https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/15.page Latest messages posted in the topic "2012 ideas!" Not that I'm asking people to plan my next holiday but I thought it might be interesting to have some opinions/recommendations! <br /> <br /> So, the brief: <br /> <br /> <b>Group size:</b> 14 - 20 people (7 - 10 rooms) <br /> <br /> <b>Ability:</b> Mixed but mostly good intermediate or better. Ideal would be a resort with good blue/red cruises and some black steep and bumpy. <br /> <br /> <b>Accommodation:</b> Catered Chalet <br /> <br /> <b>Ski in/out:</b> If possible, but less than 500m from a lift <br /> <br /> <b>Apres:</b> Good to have a restaurant or 2 and a bar at the bottom of the last lift but nightclubs not really needed! <br /> <br /> <b>Snowsure:</b> The trip will be mid to late January so should (!) be Ok for snow most places. However there needs to be some skiing over say 2000m as a backup for bad weather <br /> <br /> <b>Location:</b> Have only done France with this group and am happy to go back (3VL, Paradiski are the usual suspects so possibly avoid them). However am open to ideas, Austria? Italy? Budget will probably void the US and Canada <br /> <br /> <b>Budget:</b>The key one! GBP650 inc flights and transfers (probably &pound;450 pp without transport) <br /> <br /> So, if you have any suggestions please let me know, (you can PM me if you have a hidden gem you don't want anyone to know about ) <br /> <br /> Many thanks in advance for your ideas! <br /> <br /> Hudman <br /> https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91521.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91521.page Wed, 27 Apr 2011 13:24:57 GMT Alpe d'Huez or Serre Che in France, St Anton in Austria, or Arabba/Selva in Italy. https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91530.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91530.page Wed, 27 Apr 2011 22:39:27 GMT Tony, stop telling people to go to Selva / Arabba in Jan. <br /> We want the slopes to ourselves!! https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91535.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91535.page Thu, 28 Apr 2011 12:12:19 GMT <blockquote> <div> <cite>Stewart Dowling wrote:</cite>Tony, stop telling people to go to Selva / Arabba in Jan. <br /> We want the slopes to ourselves!! </div> </blockquote>That isn't possible, bearing in mind how busy the Sella Ronda gets https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91544.page https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/preList/10315/91544.page Sat, 30 Apr 2011 10:08:28 GMT
