 Poster: A snowHead
|
Looking for inspiration again. Planning on going skiing for a week starting the weekend of 4/5th February, with my friend who is an outstanding skier. We are looking for-
Luxury accomodation (Scott Dunn last year)
Ski Hosting
Extensive, varied, and challenging skiing.
A nice resort atmosphere, with good apres, although nightlife isn't essential.
Ideally should be relatively easy to fly to from Edinburgh and the Midlands.
To make it harder, we have to have seperate rooms, and ideally would be looking for a bit of a late booking bargain in terms of money off, not so bothered by total price. 
Suggestions please?

Do you want a good off piste resort, or lots of pistes to ski?
How about Val D'Isere for the posh side, and good skiing, with St Foy down the road?
Or stay in Les Deux Alpes, plenty of good skiing there, with La Grave a possibility?
Regards,
Greg

gregh, Val is great, but we've been there too many times already. We're looking at both on and off-piste.

I'd suggest Alagna/Gressoney/Champoluc, but check the snow first, it wasn't good last time I checked ( a few weeks back), think the better hotels may be in Champoluc.
How about Morzine? http://www.thefarmhouse.co.uk/ is a very nice chalet with tons of character, looks like they have space - , just checked only a double, is he a good friend 
What about Chamonix? This is the mutts nutts hotel: http://www.hameaualbert.fr/

last thought for the night, how about looking into Utah, Jackson Hole. Wymoning or the Colorado resorts? I got a cracking deal a few years back to Vail last minute.
Tons of snow out there in all those places.

Kramer, looking to pull then?
How about Andorra, Sauze d'Oulx, Meribel?

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I'm more looking to see if anyone has seen any specific deals when looking on the internet, rather than just resort suggestions please.
Plake, Andorra and Sauze aren't really our type of thing, I've already been to Meribel once this season.
Ideally we're looking for somewhere in Austria or Switzerland.
boredsurfin, we've both done Mark Warner in the past, we're keeping an eye on them as a back up, but would really like to do something a bit special this year.

Kramer, Have a look at Optimumski - lovely chalet in Le Pre - part of Les Arcs. Lovely offpiste in the trees...

You know it makes sense.

Kramer, igluski had some Swiss deals online last week.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Optimum ski look promising, shame that it's in Les Arcs, and looks a little quiet from the apres ski point of view. Thanks for the suggestion though. Please keep em coming.

Kramer, not the Jungfrau Region  as I don't think you would find it challenging enough, though it's certainly up to many of your other requirements

Kramer, yes there is but it's dependant on weather plus having a guide to show you where to go, mind you you could join the DHO or the SCGB and ski with them usually at least one of their reps will do an off piste day, sometimes both, also you can ski one day with each of them without having to join. Plenty of red runs in the area plus a lot of long runs but not many black runs
