Hang on - seems really expensive to me!
Alpe D'Huez - with Sport 2000. 6 days
free ride skis + multi ride (change as much as you want) + insurance = 112.20 E
or - 85.20 + 15.00 + 12.00
Cham87 first Saturday as most stuff was out. Changed to Head Rev 90 then Rossi Sin 7 (brand new).

After my first visit to Alpe D'Huez at the end of January I was amazed at the quality and quantity of novice/beginners slopes all around above the main town at 1850m.
I can't think of any resort I have visited where there is such abundance of green runs that are both gentle (in slope) but also interesting in the way they wander around all over the place.
Brilliant place to learn and progress.

Half term 2017 so flights not yet released Dave.
I think you will get rewards flights in the next few weeks. What this needs is regular checks of the BA.com website.

You should invest in a lift pass next time !!
:)

What I am struggling with is that Dave Mac was allegedly in ADH from 7th February but now seems confused about resort names and where a particularly well known ski run actually is!
Puzzling.........

However, should you have planned to ski the Sarenne......

You would be fine as it is in a different resort!

I have been to the FD in VDI - and had a very enjoyable time.
Food is excellent - and of high standard.
The Cabaret is great fun and well done.
But do leave before the yobs, drunks, strippers etc etc arrive towards the mid to late afternoon.

It's about pay and staffing levels.

I note that the resort has managed to keep a few lifts open! Doubtless enough so that refunds on lift passes don't come into it.
