 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there, my boyfriend and I are looking to go away right after christmas and come back after new years, so spend new years eve there. We're looking for something chilled out and quite romantic, i.e, wood log cabin, raging fire and hot chocolate, but with somewhere really cool to go on new years eve (we're both early 20's)... and great skiing/ boarding of course a must (we're both intermediate)!! We've never booked our own ski holidays before and are not sure where to start!! we were thinking of Whistler in Canada, but are also quite taken with the idea of Austria or somewhere closer to home in Europe.
Any ideas of what mountain and what resort can offer all this would be absolutely amazing!!
Thanks!!!

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

Whistler is a cluster**** on New Year's for the tourist - expect to pay up to $150 a head for dinner & ent if you can book somewhere. Massive police presence enforcing dry zone on the streets, mobs of yoof up from Vancouver. Alternatively pizza delivery and an early night and enjoy the uncrowded slopes the next day.

FAQ
You will find that dates on offer, wherever you want to go, will be 27/12 - 3/1/09 (or 28/12 - 4/1), to take in New Year, be prepared to book a full Saturday - Saturday or Sunday-Sunday week. There are plenty of resorts that could offer you most of what you want, but do you know if you are looking for a catered chalet shared with others, or a self catered apartment on your own, which may not have the log fire etc ambience you are looking for 
I don't ski at NY as it's a bit too busy for my tastes 
but sure others will be along with some ideas for you
