 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just got back from a great 9 days skiing in neiderau. And this year I have another weeks leave coming up on 12 April in the Easter hols so we are already talking about going skiing again.
This was our 3rd family outing and I have a 6 year old who's coming on leaps and bounds, managed all the reds and blacks in neiderau and aufach (albeit, fairly slowly) and an 8 year old who's a good skier and also has started to snowboard - he can get down a piste using frontside and backside turns and also manage frontside spins on the flatter parts.
My wife and I are strong intermediates, although I don't have a huge amount of experience, but have progressed quickly after 3 family holidays.
Has anyone got any suggestions for a snowsure location for Easter? I need to do it reasonably sensibally priced but good value for money is more important than overall cost. I've never driven down to France but I suppose we could look at that as an option.

alexl, Les Deux Alpes is one of the most snowsure because it has a glacier, though in April there should be plenty of skiing below the glacier. It's not too expensive a resort and you can get reasonable transfers from Grenoble with Bens Bus. The lower slopes will be slushy but they are not really worthwhile anyway - lots of people will download in one of the lifts.
Are you looking for self-catering? Plenty of choice of places to eat, if you prefer not to cook for yourselves and some well-priced accommodation - have a look at the places at http://www.easi-apartments.com/
They will reliably reflect the descriptions.

Solden or Obergurgl? Half Board is costing us about £45 a night that week, snowsure too.

Ghost Dog, You going to Solden and me going to old faithful is going to try the patience of the snow gods.
alexl, You should have a look at Mayrhofen too, mid April is normally pretty good here too.
