Looks great fun. On my (very long) wish list!

Bit of a domestic developing in chez BB. I'm all for fitting in a trip in the first week of Easter. Maybe Val Thorens or Val d'Isere. Mrs BB is adamant that we are too busy with work. She is, of course, quite correct! Do I sneak out under cover of night or do I end up wistfully looking at snow cams on the 4th April? Answers on a postcard...

I've completed the questionnaire with comments.

I have a merino wool buff which does the job for me.

also done

Can you have a word with Mrs BB? She claims we are too busy with work to fit in another ski holiday this year. I see a 'domestic' developing in the near future....

Well done Tony - great report.

We've looked at Club Med before but have been put off by quite a few negative reviews on trip advisor etc. Interesting to hear about it first hand from a j2skier.

We have always been and I think will continue to be DIY holidaymakers. We didn't really like the Crystal ski experience from March last year - the only upside being that we booked very late and got a good discount. Our recent Zermatt holiday (which I still intend to report on) was fully DIY and 100% successful. I'll work out how much it cost pp as well....

Glad to hear you all had a good time. We might be able to join the 2016 trip by the way, so looking forward to hearing about that....

You need to set up an account with photo bucket or equivalent to host your photos. Make sure they are at the correct size for the forum.

Interesting to hear that you now prefer chalets to hotels. We've gone the other way (!) and now much prefer hotels or s/c apartments to chalets. Primarily because we shared the chalet with an irritating family last time and are not keen on fixed meal times with huge portions.
