Mate, get yourself to Baquiera. They've had a load of snow again this season and I've read that they've replaced some of the older lifts.

I'm gutted I didn't get away this season after all (knee injury in Dec, op in Feb didn't go well) so massively looking forward to next season. Trying to convince the Mrs that 3 trips will be allowable, as I've now missed 5 seasons!

So, after 4 years away from the slopes I was looking forward to having a slide this year. Not long after booking the holiday, I suffered a knee injury which required surgery. Thought I was making good progress but for some reason, recovery has stalled and I now can no longer make my trip.

What I having going is two spaces at a half board catered chalet in Morzine, about 10 mins walk from the Super Morzine Bubble, booked for w/c 13th March (this Sunday). Also includes transfers to and from. Would require you sharing the chalet with 8 other lads (who I was going with as part of the group). I can ask about changing name on flights or you could look at booking them yourself. It's the 7.05am EasyJet flight out from Luton.

Anyone interested, PM for details etc

Haha TonyH, expected you to chip in with Niederau! I've been there, quite enjoyed it at the time because it fitted the bill...first ski trip in 13 years for me, first ever ski trip for the wife and kids. And so Niederau with its excellent ski schools and easy runs was exactly what we needed. Would I go again? Don't think so.

And don't forget I went to BB in 2012 with Ski Miquel. Had a fantastic time, the resort is great and they get huge amounts of snow. Would definitely return.

Not sure if I was noticed as AWOL, I wasn't the biggest contributor etc so not holding my breath :D

Anyway, after 3 years of not skiing at all, whatsoever, I'm finally heading back to the slopes. Have booked Morzine w/c 19th March and hoping to take the kids for a short break in Feb. On this note, does anyone have any suggestions of who to use for a reasonably priced short break?

Are people still Niederau bashing? Has anyone else been championing skiing in Spain?

Great pics fella and a great report.

You've just described my wife.

Well, except for the nice part.

This is in Bolivia

My wife is pretty good at taking pictures and this is one of my favourite ones. It's in the Black Masse Plains in Arizona.
