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

gorillamanjac, 'big' would be a good word for it. Tignes and Val d'Isere make up the Espace Killy, which is pretty bloody big and includes some excellent skiing, on and off piste, by anyone's standards. It's probably the most impressive (which is not necessarily the same as most enjoyable) regions I've skied in.
The upper resorts of Tignes (the ski in ski outski ones) are modern and considered by many to be hideous. I thought that Val Claret, the highest 'village', was not too bad. The lower villages are rather picturesque.
I've never stayed there, but I guess that Val d'Isere would be a better bet than Tignes for a season.

Tignes is a better place to base yourself for the season I'd say.
Cheaper. Higher. Oh, and you've got Jacks club.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
