For me it was a looooooong time ago...I had booked a couple of weeks in Tenneriffe with a friend who then decided to get married ...so there was a place with another friend to go to Souze D'ouze ...went with a pair of double lace up boots and hired skis (215s) with cable bindings (curse) bought a new pair of boots whilst I was there and got hooked..never took another summer holiday for 7 years ....got married had kids no cash and took it up 30 years later and have been 11 weeks in the last 5 years :roll:

a really nice place ..I was there last week and the snow was great ..prices compared to Courcheval were 1/2 ...still not cheap though and nice runs back to the village
Enjoy yourself |

just got back from VT yesterday and had a fantastic time skiing the Three valleys!
I would recommend VT to any half decent skier and the beginner in our chalet said she enjoyed it too.The pass for the whole area is a waste for beginners and early intermediates as the only way down to Mottaret is via the "lac del la chambre" which can be difficult we had a mixed week weather wise Sunday was beautiful and we were in Courcheval having a coffee by 11 am ...even going the slow way via "ours" a long and painful green ...but instead of 1850 we ended up in 1500 a much quieter place. Tuesday was another trek with a neilson group again to Courcheval but this time in zero visibility...interesting as i am not good in flat light .but I made it The only thing of interest on Wednesday was that we got stuck in a lift(roberty) in La Menuires for an hour...got to be the shortest lift in the resort ..but it broke down.... by Thursday the weather had changed and the piste was fantastic 
and my ski buddy Mike did the Grand Couloir...I chickened 
he then calibrated by investing in a coffee in 1850 €6.60 ...be warned and we skied down to La Tania for lunch a lovely run down the "bouc blanc" in perfect conditions and after down jockey to Le praz . I enjoyed the la Tania area and thought it more picturesque and friendly ..might try it next season Friday was too hot and I skied in just an anorak and a vest..the snow in St Martine was getting slushy 
all in all a fantastic area and would definitely visit again ,,,maybe not to VT though here are a few more pics 
went with Neilson and cant complain ...we booked on Wednesday went on Saturday nice reps and chalet host and good company ...and excellent discount |
