Hi Again

i have wittled down my shortlist but still cant decide, i really want to make sure i make the right decision so it doesnt put me off going again

Im looking for a nice village resort with bars and restauraunts but not ibiza on snow

I have picked these resorts

Nideraeu
Mayrhofen
Ruka

Just wanted to get the experts opinion on them :lol:

Looking to go end of Jan/first week of Feb

Hello Again

Sorry for the millions of questions

Are there any resorts whic are snow sure in early feb, kinda worried about there being no snow :-)

Hi Tony

Thanks for this

I looked up italy and France last night and found them to be a bit expensive, i will look at the othere though.

Do you know anything about St Wolfgang or St Johana?

Thanks

Hi Tony

Im not very good with the skiing lingo (lol) so bear with me

I think we would just want gentle runs, never boarded or skied before so we wont be attempting too much anything gentle will be fine

In terms of where we go we are very open, initial thoughts are austria as it looks very nice. We are not too sure whether to avoid Bulgaira. Finlannd looks nice but again i know nothing about the area

Budget wise about £1300 all in for two, which i hope is do-able

Thanks very much

As so many of you helped me decide the skiing vs boarding i thought i would pick your brains again

We have trawled the brochures and just cant decide on resorts, we have a short lost of requirements:

Short Transfer (2 hours or less)
Good nightlife although nothing quite as ibiza on snow!
Activites
Good Snow (lol)
Good sized hotel (small little ones scare me lol)

Anyone got any good expeirences of anything, your help is very much appreciated

Hello

Thanks for your responses, i think i may have to pursuade the other half that skiing is the way to go, i dont fancy toooo many bruises

Hello
