Yes Chris it does get beneath the skin, my wife was much the same didn't really take to it first of all only really went because I did, but after five or six years the penny dropped that it is was not just about the skiing but the environment which you are in.
To your point it is so important that you continue your lessons every holiday as for resorts there are so many my suggestion would be pick a country then trawl the piste maps,some suggestions would be Livigno Italy, Pas de la casa and Soldeu in Andorra there are so many the list can be endless. Happy hunting, and prepare yourself for the arrival of the "N" brigade there be along soon :D

Have you been to the Arctic? Average elevation around 2300m and it's full of snow :D

I was really basing my interest at resort level where a lot of resorts are below 1000m, I do like snow at resort level it adds to the whole ambience of my holiday, and no never been to the Arctic I think I'll stick to LGb at least for one more year :wink:
