from Bournemouth.

I really have no idea at the moment 8)

Rose - I'm sorry you missed going ski-ing this year :cry:

I hope you find somewhere really great for next season :D

Might drive out and stop 2 weeks instead of the usual snatched week and thinking of the PDS area lots of different places to try

Well, we're 90% sure that we will return to Val d'Isere (with the kids and probably over New Year...gulp, better get the credit card prepped).

We were in Val d'Isere 7/1 to 14/1 this year. Very impressed. No queues. Good mountain food. Great apres ski. Brilliant lift system and link to Tignes.

We will then go away sans children, probably 1st week of Feb. Have been eyeing up:

Cervinia/Zermatt
Verbier
Courchevel
Val Thorens

I"ve booked a family holiday to Club Med Tignes for next year - 31st March for a week. 30 in our group somehow... !!! Good price at the moment for a few Club Med holidays as they offer early bird discount... it's the only way we afford to go!

Also booking my girlie holiday - back to La Tania... got prices and some commitment but not all yet... nearly there with that one.

I always book a year in advance if I can - it really keeps the prices down :)

We're going to be heading over to Canada next year hopefully around the end of March into April (Vancouver Area) so plan is to sample Whistler as well a few local hills and Mt Washington on Vancouver Island.

Hopefully another group trip in there but don't know where.
