Hey Dudes,
Me and 3 others (2 couples) plan to go off for a weeks shredding over new year but the thing is we are not sure where to go after this poor season of snow im thinking higher the better! We dont want to spend a fortune for the holiday or the booze/food where do you all recommend ?

Head high.
Make sure the village is at atleast 1800 meters.
Val Thorens, Courchevel 1850, Val d'Isere, Tignes, La Plagne and St Moritz are all worthy examples.

LEs Deux Alpes, Alpes d' huezsome of the austrian glacier resorts solden obertauren hintertux, Cervinia Italy (prob cheaper than Zermatt on the Swiss side) and prob high enough to be snow sure. Skiing holiday at new year isn't going to be the cheapest time to go. I would go the week following.
Cheap booze + ski resorts Hmm almost an oxymoron

The others have kind of decided on Bansko! Which means i could end uo being there 3 times in a year! woo hoo!
Is there such a thing as a direct flight from Scotland yet?

dave_wick, I wouldn't recommend Bansko for a week unless it's tuition you're after, as the area is quite limited but the tuition is cheap and of a high standard.
It really is a fantastic place for eating and drinking out. For self-catering accomodation check out the
TalkBansko website
I normally fly from Manchester with Bulgaria Air.
