Food, location were excellent and to be honest for a singles trip it would be fine but not for what we forked out for. Our organiser is going to be putting in a massive complaint to Crystal because if that is how they gauge the ratings of the hotels they use we will shop elsewhere for our custom.

Just checked trip advisor and the Hotel does have mixed reviews, you can't take trip advisor 100% ( Human nature being what it is) but it is a good Barometer :thumbup:

The drive out of the country will be fun on sunday! The snow over the last 24 hours is the worst I have ever seen.

Don't you mean "best" you've ever seen?

It must be a nightmare when they close the lifts, just because its snowing hard.
I assume it was wind that caused the problem?
Luckily enough I've never been anywhere where they've closed the lifts, just found less people came out to play when it dumped it, strangely.

It seems to happen more in Andorra than the Alps ..... normally with just the one lift open
