We're contemplating Austria for our 2nd trip this coming season. Ischgl looks interesting.

I am actually really keen to try a non-french alps resort so I can view Espace Killy/Paradiski in a proper context.

Other than perhaps 'variety', from my current viewpoint I'm not sure what other resorts can provide that Val d'Isere cannot?

Hopefully I can report on this in Jan/Feb next year.

I'll play!!

Agreed. Unless I'm missing something it is not possible to restrict the search to titles only. This is a feature you see on other forums and works quite well.

they will now

I think this topic is going swimmingly.

Very interesting to see comparisons (and marks) between resorts in different countries, particularly from those who have skied for much longer than I have.

Not surprised with Juddernaut's marks for Aus/NZ - we shared a chalet with an Aus family last time round and I think they were totally blown away by Espace Killy. They obviously enjoy skiing at home as well but no real comparison with skiing down under and the Alps.

Thanks MM!

Not concerned about nightclubs - got those out of my system a long time ago at Uni!!

We're now immune to expensive ski resorts having holidayed in Norway and Val d'Isere!!

Skiing holidays are a special category when it comes to spending on credit cards........

you get real metal dog tags with the policy documents! I'm not sure if they are supposed to be worn?!
