Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there,
I am taking a long weekend at the end of Feb/beginning of March with a few friends. We are all intermediate skiers.
I wanted to find somewhere with excellent apres-ski too - we are all 20 and 30 somethings so looking for something lively - with a good mix of guys and girls (I heard St Anton is mainly males?).
Any advise would be welcome.
Cheers
Keef

keith904, welcome to snowHeads!
Val d'Isere isn't massively popular for nothing. The intermediate skiing is vast. There's tons of nightlife, and it's maybe a bit less male-oriented than St Anton (which I love).
Alpe d'Huez or Les Deux Alpes in the southern Alps might also be worth looking at.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

nothing against the suggestions above (yet to sample many of them), but you could also consider Zell am See.

If you're looking for a good mix of guys and girls, Verbier is good in that respect, by comparison to a lot of resorts.

I'd go with Verbier or St Anton.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

keith904, as beanie1, and Wings, say you can't go wrong with Verbier. The new La Chaux Express lift makes it an even better option for intermediates than it was and the new Carlsberg chalet on the slope above Les Ruinettes is a great place to start your apres.
To get accomodation for a long weekend at that time of year, you'll have to get a move on though. If you decide to go to Verbier, I can give you some options.

keith904, You're right St Anton is roughly 10 blokes to one girl (and she came with the boyfriend). In Verbier the girl count is slightly better but many many of 'em are chalet girls and your chances are slim.
Frankly you need less hardcore resorts... I'm amazed nobody's mentioned good old Sauze D'Oulx or Andorra. Sadly, you'll still way outnumber the ladies wherever you go... a veritable sausage-fest. Best of luck.

Why do British blokes go skiing in big groups males & expect equal amounts of woman ?
Most continentals bring woman with them. For example in Holland if you cannot take your wife or girlfriend, you would take your sister her friend or your mates girlfriend to even up the numbers. This is normal.
If your really looking for woman you need to get away from the tourist brochure rsorts and head to some of the upmarket resorts in Switzerland. Davos,Klosters,St Moritz. Here you will find loads but dont forget to bring your Plastic & it will go along way if you can apeak German, Russian
