All those previously mentioned are good bets, plus you might look at Tignes, Saas Fee and Avoriaz.

Hi Iceman

Remember that you should have hospital and other medical cover under European E111 card. However, this will not cover you for on piste injuries, but, depending on where you are staying opt for the local ski insurance at the resort when purchasing your ski lift. This insurance will cover you for anything on piste including helicopter removal and onward journey to medic centre or hospital whatever is required. This type of cover in France and Italy is usually 1.50euro per day. Hope this may help. Colpam

Hi Broosky

Obergurgly price outrageous. Try the Skiset website-had a look today for Obergurgl, one week in February with 'evolution package' for skis and boots at 139 euros. Good luck. Colpam

Try CG Ski catered chalet, maximum 10 persons. Go to website cgski.co.uk, La Plagne/Montalbert, 50 metres to 1st lift. Ask for Giles, mention Colin for a great deal.

Take a look at La Clusaz. One of the very nearest French resorts to Geneva-about 1 hour by car. Nice village, good intermediate skiing with also plenty of blue and black runs if you want them. Stayed three times for a weekend only and takes some beating for all round convenience and atmosphere. Colpam

OK Mattski. You won't be too old to work in Val d'Isere and furthermore you don't need to speak French there-there are more Brits in Val d'Isere than there are French. Also, bags of chalet accommodation. Try Silver Ski website for employment. Colpam.

Breckingridge, Vail, Beaver Creek and Aspen would give you what you want. Regular bus/taxi services from Denver to the first three resorts. Best bet for booking would probably to use one of the ski companies (Crystal, Thomson, Ski Independence) who will arrange everything for us (at a price!). Good luck Colin. PS Utah (Salt Lake city) can be a little 'staid', big mormon influence.

Hi Matt.Why not give Breckenridge/Vail, Colorado a try? Very long season and plenty of chalet accommodation. As a European alternative St. Anton ticks all the boxes. Good luck Colin
