I must be the odd one out as we much preferred the skiing in Tignes (plus the VDI side of Tignes) than VDI!

Having said that I am easy to please ;) and our skiing is often based on what is looking good pn a particular weekend out of the resorts that are local! Though having said that there are some Pyreneen resorts that we do not like at all but friends love (Font Romeu being one). Thankfully we are all different or we would all be skiing in the same place!!

I don't do skiing on my own but do holiday alone and I honestly don't mind eating on my tod (well when you usually have 2 children who are eiter arguing or don't like the menu eating on your own is a real treat :) )

Soldeu is the only place I have skiied in 30 odd years where the lifts have been closed for wind! We like it there though (I know I keep saying that!!)

The snow in the Pyrenees is amazing at the moment - not so much the drive to get there!

Having said that we have had to cancel our trip skiing this weekend as I have fractured the tiniest bone in my foot!

The snow was excellent at Guzet - shame that it was actually snowing AGAIN though!! Visibility was poor and there was quite a wind so we didn't explore as much as we had hoped! Lovely little station though!

Snow is forecast all week! Hopefully will have stopped by Friday as we are off to Luz and La Mongie!

Friends went last week and said the snow was fabulous! We have skiied there mid December through mid April and always had snow - though it can be patchy! No such problem at the mo though! We are off there and Vallnord in March.

We are lucky in living close by but we have our favourites. This year we are trying new resorts though - this weekend Guzet and next La Mongie and Luz Ardiden. And though unpopular here we like Grandvalira a lot! Though as we only ever go for 2 days we perhaps have an unrealistic view of skiing there for a week!!

We are off to Guzet for te day on Saturday - and there is more snow forecast! Can't wait - upto now January has been a white out due to illness/ road conditions!

Have a fab trip everyone! Tignes is such a fab resort and the snow looks fantastic!
