We are going on a 10 day trip in March and due to accomodation restrictions, we've ended up in Samoens/Grand Massif. I have to admit to being more than a bit nervous now. I've heard of icy tracks (and me not the greatest track woman at the best of times), mental speed freaks in Flaine, treks to the gondola. Why didn't you check this out before you booked, I hear you ask - well we did but we wanted to try out staying in a chalet and have never skied in France and the town sounds cute .....
Haven't it fully paid for yet though

Think I am in a bad situation here as I started skiing about 9 years ago. Done 17 European trips. In my spreadsheet record I have 83 entries on the resorts I have visited with a small number of repeats in early days. In the last 10 trips I skied on average 8 to 10 resorts in each trip.
There are still so many names to cope with. Austria alone has more than 320 resorts. Despite having skied 12 countries, if England, Scotland and Netherland can be counted, I still haven't done the USA, any resort south of Briancon in France. upmarket resorts like St Moritz and Davos in Switzerland. Garmisch Partenkirchen is the only German resort I have tried and there is nothing Spanish in the resorts I have visited. South America, New Zealand and Australia are unknow territories to me but I am going to ski my first Asian resort in March when visiting Japan in a few weeks.
If I have to make a list it can only depress me.
The only comfort I could draw is I am reasonably certain that the European resorts are biggest (if not the best) by a comfortable margin and so at least some of my time has been worthwhile.

I've been there, but I really really want to go back to Steamboat, Co.
Just something about the place that I loved, arrival of kids meant an end to long-haul flights, which is a good think looking at the thread over on the piste.
Otherwise fancy Canada and NZ

Not to knock you specifically, Helen Beaumont. But I can't help to find it funny people put a whole continent or country (or a state the size of a small country) in a list with resorts. Like: Zermatt, St. Anton, Japan, South America etc.

abc, Coming from an American ... many/most of whom believe doing Europe ( the whole, not skiing) is a '7-day' trip, and think Australia is close to Britain .. that's rich !!!
