I have used TDC. Very good!

But might it not be useful for improving technique before hitting the snow? Is there any technical reason why this isnt a good idea?

Has anyone come across anything like this?

A place is setting up beside us with one of these.

It looks like a big conveyer belt that can change slope that you can ski on. I assume the belt can change speed. The surface looks like a bristle type make up.

TDC in both VDI and Tignes. This is a british company with British instructors so language isnt a problem. Great instructors.

I always prefer Tignes. The runs back to VDI at the end of the day aren't great - icy, chewed up and packed.

Are any Austrian resorts Snowsure?

Just an associated query re Cervinis - are there any English speaking schools (i.e. with teachers who have engish as their first language)?

+1 for Tignes. My favourite resort.
