Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Thanks All, Lots of good advice.

I think the general message is:
The Alps will be busy at NY and HT even if I go to a less well known resort, I guess that makes sense because otherwise how can the lift-co stay in business
Austria and Scandinavia offer lots of options for family friendly resorts and you have given me a great list to check out
Scandinavia will be more likely to be quiet at NY and HT, but I guess it will be cold at NY?

Has anyone skied Sierra Nevada (Spain) recently? I went there a few times when I was younger and I remember there being a lot of wide blue runs and easy reds. New Year would be a massive risk there snow wise although I think they have a lot of snow cannon. Obviously no train there though.

I'm going to do a spreadsheet with all the options to weigh it all up side by side. Hopefully I'll have enough new information to avoid my analysis suggesting Arc 2000 self booked like it usually does!


Issue with Scandinavia at NY is not the cold (though it of course could be) but daylight hours.

Are the Scandinavian resorts OK for daylight at NY / mid-Feb?


Not been at NY. But Trysil in mid Feb kids lessons started at 9am and you could ski till 4pm.

The light at sunrise/sunset is really beautiful too.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I’ll give a shout out for Albiez-Montrond in the Maurienne valley.

https://www.station-albiez.com/en/

It’s easily accessible from St Jean de Maurienne on the TGV line to Turin. It’s small and very pretty with ski to door available at many properties. All the slopes bar one are fairly mellow and there’s nobody hooning around. Prices are good and there are deals for families. It’s one of our favourite places.
