This coming season.......

Sauze D'Doulx Feb half term. ( downside of being a teaching assistant!!) Going with other half and eldest daughter and son, other daughter going to Tignes with the university. My son skied Sauze with his school at Easter and didn't really see enought due to poor snow so we thought we would give it a try. Totally excited.

I'm going skiing....
:thumbup:

Loved Serre Cherre last year (Would like to return someday hopefully with better snow) but as I can only go once a year at Feb half term at the mo (more expensive- no option - teaching pitfall.) Friends and I like to try a different place each year so... DIY to Morillon Grand Massif. Thanks to Snappzz and Ian Wickham for the info. Like the look of variety of tree lined runs in the Massif compared to the open bowl in Flaine - Variety of runs to suit all levels in party - Although not too fussed with the Cascades run on the video looks just like a narrow track too flat in some places even for nervous friend, but ringing the bell and being taken to the restaurant by sledge sounds ok. Anyway got cheap flights to Geneva the morning they were released and have booked (direct with owner ) a large ski in/out apartment (if snow permits) in Les Esserts.
Very excited !!
Now just need to loose weight and work on the fitness thing again

Which village?

Snapzzz, we'll be in Plagne Centre.

Not the prettiest, but I'm happy being in 'ugly' looking out to the more beautiful, than in the beautiful looking back at ugly. :wink:
