Ok, thanks for your advice......Val Thorens it is, 11.5 hours to take off!

I have flights to Geneva early Tuesday to Friday and a hire car booked but cannot decide where to go....

Must have snow (of course), some life even so early in the season and ideally not too far from Geneva so that we can ski for a few hours on Tuesday.

Snow forecast and conditions seem to be changing hourly - I had thought Avoriaz but now not so sure.

Any suggestions based on on the ground knowledge would be most appreciated.

Cheers

15% discount off the Portes du Soleil or 20% Off Les Gets passes if booked online no later that September 30th....why wouldn't you?

Hi, sorry we filled the extra space but happy for anyone to join on if the hotel has room....

We have had a drop out from our "boys" trip to Les Gets in February. We are a group of 9 boys/men aged 44 to 60 from the Edinburgh area. Mix of barmen, accountants, pharmacists, bankers, surveyors, farmers, Lawyers etc, all devilishly funny and good looking! Mixed ability but all improver/intermediate comfortable on reds and blues but not (very) scared of blacks!
Cost will be;
c£70 to change the name on flight from Edinburgh to Geneva
c£450 for shared room on 1/2 board (eat out 1 evening)
c£45 for private transfers
Plus lift pass (c£100) and kitty!

PS Early flight on Feb 3rd returning luch on Feb 7th!

I have never had an issue with getting around. Have stayed in Morzine and Avoriaz in the last two years (Les Gets and Les crosets next season) so know the area well and have skied almost every area.
