If I am in the area it is a must to see :thumbup:

Looks good ...but I think I'm too old to try it :cry:

Tuff one this ....... I would say speak to your hotel, I think they may well be in the know. :thumbup:
Other wise I have attached a link to ski shops in Zermatt which will mean ringing around, good luck. Bon Sci...... :thumbup:

I was orginally think cervinia but as we have already been to Sestriere/Milyway we thought we would try another country..As we are all 40-48 we dont know how many years we have got left in us

You have plenty of years left :thumbup:

My left knee would disagree..But if it comes to that i'll take my £9.99 sledge

I have dodgy knee's and I am trying very hard this summer to strengthen
them a bit of cycling and some exercise hopefully I will get a few more years out of them, as sixty is not too far away for me :oops:

40-48, I didn't start skiing till I was 49 & have done 19 trips & am now 66.I have 2 trips booked for next season & my left knee MCL was torn 3 yrs ago, but still able to ski on 11 months later.

From my experience you could have another 20 yrs :)

Yep agree with all that brooksy, I aim to ski as long as I can but 66 mate thats really old :wink:

You're not wrong Wickers, I use walking sticks instead of poles now & they have to stop the lifts to get me on & off, but the incontinence pants cushion the impact when falling over, so mustn't grumble -)

I am not that too far behind you :thumbup:

It really does come down to the conditions in early December

I will be staying in Montpellier in December, any tips on the closest resort for snowboarding ?

Depending on the conditions your best bet is the Pyrenees
