Hi there ..hope you enjoy J2ski..as to your question as to which resort ...depends what you want ..try and be a bit more specific..lots of people on here have skied all over Europe have a look at the various section by country and try and narrow down your choice Europe is VERY diverse you can go to from Borovets in Bulgaria ...cheap and cheerful..to St Moritz ...exactly the opposite..in between there is a vast choice from twee to modern and sprawling..

best of luck

I Agee with David . You choice will depend on type of sking you want, your budget, and dare I say your age some resorts have very little to do in the evenings which may not be a problem. Also some resorts are not snow sure early in the season.give a bit more info and I'm sure you will get lots of information.

Hi,
Last year my son went to Les Deux Alpes with these people -

He's a student and said it was brilliant.
All meals were provided and was able to go back to the accommodation for lunch.
Food was plentiful, skiing good.
Budget - but certanly worth the money.

We loved La Molina, although if you think the French are rude, you should see the Spaniards!! Its close to Barcelona so you can imagine what its like at weekends! We went Feb about 6 years ago and it was v warm, I have never combined skiing with water skiing. Whilst fun, the kit needed hosing down at the end of a day!! Enjoyed the pistes that were skiable and it was easy to get around and if I remember rightly, it was pretty cheap compared to a lot of places.
