I'll report back.

When they have the brains of a budgie, a gentle push is the only option. :D

I've been there 4 times, once self catering, the other times taking big groups staying at Chalet Les Eterlous the des Bergers.
I don't think I'll ever tire of the area, it has everything.

Last year I was in Val D'Isere the week before, a silly amount of snow fell but was accompanied by a lift closing gale. Lots of extreme lunching going on! Would have loved to have stayed on another week!

Weekend of 13/14 Dec sees mens world cup slalom and giant slalom races on La Face in Val D'Isere.

For a mixed group like that, at that time of year, my first suggestion would be Alpe D'Huez. Wonderful place.

Chalet Aigle.

Fantastic chalet, stayed there a couple of years ago, (was called Chalet Altea then).

The thing that really annoys me is when someone gets to the front of the queue and then stops turns round and waits for their mates.
That and when you've been in a queue for 20mins only 3 people get on a 6 person chair. Arrrgghh!

I'll be in Tignes that week, can't think of many places I'd rather be early season.
You shouldn't have to worry about snow, the weekend saw a mega dump and there's more on the way. Freezing level also staying low, so looking good.
