Packed and ready for the drive to Gatwick :) :)

Just got some for the OH's Mito. But now I see the temps down here in Devon are going to be high for the next week or so and thus have delayed fitting them.

Bialka Tatrazanska is the largest ski area around Zakopane with I suppose 12-15 kms, Consists on 3 chairs and a couple of buttons. 1 Black (short) 3 or 4 reds and a few easy blues. Tends to be busy with suicidal Polish blokes, often with no piste skills or etiquette trying to get from top to bottom as fast as possible. The whole area around Zakopane is littered with lots of small runs each needing a separate lift pass. I learnt to ski there and for that it is good but once you find your feet you need to go to the bigger Alpine resorts. Zakopane itself is a lovely place, chocolate box houses in the town, prices really good and the food great. The Polish people are very friendly. A Brit firm Sunshine World operate from there. This link is quite good for some of the pisted areas around. Hope that helps http://www.sunshineworldpoland.com/html/poland_ski_areas_at_a_glance.php

Don't know...seems good to me especially if it has a hot tub etc. All that space to yourselves. Have a great time and find time to ski over to La Thuile

Spa is at St Didier about 3 kms from Courmayeur

And we are getting nearer the top of the list :-) :-)

Value for money it has to be Italy or Austria. As you havn't skied for 10 odd years and OH is learning try Passo Tonale which is great for one week or Sauze D'oulx.(Milky Way) which will suit you all.

No No Adders, we need lots more please as its only 15 days before we ALL go to Sauze D'oulx :D
