I'm also reading good things about les menuires in terms of access to the 3 valleys and costs for a French resort.

I'd disagree with that, while the links are good the position of Les Menuires makes it a bit awkward. I've stayed in Les Menuires, Val Thorens, Meribel and Mottaret, Mottaret wins hands down for access.

Good feedback Andy, and I know you know the area well.
WTSS suggests Les Mens is (arguably) in the best position in the 3V, and the old area (aka Belles Menuires) has some nice traditional styler lodgings.
And of course, for the area, its cheap.

BOGOF deals on lift passes for Jan 14.

Been to Les Menuires twice; it has the quickest access to the very best skiing in the Three Valleys - La Masse. Fantastic steep area, rarely crowded, really interesting long runs.

Thanks

Next year i am planning ahead. Well ahead.

This season has been a disappointment for me as i haven't had the chances to ski that i wanted. The plan was New year and Feb.
New year happened and then we decided to move the feb trip to easter and go to spain in feb instead. That fell through because of work and now the spain trip has been moved to easter. And so the season ends without me having my second full week.
The two days in Morzine was great though.

So next year i am planning well ahead.

Jan 11th - ADH, i want to go back here
March - I am deffo going to go on the Crystal Ski Fest next year, i fancy a weeks race training.
And a couple of Morzine weekends again, maybe one before xmas if i can and one in feb.
I just need to get in early on those flights to make it a reasonable cost.

Anyone know what Morzine is like on opening weekend?
