Nothing to add but green is all the rage.

Lynn_D, got on you, I advise not typing 'avalanche from hell' in to youtube.

New Kids on the Block-Hangin' Tough was no.1 on the 19th of February 1990 8)

The Bard could not have written that any better Ian. :lol:

RE: December,

My post looks foolish, didn't realise you had mentioned December :lol: Note to self, read more carefully!!!

Who says go in December? I would recommend most months apart from December :lol:

Book yourself some nice(read: business) BA seats and take the haul, you will thank Trencher and myself later.

You could even half the flight time and stop in NY/Boston for a city break on the way there/back.

There are the resorts of the Canadian Rockies too.

None of the hotels will have issues with you booking only a few days.

Trencher beat me to it. Or even Canadian Rockies? Or some of the I70 resorts in Colorado?

Bit of a change from your standard euro holiday.

I'd love to learn to ski off piste, but the thought of getting caught in an avalanche terrifies me, especially when you hear that those who know what they are doing and know the mountain well still get caught out... :shock:

I know lots of people that are well schooled in looking left and right when crossing the road, a few unfortunately have been caught out.

Seriously though, the perceived risk is a whole lot different to the actual risk. Chances are seriously slim if you are careful.
