I am off for a long weekend doing a similar thing in a couple of weeks.

Personally I think the most important thing for that amount of time is to have a short transfer time to make the most of the skiing. I am off to MOrzine, just over an hour from Geneva airport - depending on flights a possibility of skiing on both day arrive and depart.

Morzine then gives you the opportunity to ski other areas such as Avoriaz that are longer transfers.

Have fun :mrgreen:

Yes boss made it :mrgreen:

I am thinking of going boarding for the first time in Passo Tonale. Anyone been? Advice on:-

1. Ski School Quality
2. Quality Hotels - We staying in Cielo Blu
3. Lift System
4. Apres Ski
5. Anything else?

Thanks fellow skiers/boarders! :mrgreen: :lol:

Thought I would reply in teh correct place re Borovets. Following on from the other comments re Bulgaria in the BAnsco thread, I got concerned so looked elsewhere for reviews.

I have found some positive ones http://www.snow-forecast.com/resorts/Borovets/reviews (sorry if you delete this link as it is a 'competitor')

They all seem to say they enjoyed it.

Each to their own I reckon.

I am going again now! :mrgreen:

What dates are you looking at Iceman? Quite a few packages to the "big four" countries going for around £400 (inc. flights, accom. and food) on departures in the next couple of weeks.

It is not in next couple of weeks. It is departure 8/9 March for a week. 2 people with boarding lessons etc.

It has to be that week due to time off work etc.

That place would cost me about £600 including lessons. Where else can I get that?

This the same for all Bulgaria? I am THINKING SERIOUSLY of going to Borovets? Possibly booking this week.

Advice? :roll:

Seriously, I would recommend you have 3 or 4 lessons at somewhere like the snowdome MK or similar before you hit the real snow, so that you dont waste 2 days learning how to do your boots up and how to stand up and fall over.

I learned in Val Thorens, but didnt think the instructors were great, and group sizes were very large, so didnt really get to learn as quickly as I would have liked.

If I had my time again, I would take one on one tuition.

However, many ski schools do not take you on as an absolute begginner these days if you have been to a snow dome or the like. Just to bear in mind. 8)
