Icy - wants March
Tony H - Thinks it's too early to consider 2014
Old Andy - said he'd love to come if he could manage it
Bandit - possibly might be considering it - I don't really know
Dids - would like to come 'one day'
Old Boarder - wants Feb or March
Felthorpe - doesn't seem to mind which month
Daved - wants last 2 weeks of Jan or 1st week of Feb
Far Queue - wants January or March
Bedrock Barney + 1 - wants late Feb or early March
Tonypants - not March
Joe Colin - wants January or February
Brooksy - doesn't want school holidays and prefers the cheaper holiday dates if possible
Randyrat - has a group of 4 people, and prefers the last week in January and somewhere not too expensive.

Have I left anyone out, or accidentally included anyone I shouldn't have?

Here are the places suggested so far for 2014:

Snapzzz - Zermatt, Sella Ronda, Les Portes du Soleil
Crispyapplepie - Morzine, St Anton, Alpe d'Huez
Daved - Milky Way, La Plagne (Montchavin and Champery), La Clusaz, Verchaix/Grand Massif
Old Boarder - Les Deux Alpes
Dids - Samoens/Grand Massif
Andyhull - chalet The Lodge in Val d'Isere with Skiworld (around £700-£750 all inclusive except ski hire, January prices)
Tony H - Niederau
AllyG - 3 Valleys

Any more places/ski areas anyone would like us to consider? Would anyone else like to go on the list of those potentially interested for 2014?

I have added Randyrat to the list of those interested in this 2014 group holiday.

Tony H said:
Oh God, I can't take this kind of pressure

Tony - I will leave you on the list then, to ease the pressure, and you can make up your mind at a later date :D

I'm surprised no-one's suggested the 3 Valleys yet. I think I will add it to the list.

Most of the places/ski areas that have been suggested so far are in France. Has anyone got any favourites in Italy, Switzerland, or Austria that might be suitable for the group?

We may have beginners (like we have for the Jan 2013 trip) so ski resorts need to be suitable for all levels of skier/boarder.

Tony - if you're quite sure you definitely don't want to come with us in 2014 I will take you off the list.

That was very clever of you :thumbup:

I couldn't even manage that on a gentle slope outside a cafe - when I tried it I skidded off and landed flat on my face (luckily without hurting myself or anyone else) :lol:

Bandit,
You're quite right, I have been off-piste with an instructor, but only really down the side of a piste, or between 2 pistes. I should have said I am too cautious to go off-piste without an instructor.

I thought the itinerary routes were avalanche controlled? I'm pretty sure they are in Tignes - the ones that are basically ungroomed (but patrolled) black pistes.

That looks horribly steep :shock:

How on earth did you get down from there :?:

Thanks for the lovely photos Dave Mac :D
