agreed, but it would have to be for 2 weeks due to the length of time it takes to get there and I don't think my legs/knees would hold up for 2 weeks skiing on the trot :oops:

I'm sure there are more reasons than that.

you've obviously never stayed in one of the legendary Scarborough beach huts :lol:

Ise do you have insider weather knowledge that us mere mortals are not privvy too :?: Or liek the rest of us are you simply wishing it to be true :?:

My last flight out of there we were diverted to Munich, the day Freezy flew in I believe, because of thick fog.

yep that was us :cry: sat in stansted for an hour before taking off and then just crossing into Austria had to turn back and sit at Munich for 2 hours (because the fog was so bad they SHUT the airport)or so before we could finally head to Innsbruck, got there and whadayaknow :?: not a spot of fog :!: then got made to sit on the transfer coach for another 90mins. baaa baaa :!: thanks C***TAL ski holidays :wink: Got chatting to a local at the airport whilst waiting for our bags and apparently the local pilots fly in and out no problem but even they couldn't fly it was that bad. So for all those flying to Innsbruck this season I hope you don't experience anything as bad.

don't know about Seattle but it certainly seems to overhere :cry:

okay, so here's how I see it. I haven't got the time or the money to search out these hidden gem villages that are most probably well worth the effort so I book mainstream TO. When leafing through the brochure the only thing that jumps out of the page about French resorts is the cost. I'm sure that the skiing is superb but if I want to sleep in a car park in the middle of winter I can do that quite well at home thank you very much. This is why I mostly go to Austria, the resorts seem much more human if that makes sense. I do think the French people suffer from an image problem in much the same way the as Americans do, and if you visit places like Paris you're you're bound to get the impression that they're rude, but is that any different from people in London or New York? Probably not. I'm sure that France is very nice, it must be because it is the number one destination for UK skiers with Austria 2nd so perhaps it's not so bad after all :lol:
