But it sounds like an awful lot of work - typing all that up, especially for people who have been to lots of resorts. Maybe I'll have a go doing it later ...

Yes I know, I'm half way through mine.

With all the discussions around resorts and their relative merits or otherwise, how about listing each resort/ski area you've visited and giving the pros and cons of each, plus a rating out of 10? Perhaps a comment on who the resort best suits.

Just make sure you book an average week, or the stats won't mean a lot.

St Anton isn't really about the pistes, it shouldn't be the first resort on the list if you're not venturing off piste. It's still good, but Lech or Zurs would be a better base.

Felthorpe, is that the Cascades run? Fabulous run if it is.

Having stayed in 4 of the 3V resorts, I think Meribel Mottaret is the best base.
We stayed here last year and I can't recommend it highly enough.

One lift up and over into the Meribel valley and down into the trees.

I'm not a big fan of Turin airport if that's any help... I'll get my coat.
