Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

resort recommendation is needed..

Hi all.

Yet again I am after your advice.
My friend and I are intermediate level boarders. We are looking for a place for the second trip this season; only for a long weekend somewhere at the end of Feb/beg/mid March.
First time we went on 20-27th December to the Three Valleys and spent too much dosh for our liking, so looking for smth not as expensive this time.

I was wondering if you can recommend a place with an easy access (can’t really spend too much time travelling), hopefully with a shuttle/bus service from the airport available and some variety of slops with a reasonable high mountains to be sure there is some snow. Some places around to go for après skiing would not hurt either.
Last year we went to Flaine/Samoens in France and it was reasonably easy to get to from Geneva, but this year the place seems to be twice as expensive!
My friend is thinking about Norway, but I am not convinced for three reasons –seem to be bloody expensive, the mountains are not that high and the resorts seem to be too far from the airport.

Appreciating your help.
Cheers

fier, I was going to suggest Flaine! If you can leave it until after first week of March you will give yourselves more options as the French hols end 6 March ish.
What about Morzine? There's another similar thread somewhere started today.

Flaine is good, COurmayeur is great (easy access from Turin or Geneva), POrtes du soleil etc etc

Avoriaz should not be ignored, just as close, pretty much guaranteed snow, some nightlife, lots of appartments. Very good for boarders .

Check out www.grimentz.ch pratically unknown to british holiday makers, its reasonable because its for the swiss, its easy to get to ( Swiss Trains) from geneva, but most of all we have fantastic skiing and boarding - dare to be different Very Happy

If you want the best value for money there is only one place and that is Austria. I can't for the life me me think why anyone would recommend any where in France as a cheap holiday skiing wise. As for Norway forget it. Go to one of the lesser Known resorts in Austria and eating and drinking is the same price as England. I would look at Serfaus-Fiss, Soll or Stubia

freebird, shhh. wink Anyway, intermediate boarders would struggle with the amount of surface lifts and the après is somewhat peaceful for such dudes.

Nice website btw, are you in one of the new buildings up past Chez Florioz then ? I have a (petit) appt across the piste in Les Alpes.
