DJ, i think "eu" is an acceptable alternative for a "u" with an umlaut
are you calling them out for missing the cedilla in Briancon?! you're a harsh man!

Arno, just playin'...
but
ü becomes ue not eu
and I let 'Provencal' go, so not that harsh.

Is it
A year ago, the top French resorts such as Courchevel and Val d'Isère were the most expensive on the planet.
I'm pretty sure A$pen makes it a point of pride to give the least bang for the buck to keep the riff raff out.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

I am very surprised at their suggestions and very much doubt they are best value at all.
Best value overall is probably in Eastern Europe somewhere. Best value in France is probably somewhere like les orres or puy st vincent. In the Italian section they mention ski 2 in champoluc - I contacted them and their prices were quite expensive for a family of 4.
I doubt these travel writers ever venture off the beaten track and appear to just visit the most well known resorts listed in the large TO brochures.

St. Anton in best value...
never - sure it's a great place yada yada, but the ski shop maffia put's their rental prices through the roof...

You know it makes sense.

Got this beauty from the Telegraph 2008, still on the web
"Wengen lies perched above the spectacular Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönsch mountains."
It's a heck of a climb back to the hotel at the end of the day then ?
To be fair, they get it right in the main text.
