Le Grand bornand late january and then Adelboden in March, Seems ages away.

Beautiful

Every year I book and pay for my lift passes on line, and collect at an agreed point normally the tourist office,
works for me.

I am looking for a GPS unit for use when I am skiing, it should to be able to show speed in MPH as I have always been interested in how fast I ski, and have the usual stuff altimeter etc.
Does anybody out there have any experience of these devices and could perhaps recommend a unit.

I saw disabled skier's on a trip to Andorra many moons ago, I was so amazed that I could not help but follow the blind skiers down the slope. I have never forgot the experience and yes I did struggle to keep up.

I think there are pros and cons for both in group lessons you get the chance to meet like minded folk have a giggle and a beer. Or for the more serious a private lesson will allow for a more concentrated one on one lesson.
Certainly for the less experienced skier group lessons win hands down.

Have a look on the snow forecast website it has the historical snow fall

Yes you will need a lift pass at least for two of the days but the ski school will be able to give you more information.
