Started but got bored at q 6. Not very mobile friendly questionnaire

I'm there for the Star trail....think I'll be giving it a miss though to be honest. Running at home in 3C is bad enough

I have finally booked both my ski holidays for '18. Alps D'huez and Les Arcs.

When I hire my ski I usually just choose the pack 'performance', collect the ones I am given and off we go. What do you guys & gals do?Tell me your experiences

Good point. Not looked at serre chev. ADH is on the list :)

Cheers for that, My mrs and SIL would love Sauze, my Mrs learned to ski there. I thought it had some great fast long cruising runs, but did not find it that challenging - did the men's downhill over the other side of the valley in sestriere. That was fun.

ADH is an option, I know a few people have mentioned that before. I'll put it on the list.

Hotel is an option if we get the right resort.

Winter is coming, soon we will stop looking to see if it's going to be a 'nice weekend' and start looking at the web cams. That's where I need some help.

This Jan (20th) I am going skiing with Mrs Icy and sis in law. Sis in law has had 2 full day intensive lessons at Chill Factore as she is new to skiing - but is keen to come with us. Mrs Icy is low intermediate. I am....depends on the day!

Looking for suggestions on places to go in Europe. I know the PDS area well (fancy a change), the two Val don't really like them, done Sauze and found the runs a bit like a wide motorway. I need to have some more options. Important boxes that must be ticked (in order of importance are below:

- Decent height for lower slopes, approx 1200m
- Good for beginners & intermediates
- Enough variation so intermediates don't get bored. I don't mind skiing the same run twice in a day, but not 9!
- Ski to door (ish)
- Don't have to get buses to get to lifts in the morning
- Good eateries and drinkeries. I'm not after Foilie douche, but then I don't want a glass of horlicks by the open fire!
- Apartments preferably
- Transfer no more than 3 hours

That's all. Not many boxes!

Suggestions......GO!!!

Is it proposed that the price would be per person or a group? One person paying that is expensive, but a group of 3-4 is more attractive.

I've completed your survey, it sounded really promising and a great idea. The I got to the price part of it :shock:

If people going on a leisure ski holiday is your target market (I guess it is with you posting on here), the price is far too high in my opinion. The cost of the filming is almost as much as what some people spend on the whole holiday

Good luck, I hope it works for you. Consider getting advert support, personally don't think may people on a leisure ski holiday would pay that. If it's for pro - maybe
