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 :-)

Agenterre, Aren't there a couple of resorts that cross the boundaries of more than one country?

However from Libertine's stern tone, I suspect the real purpose of this thread to to see how many snowHead's will 'follow orders' and how many will 'muck about'.

(Proud to be in latter category) Cool

Libertine, your opening statement is interpretive. Nevertheless to comply with your demand:

of all the places in Europe that I've spent some time (at least a week) in . . .

France - Val d'Isere ONE LINE ANSWER

However:

Quality of lifts - Lech
Quality of snow - Courcheval
Scenery - Zermatt
Nightlife - Sauze d'Oulx in general, Galli's Livigno, Smithy's Alpe d'Huez, eosb on a given night, the wooden doors - big curtain place, Kitzbuhel
Off-piste - 4 vallees
On-piste - Val d'Isere
Lack of crowds - moving on to

North America:

All round - Whistler - there are few places that are even close in the all round stakes
Off-piste - Jackson Hole (and a lot of the 'on-trail' is pretty damn serious because it's steep and it certainly ain't pisted)
Great off-piste w/o the crowds - Grand Targhee (one of the best days skiing of my life)
Nightlife - Whistler
Trees - Whistler
Ambience - Alpine Meadows on a bbq day
Scenery - Heavenly
One ludicrous night out - Banff
Ice skating with skis on - Sunshine (great oxymoron that Sunshine resort is)

And at the end of the day and other cliches, it's all about the people you were with, the time that you had and the weather Gods wanted to play a part.

VERY INTERESTING SO FAR....... Despite a few blips, unruly snowHead I wanted help to decide where i would try and go for my 3rd trip of 2010 (budget allowing) and i wanted to see what the France / Austria divide really was for 'best resorts'.

THE SCORES SO FAR:

France - 12 votes
Switz - 9
Austria - 14
Norway - 1
Scotland - 4 Shocked Shocked
England - 2 Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

As for the actual resorts, ZERMATT is clearly winning with 9 votes and LECH joint second with 4 votes along with GLENCOE !!!! Shocked

Surprisd that no Italian resorts have featured as yet, but there are plenty more votes to come.

Thus far, the most interesting resort mentioned - to me - is Saint Sorlin d'Arves which i have not heard of before.

So, KEEP IT GOING, name your favorite ski resort stating - COUNTRY / RESORT. must be a real resort (for those areas that cross boundaries, put the country that most of the area is in.)
