It seems that the budget for next seasonr has gone up slightly :D

I've skied in Tremblant before, but nowhere else in the USA or Canada. We'd need to go in the school Easter holidays, and we consist of an advanced snowboarder, an intermediate skier, and a 10 year old skier who has bags of confidence and will pretty much try anything. Ideally we want to go for 10 days as we get jetlagged going out rather than coming back (yes I know, we're weird....), so it would be good to go somewhere we can chill for a couple of days first. Me, jetagged, on a pair of skis is probably more than human flesh and blood could bear.

So, where do you guys recommend?

Fab Tony, that's another one on my list....

I like to think I was pivoting and carving in a graceful manner....I fear there was some skiddy stuff going on though!

Trust me, it's remarkably easy to do - if I can do it, anybody can :lol:

I had a lesson when I was skiing in January, and my instructor told me to use the balls of my feet and turn almost by rolling on them, using my big toe - worked a bloody treat! I stopped thinking about my turns, and my husband said he could see the improvement in my skiing straight away. It did a lot for my confidence anyway!

Safe journeys all, both to and from!

have fun :D

Les Houches is great - well worth a visit. And if you do go, go to Les Vieilles Luges for lunch - best mountain restaurant ever!

Nope, but I came back this time with Man Flu. It's extremely serious.

That's an excellent date. It's my birthday :D

The thing is, you'll have a great holiday no matter what, because you'll be with your mates. You can't control the weather, you can't really control anything! We all worry a bit before we go, because we all want our holidays to be perfect, but the reality is that you'll still have a good time.

You've got to make the decision to wither change the date, change the resort, or do nothing and cross your fingers. Even if you do change the date or resort, there's NEVER an absolute guarantee that you'll have great snow.

Chill, and just look forward to a great holiday.
