I'm pretty much settled on VT for Easter 2015, anyone know any good apartments?

Many get shocking reviews :-(

That piste map needs a serious update/redesign. It really is rubbish.

Tip, if ur planning on skiing Montgenevre then get a bus there. Skiing there is slow and involves downlifting at points.
Tip, take a book or your kindle for some lifts, esp clotes.

For someone that has skied a lot of places i must admit to surprise at hearing you say that, maybe i skied a different Sauze or maybe you're not the skier i imagined you to be.
I found the skiing there to be really timid and all in all a bit 'boring'. I had a good week there but that was down to the company and the lovely weather and not because of the variety of terrain.

Whenever i have been away skiing i always felt i had learned something new or developed my skiing in other ways. The milky way didn't do that for me. There was not one part of that place that had me up at dawn and all excited, i will be skiing somewhere with a bit more bite in the future.
Sauze is firmly for early intermediates.

Looking at VT or possibly La Plagne for Easter next year.
Easters quite early so although still risky booking early it's not as bad as it could be.

Everyone I ski with who wears a helmet has the worst hair when they take it off.

I don't have that problem at all.
:mrgreen:

Me neither strangely

Sauze D'oulx is bad, worst map I have used. Some marked runs don't exist anymore.

^ That.

Also wondering how you can call it a J2Ski trip when obviously it was organized privately and your not inviting people to book with your group (discount) but to make their own arrangements with crystal?
Didn't see any of these discussions myself.

IMO the ONLY place to mount now. Chest Harnesses are rubbish, they shake and you look like a dog on a lead.

Not sure where you got that from, obviously not experience.
The chest mount is probably the most stable mounting point, the elastic and your own clothing adds stability and absorbs the shake where as the helmet just bobs around.
IMO you look a nob with it on your head and use it mounted there very rarely.
