In France, Les Menuires, Courchevel 1850 or Val Thorens. We tend to stay in Les Menuires in April (CHEAP!!) but it is still slushy going down so VT is in that case a better option. The good thing is that you still have most of the 3V open until around the 24th of April. But take lots of sun block.

We also did an Easter trip to Chatel and although lower I don't remember it being as bad as Les Menuires for slush. Avoriaz too may be an option.

Glad you are having a good time Caron and the knee is ok. Hope Ray is ok and does join us on here - he is a top bloke :lol:

Are the couple in the Camper Van still there with their dogs? The lady was dressed up in a fantastic all in one tartan ensemble on New Years Eve that Dave will remember - somehow got the impression they may have been staying for a while?

Sorry just booked flights to Grenoble from Glasgow with Ryanair, otherwise we could have picked you up on the way. Try Snowheads and Natives .... It may be useful to say what date and where you are thinking of travelling to :?:

Out on my new Punishers today, plenty of pow, though the snow felt a little heavy. We were still in freshies at 3pm :D

Translation :

I'm having an OK time cause my leg muscle are playing up, I'm not very technically minded, been out on my new skis today, Plenty of powder, legs are not what they used to be, translation now breaking up no idea what "We were still in freshies at 3pm" is all about ????

How did I do did I get close ???? :wink:

Either it is the name of a BAr or Fresh Tracks?? :lol:

PS I still do not understand why I have got 5 stars???

Get to bed Dave - you are ski-ing in the morning - you lucky B :lol:

I hope Mrs Mac is not on tonight!! My teenagers loved the Cave Bar and met some lads from the British Virgin Isles in there who thought it was effin awesome man.... :lol:

You don't need to drive all the way to Kitzbuhel just through Kirchberg is a gondala called the Fleckalmbahn which has a huge car park and you never need to park that far away from the lift. This takes you from 800m to 1800m in one go to the main bowl from Kitzbuhel. It takes about 25 minutes from Niederau.

Hopfgarten which links into the SkiWelt area is only 15 minutes away from N but at New Year was mega busy and was not as easy to park as Kirchberg so we only went once. The ski area is well connected and larger than Kitzbuhel so if you are going out of season will be a good option. The All Star card (which covers N, Ski Welt and Kitzbuhel plus others) is 205 Euros for 6 days - only 50 more than the Wildschonau Pass so in my opinion well worth it. It does not however cover Maryhofen...

As Tony says N is a good base for touring many other ski areas and a lovely place to wake up and spend time in the evenings - enjoy :lol:
