Here is another option, great for sharing with friends or the whole internet.
Fairly recently Hotmail have introduced SkyDrive which gives 5Gb of free space which can be shared any way u want, so here is a folder I have created and given public sharing to:

These are all in Les2Alpes.

This may be of use:

Hi scousefly,

Unfortunately these are what tend to make ski holidays usually more than summer holidays. The prices do tend to vary depending on which resort you pick. General rule I have seen is the bigger the ski area, the more expensive.

I have hired through the tour operator and booked myself. For ski hire probably best to search on line.
e.g.
http://rentasport.sport2000.fr/uk/
http://skirental.twinner-sports.com/
you can also search on line for lift passes, but I've not seen much varriation in prices when it comes to passes. Advantage of passed through the tour operator are that they will bring them to you.

Where are you going this time?

At the end of the day best compare prices.
Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Llew

Is there anybody out there going to Les Deux Alpes 23/03/08 until 28/03/08 and up for skiing Red slopes or trying some of the safer off piste between runs?
I'd like to try down to La Grave, but don't know how to or who to organise this with?

I'm going with my wife and daughter, skiing with them at times, but they do not want to or are not up to these runs. )

Cheers,
Llew

Hi Nicx,

Sure will report back once we've been.

In the mean time is there anybody else around also going to les 2 Alpes week 23rd - 28th march. I'm looking for someone to ski with to try some off piste. My wife is pregnant and therefore will not be doing as much skiing as usual.

Cheers,
Llew

Hi SaTrinxa,

Where in Portes Du Soleil are you going?
We have been to Avoriaz twice and Morzine. Its a great area.
I'm sure you'll love it.

Cheers,
Llew
