Hi,
I have just (as in the last 5 mins!) booked a week in Claviere with my girlfriend. We are just about absolute beginner boarders and have accordingly booked lessons. Just wondering what you think of the resort generally, for boarders and for beginners. |

We'll probably be booking within the last couple of weeks with a budget of about £500 to £600 each inc. lift passes, lessons and hire.
But if the chalet is worth the extra we'd pay it. |

Hi,
My girlfriend and I are planning to go to Europe on Feb 20th for a week. My girlfriend is a complete newbie and I haven't boarded for about 10 years. She will be undertaking two taster coarses at Chill factor, one for skiing and one for boarding to make her mind up before we go. I am definitely planning to board again, of a fashion anyway! There is plenty of advice about good beginner resorts, clothing etc on the net and I'm quietly confident that I can piece all that together myself. However, I cannot find much info on :- a) whether its best to go for a chalet, hotel or self catering accommodation. Catered chalets sound appealing but I've no idea what the standard is like and if it will work out cheaper for food and drink. or b) How is best to book lessons and hire eqipment. I will probably be booking the holiday through Igluski as their website is the best and cheapest, but I don't think i can book the lessons and boots and boards through them. All advice is welcome. P.S. If anyone can recommend some very long fitting snowboard pants that would be great. I'm 6ft 5" tall, so will need some in the region of a 36" inside leg. Yes, I am a freak! Thanks |
