Using Banff and Levi at the start of the year wouldn't be clever. You can ski at Sunshine Village, Banff in May and Levi in June.

OMG

The point she was making was that there was absolutely no logic behind what you asked!

Did you literally just mean random resorts, or did you mean name a resort you ski in THAT particular month of the year?

Yes Tony Thankyou . Sorry didn't explain myself well as usual, i was wondering as in May/June time is there anywhere to ski, so hence the question for each month where can you go to ski.

Much respec cause you have skiied all the named places, and that is above and beyond the question.

So, modifing the question slightly, along these lines....How many resorts have you skiied In different countries, in a 12 month peiod.

Because I know I am going to get slaughtered on this by several J2ers, including, I suspect, Ise, Bandit and maybe Admin.... I gotta get my name up on the board early, so...

last year~
3Vs, Zermatt, Cervinia, Niederau, Glenshee.

1974~
Flaine, Niederau, Cortina, Aviemore, Cross Fell, Perisher Valley
