Me too. It's up to Megamum and saying where she was could even cloud her report i.e. people commenting "If only you had gone to …..". etc. It would be another matter if there was any specific praise/criticism of the resort itself but as Megamum said

Look...she went to La Rosiere.
Bad snow, but even so:
Fully booked and turning customers away. Obviously DavidTraxx did a flippin good job!
The Swiss love it. DavidTraxx did a VERY good job.
Let Megamum live in her delusionary state...let her carry on thinking that we don't all know the secret that is La Rosiere.
Let her bask in the smug knowledge that she can get accomodation in La Rosiere while the rest of us have to put up with the secondary resorts of the world.
And if by some slight chance it is not La Rosiere...at least now Magamum will know where she should go next time!

Megamum, shame the conditions were not better, you had a similar experience to us at christmas, the slopes were very icy and I completely lost 'my bottle' a couple of times, but willed myself on and I think improved, we have a weekend in LDA next week without kids! so I can concentrate on getting me down without worrying about the kids (even though they are far more capable and confident than me)!
I don't think you need to apologise for the controversy, you can't please all the people all of the time! you got your reasons for keeping it quiet, I don't personally have a problem with that, but others do. don't worry about it, will soon be old news!

rungsp,
Well last week I was in La Rosiere
Megamum was not there
The snow was fantastic
The resort seemed fully booked
I stayed at the david@trax chalet and the food was of gourmet standard
There were many snowheads in La Rosiere at some stage last week and we all had a fabulous time
Guess which resort the kids want to go back to next year

Don't want to upset you further Brian, but the last SCGB missive I saw featured one of the senior members of the hierarchy reporting on the surprisingly good snow she encountered in Grimentz.
It's the new black.
re. the thread, imho anyone going to the lengths of putting 'x' in the middle of a report posted to  must be v.v. naive if hoping to avoid pointed remarks or is suffering from a bit of on-line attention defecit thingy. If the former, then I hope that this doesn't put you off, if the latter, then congratulations !

brian, You should know better than most the answer to that question, if not then you shouldn't have bought a place in XXXXXXXX
We had a great holiday despite 2 half days of rain. The buzz was no less than on our previous visits.

pendodave, the poster has aways openly kept her fave place a secret. I know where she is coming from and am beginning to wish I had never mentioned La Rosiere as it seemed slightly busier this half term

Frosty the Snowman, can you see Arc 2000 & 1950 from La Rosiere ?
I only ask as we were having bets as to the resort we could see looking across from 1950 & 2000, my money is on LR.

Yup, you can see La Ros from parts of Les Arcs.

I met a chap on the plane coming back from Zurich and he said that he and his wife now prefer to search out little-known "locals" resorts, because they're not really interested in the apres, they just want to enjoy the relative peace and quiet and pretty skiing. And no, he didn't give me any names either
I went to a lovely little place in Austria one year, called Gruenau im Almtal (I think the area is Kasberg), but "little" was the operative word, and it was relatively low (only 1600 m at the peak) with only about a dozen lifts and 40km of pistes. Fortunately, we had great snow cover, so it was in very good condition, but through personal choice I wouldn't go back somewhere as small as that again for anything longer than a weekend, pretty though it undoubtedly was.
But it's horses for courses, isn't it? I'm sure if people want to search out these hidden gems the information is out there, and I can understand locals' worry about the Peter Mayle effect to some extent, but not everyone wants to rush to these places. I struggle to choose from all the resorts that I DO know about - so many of them, so little time.

SteveKirby, I think, depending on the topic, the perspective and opinion of someone who has little skiing ecperience has equal weight and value as someone who has skied for many years. I have found the incite provided by the original poster(who has skied more than once) to be often very interesting. Perhaps www.epicski.com would be more up your street.

bh1, no I haven't. I still don't know where she stayed. I don't think any other snowheads, mods or otherwise do either. megamum has communicated by PM with mod (but not me) her reasons for her resort remaining anonymous. I don't happen to agree, but I respect her decision.

SteveKirby, bh1, Whilst I can see your points of view, I hardly think that this is worth getting worked up about, and besides I think there are some clues in her original post that might just give away Megamums resort . . . unless I am barking up the wrong google.

Unfortunately I think it speaks volumes about where this forum is heading when someone who has been skiing once has posted over 700 times, then publishes a report on a resort they will not name
|
Not very fair, skiing experience is not required to post on this forum, many of Megamum's posts have been questions about skiing to help her progress in the sport. I certainly wouldn't want people put off posting here just because they have haven't skied much.
The report wasn't on the resort, it was on her skiing experience.

Sage, agreed - and at least Megamum is posting about skiing. Some seem to post but never about skiing, some in the past have appeared to have stopped skiing and continue posting. Takes all sorts... It would be a shame if one had to prove evidence of ability to post.

SteveKirby, it is nice (!) to see how welcoming you are to less experienced skiers. Thank goodness you didn't reply to her earlier threads, as you would have put her off skiing for life!!
