Still snowing here - we had a lot of wind too so drifts of about 2ft in places. Saw someone trying to snowboard down the hill by our house this morning. Unsuccessfully I might add.

I love Val D'isere - you will have a fab time! I personally wouldn't wear ugg boots apart from in the hotel, or not walking through any snow unless they are waterproof (?).
I always take far too much stuff for off the slopes clothing, and I always get too hot when I'm inside (hotel, bar etc) and freeze to death when I go outside, so, as someone else said I believe, layering is the key to this issue. Have fun! |

:roll: I take less luggage than my OH I'll have you know! Personally I would advise Val D'isere, lots of accommodation choice, nice mountain restaurants (one with bbq if it's still there), half hour from Bourg, lots of great runs to chose from. One thing I did notice about going on the Eurostar(although going 1st class you probably won't have this problem) was that they seemed to put people without kids in one carriage and people with kids in another, so as we didn't take the kids with us we were in with all the rowdy teenagers vomiting at 3 in the morning and sleeping in the overhead luggage racks. Maybe that was just our experience. |

On and off in Hampshire!

If you book on the net you get a £40 discount per person therefore cancelling out the 'late booking fee'. |

We are planning on going on 28th Feb for a week with a late deal and have been monitoring on a regular basis.
Some websites have amazing deals, I found one last night h/b, flights and transfers to Val d'iesre for £299. Leaving tomorrow if you fancy it! Crystal also seemt to have a lot of last minute bargains. I love a bargain me :D |

I agree, I ski and board and prefer to avoid drag lifts more so on my board(buttons are better than t-bars on a board) - more often than not the mountain can be navigated by not using any drags. Don't know what happened to my previous post! |
