La Plagne in just over two week's time - woo-hoo! Then Kreischberg over New Year and Mayrhofen end of Jan 
I stayed in La Thuile many years ago with many family (Planibel apartments), so obviously we skiied in la Rosiere quite a bit. All I remember was it being FREEZING.

gav_in59, yes- I have.
Good for; ski in/out, easy to get around, children and families, sun
Bad for; snow quality (south facing), wind (through the St Bernard pass- very strong makes it v cool and blows off all the snow that hasn't been melted/ sublimated by the sun) , terrain, mountain food
I wouldn't go without children

Espace Killy 6th Feb, 8 days
St Anton 20th March, 6 days
Maybe a weekend somewhere small - Switz or Austria - somewhere high, steep and uncrowded.
No North America trip this year methinks, although BA miles are burning a hole in something.

The only fixed dates are various long weekends ski touring in Jan and and March.
Local resort 1hr away is offering a season ticket for night skiing which I considering. Might do St Anton again for a week or long weekend. Other than that I will take leave on Powderdays and ski/tour the weekends.

DB, sorry this is a bit OT ..... not sure where you are in Austria, but are there any good day tours you would recommend within, say, an hour's drive of Flachau? I often visit friends in the Pongau and always interested to hear of good day tours.
everyone else, in Chamonix 23/12 - 28/12, then Tignes 28/12/ to 03/01. St Gervais 20/1 - 24/1. Further trips TBC.

As many weekends as possible at Cairngorm, probably some evenings and weekends at the Clash and probably some local xc when we get some low level snow. May well take some time off midweek if conditions are good, and may head to The Lecht or Glenshee for variety.

gav_in59, Been to la Rosiere twice. I'm not much of a night owl when skiing, so can't comment on the late night apres ski but there are (or at least were when i last visited a few years ago) some decent "happy hour" places where beers/vin chaud were just 1 euro 50.
