 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all
I am looking to go skiing in Europe for a week commencing 19th March.
There will be 3 of us, and we are looking for somewhere lively, with some good intermediate runs and plenty of snow.
Any suggestions would be greatfully received.
Thanks

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Is your name Jules Verne?
Plenty of snow now would be Italian alps. Plenty on March 19th (2011) could be anywhere.
Can you wait a while longer and go for a last minute deal?

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

niqua, welcome to snowHeads 
I've edited the thread title so that you can go this year rather than last!

Nope, not Jules Verne
Yeah - I think that the best option would be a last minute deal - but these things are always easier to book when you know which country/region to aim for.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Sorry, that doesn't narrow the search. 95% of ski resorts are good for intermediates.
Might want to wait until 2012 for that one  But seriously, at the time of the season you should be OK anywhere.
I think what you need to tell us is how you want to travel, what sort of accommodation you want to stay and how much moolah you want to spend. Do you want to go TO? Where have you skied before, what did you like and dislike?

Aim for wherever has decent snow at the time! Early march is pretty much the best time to ski anywhere though.

That strikes me as a little pessimistic.

We are fine to fly from London Gatwick - we love catered chalets and have done two ski trips in Courchevel and La Plagne regions of France with that type of accomodation. Looking to spend up to £600 for catered chalets again - preferably ones that are fairly big so we can socialise with different groups.
The reason why I put the 'good for intermediates' was that I was looking into Verbier and saw that it was more of a ski-expert type of location. One which I would probably spend a little too much time on my bottom rather than swooshing gracefully down perfectly groomed pistes.
Seriously, really appreciate your experience guys. Thanks.

19th of March looks a great date for grabbing a package bargain. Why not see what's on offer then check google and the reviews here to see if it fits what you want

Hi,
If you liked La Plagne, please take a look at our chalet (link in my tag line).
The chalet sleeps up to 24 and is fully catered. That week is priced at £450 per person, leaving you the remainder for flights and transfers.
We are in Les Coches which is in the La Plagne, one lift away from the Vanoise expess lift letting you ski Les Arcs too. As you know, La Plagne is great for intermediates with plenty of blue runs.
Hope that helps - please get in touch if you like the look of it.
Best wishes,
Heather

Really? Pretty well catered to intermediates as well as far as I'm aware. Ticks all the other boxes, but might struggle to find something in your price range in Verbier.
If the snow is good Mayrhofen, St Anton and Ischgl are always resorts to take into consideration. Can't really get much livelier than Austria in the Alps.
