Half term.....
I would definitely check out TO offers, still around for half term. Two for one lift pass etc, offers on ski school and equipment.
Maybe look at Igluski and Ski solutions. Crystal and other big names.
Resort - wherever takes your fancy and has the accommodation you fancy really.
I would go for something small(ish) where the girls can get around without getting lost. Compact may be a good word. From your point of view, presuming ski school for the girls - you will need to be able to access skiing quickly and get back quickly to get the most in (unless you are in ski school for the same hours) - this suggest relatively high with lifts all around.
If you give us a bit more detail about countries you like and type of accomodation I'm sure there will be more suggestions.
Main point - plan well for it to work for the girls!!!

Hi Andy I've mainly skied in Austria, Mayrohofen, Sol, Kaprun I've also skied Italy Sauze Doulx, Montgenevre France and I liked it there so thinking maybe somewhere around that area, I've looked at TO and it seems to be cheaper to book our own as their will be six of us in total,Also don't want to be to far away from airport.
Thanks again

Self catering probably or even a catered chalet for ease.

or Les Saisies
(don't ask me about Austria, Italy etc - I only really know France)
My head is on compact, car free maybe and easy to get around.

Hi, agree with Manston, but when I was at sauze d, oulx which would be fine I skied over to Sestre for the day and think it could be better for beginners. I'm sure other more experienced than me will have lots of suggestions.
There were some good deals for chalet accommodation at half term to Sestre a week ago, the only problem for me was the flights were from Manchester.
Good luck
Andy
