I have booked a skip trip to Val d'Isere, France from 13-20 Feb 2011 for 2 people. The trip is 595pounds per person. This include hotel at Chalethotel Le Val d'Isere and flight tickets. i would like to resale it for only 500 pounds as i have emergencies and cannot make it to the trip.

Absolutely! But even a day spent skiing hard packed icy pistes is better than nearly anything else, once you are competent enough to manage the conditions!!!

I am always wary of resort snow reports that describe the snow conditions as 'hard' or 'packed'; usually means pretty icy for at least some of the day!
In times like this, ever more important to pick your resort carefully.
Certainly not turning into the vintage season early snowfalls indiciated, although I had a good time in Italy, especially on north-facing slopes.

Looks like North America blackmailed Mother Nature this season !
But as they say, Skiing a day with bad snow, is better than not skiing at all ! Fingers crossed Chamonix gets hit with some new snow by the 12th, however its not looking to bright at the moment, but bring it on !

valloirre was pretty unskiable in parts-all of the south facing slopes were bare and we were actually skiing in hoodies with no hats or anything in mid jan!!
feet were even not cold and didnt need to heat my boots in the morning!
