Just wanted to update that I loved my hells belles and had no problems at all and they felt good and solid over the bumps and the slushy stuff low down. Didn't hit any ice to speak of but performed beautifully on hard groomed piste. Couldnt help feeling I was not using them to their full potential but they looked after me well and i think we'll be very happy together :)

I didn't see any others like mine. I guess there are hundreds of different types.

Hi Jadavi
I too would be interested in how you got on. I am planning to go as often as I can next year even if it means going solo as this year has been a total disaster for arranging a ski holiday. Hope you had a great time.

Hi, I will definitely be going solo again; it has given me a lot of confidence. If I had not got on so well with the two single people I met thru ski forums (this one and snowheads ) I would have skied with people from the chalet. The occasional time I got lost alone on piste (strayed a bit) people were incredibly helpful and sometimes I followed them(visibility was poor at times).
The girl I met thru here was better than me so we met at the top and bottom and she did reds/ blacks and I did blues. We flew out together and shared a room ar the chalet.
Chalet Le Prele was a brilliant experience. I cannot imagine a more luxurious holiday (but apparently this was only middle quality in the luxury range) tastefully decorated, cosy, fab meals, close to bus route to two different ski areas, helpful re transfers and ski pass pick up. Girl I was with changed boots every day and guy came early and late to the chalet .thanks you so much Snapazz for the tip. I never got to see the hotel which I'm sure was just as lovely.
One hour fifteen transfer from geneva you can't go wrong really.
Looking to come back in march 14 for self catering with family. Def Morzine and Portes de Soleil area.
Sorry should have posted this in correct section! Maybe I'll copy and paste to encourage other single travellers.
