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

For reasons of laziness, tightwaddedness and general convenience I plead Tignes Val Claret.
Cheap,
Nice folks,
Good views,
Good height,
Good snow,
Good luck most others in ten years!?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

For the ski-ing, St Anton wins for me...... for the 'whole package' though, I really like ski-ing in Pila. Staying down the mountain in Aosta means a 25min gondola ride - but that's no sweat.
Don't take this the wrong way Snowheads, but when I'm away on holiday I need to get away from the 'Ibiza style' Brits abroad. Aosta is a working Italian town, and it's good to 'go native' occasionally.

Nothing wrong with that, I quite fancy visiting some of the Pyrenees for the same reasons. (Wouldn't go to Italy though - World Cup sores not healed yet!)

Sunshine Village - great little resort with tonnes of variety and no snowmaking!
Glencoe - because its near home and basically one big free-ride area with a good atmosphere.

Most spectacular: Chamonix/Argentier when you drive around the corner into the Camonix Valley and see those huge peaks..WOW.
Best place to ski Snowbird Utah, great powder; Kirkwood California.
Other favorites, Avoriaz (went back last week for the first time in 10 years); Jackson Hole Wyoming, great mountain, great location, greatplace.
Been to the other French resorts mentioned (except Les Duex Alp) wouldn't rush back to any of them.
Whistler, well in 2 weeks there it rained every day and I have no idea what the mountains look like cos we never saw them! Feel like I should go back but, that rain!
We stopped skiing in Europe 8 years ago because of the poor snow relaibility. When you have to book months ahead like I do you can't chose the good snow weeks. The thing with US resorts like those in the Sierras or Utah is that normally (this year has been unusual) you know there will be regular dumps of deep snow during a 2 week holiday. Even in a bad year like this year conditions at Christmas in Kirkwood were better than Avoriaz last week (and that was their best week so far!) but I still enjoyed the skiing we got.
