But despite the fact that it is expensive, the loos are horrible, and the lift attendants will shovel snow directly at you, I absolutely love France. I suspect that is why they get away with charging me more than they should for things.

Yesss! I think you're my secret twin. I also adore Bel Air. And I'm happier holidaying somewhere I speak the lingo properly and am therefore rarely treated as a tourist. (French-speaking Switzerland also has possibilities - I like Verbier.)

It does seem that its just the really big ski resorts in France that are so expensive - Espace Killy, Three Valleys etc, I guess you're paying for the mileage really. I went to LDA over new year for around £800, all inclusive, which is pretty good, given that its new year and reckon its a very good and cheaper resort than some of the more famous ones (also note it is one where there are no SKGB reps....). Some of the smaller French resorts are even cheaper, from our holiday research, but we chose not to go there as we wanted somewhere as snowsure as possible.
I do love Austrian resorts, much friendlier and cheaper, but unfortunately, I am not allowed any time off during Jan, Feb or March due to my job - I didn't know this until I joined!!! Late December and April skiing it is for me!

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

Although I have done loads of skiing in France I do find Austria and Italy a bit cheaper.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Whilst I agree food and beer is cheaper and better in Austria compared to France the problem is I spend more in Austria! Since it's cheaper and nicer (the food and def the beer) I eat more and drink more, very clever pricing model - fools me.
