top tip for you - cut your toenails as short as possible, it'll make your boots much more comfortable.
and, if any of you get cold fingers, I'd highly recommend the hand warmer sachets, they really work.
you'll love it. enjoy :thumbup:

Sort Obergurgl out for me would you please admin :roll:
I've only got 55 days to go...........

You cant look cool in crap clothes. But then you are women, and what you think is cool usually isn't. Including hairy chests, probably )

Once again, I have to disagree with your first sentence and, funnily enough, I disagree with your last one too :lol:

Touché :mrgreen:

Mr H, I think this is one argument you can't win )

It's a great shame, Where to Ski and Snowboard used to have a fab website that you could put in your top three priorities, eg: beginner, cost, nightlife, etc, etc and it'd come up with great suggestions. The website has now completely changed :cry:

Tony's list is worth looking into. In that list I've experience of Les Arcs and Obergurgl both of which I'd highly recommend for you. The latter is very expensive but, if you're going outside of school holidays, you may find somewhere within your budget. In Les Arcs I'd head for 2000, cheaper than 1950 but fantastic slopes for beginners. I've been to Alpe D'huez too but it was a very bad holiday for many reasons so my vision is blurred.

In your position, and knowing what I do now, I'd agree with Tony and look at Obergurgl, Les Arcs, Cervinia and Saas Fee. All major resorts (Obergurgl less so) so if you fancy something a little more off the beaten track these might not suit your taste. Niederau is worth a look too, very good beginner slopes.

Skiing or boarding is the big question :P

Its all part of it though, Bandit.

you're either cool or you're not, regardless of what you're wearing or doing 8)

But what you are wearing is all part of what makes you cool or not.

Sorry Tony but I couldn't disagree more :twisted:
You could put an uncool person in so-called cool clothes but it wouldn't make them cool.
You could also put a cool person in naff clothes and they could still pull it off.
It's not possible to make yourself cool 8)

If the second week in Jan in set in stone I think I'm going to have to bow out :cry:
It's looking extremely likely that our group holiday will be new year week 2011.
