I have found a deal in livigno that suits, worth a try?

Or

Stick to places like Val Thorens, Tignes etc to guarantee the high snow.

The reason I fancied Italy is because

A: I have never skied there before

B: I have been told its cheaper than France

C: Its not full of French people

Hey all

I am looking to book a week on 1st April ( I know, I am going pay through the nose due to Easter) but that is the whole reason for the thread, I have been recommended to go to Italy as is better value than France or Austria, however, is there anywhere good in Italy that time of year?

What I want to avoid is the slushy stuff that you get in April if you are too low down, I hate skiing in that stuff.

Your advice will be hugely appreciated, even more so if you know where any good deals are.

I did try and choose the words carefully and be PC but if any of the girlies want to share their "mountain body hair habits" then they are absolutely welcome. )

I just look at my photos and the mountain man look really doesn't suit me at all, however, I remember that it felt wonderful, why? I have no idea. :D

I have been on ski hols many times at Christmas including Tignes, the French resorts seem to not make a huge "Christmassy effort" so it doesn't feel much like christmas where as Canada is amazing at that time of year.

If you are going to ski at christmas and want that "christmas buzz" then I recommend Canada or USA.

:D :D :D

OK rephrase, do any chaps have a desire not to shave when in the hills?

Anything could have been forgotten with this much excitement :roll:

Not for an experienced Airport Transfer Specialist, such as myself :wink:

I always forget something though. Sunnies one year. Shaving foam the other. Hopefully it won't be Mrs H this time.

You shave on ski hols? I tend to have this desire to turn into mountain man and grow a beard.

Anyone else have this desire when in the hills?

deck chair idea gone out the widow didn't get enough snow :(

tempting...... )
