Hi Badgerdot,
We would suggest you look into Livigno resort in Italy for a March Ski get away. It is one of the highest reports in Europe with pistes to 3000m, so the skiing is pretty good. Also Livigno is a tax-free destination, which means that food and drink are excellent value here - and you can fly to Livigno from Manchester! I think we covered all your points!

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

I hadn't realised that there is an airport at Livigno. Are there flights from other UK airports?

Livigno is very nice and reasonably priced BUT it's a VERY long transfer - you're looking at least 3.5 to 4 hours from any airport, with the closest being Milan / Bergamo (almost half-way across Italy). I've done it for a weekend but it really eats into skiing time. For what you are looking for, you could try places like Tignes (flying to Grenoble or Geneva), Avoriaz or Chamonix (Geneva) or Hintertux glacier (Innsbruck).

Since March 14th is hardly late season most of the normal resorts should be OK. If we go for a weekend it is often that weekend.
March 14th will take you into the end of the half term weeks in France and accommodation may be a problem. It may be easier a couple of weeks later.
Last year we went to Gresoney. We flew into Milan late on Friday night, skied Saturday and Sunday then flew back late on Sunday. A remarkably low cost weekend. On other occasions we have flown to Lyon, or Geneva and skied places such as Les 7 Laux, Val Morrel, Les Arcs, Tignes. To make a long weekend work you should really be looking for latest return flights and if you cannot make the last flight out on the evening then very early flights out.

Sorry for the confusion we have caused! We offer a deal with the transfers included from Manchester to Livigno. The transfer is pretty long, but for the price we think it is worth it.
