 Poster: A snowHead

Hi
We are trying to fit in an end of April / May ski trip in. I think Tignes or somewhere high is our only option but he wants to go to Andorra as it is duty free. Any suggestions?
Thanks

fs, Andorra will be shut by then, even if they end up with lots of late season snow.
I'd stick with Tignes and if you're looking for a short break, then give mountainsun a call as they can be pretty flexible with shorter stays.

Book EOSB.
Arrive or leave a couple days late or early.

Tignes or Andorra? That's like saying I can either punch you in the face or give you £10,000, which would you choose?

Shag him, and let him do all the horrible things to you that you've been saving for when you want a new washing machine. After wiping off you can tell him where you're going, and if he's got breath to reply he'll acquiesce. If he can't speak it'll be because you're sitting on his face. Grrr...

I think "dump him" is fine advice. What else does he guess at?

You know it makes sense.

Bode Swiller, bit late for you? Though your advice is fine.
Edit - can't believe I made that typo!!!

I wouldn't fancy his chances in a poll here.
Could one of the mods set up a poll please?

In his defence, his Andorra idea was because he is flat broke and it is very cheap.
I think we're going to go for Tignes / Mountainsun so thanks for the suggestion. The idea of dogging has scared me out of the EOSB!

fs, if he is flat broke and won't give in to your Tignes whim then I think you do need to seriously think about dumping him.
And everyone that goes to Andorra is a good skier. Or at least they seem to be on the transfer bus. Probably because a black run in Andorra is about as difficult as a Blue in Tignes.

Yes but he serves his uses - he has been known to carry my skis for me - or collect them when I crash more to the point!

Is he actually a skier or just a duty free shopper? Andorra La Vella is good for the latter but I know where I'd rather be

10 ski resorts for late season skiing
Val Thorens (France) – as Europe’s highest ski resort, most of the skiing here is over 2000m, which means the snow keeps cooler for longer and the lifts keep running until early May. Part of the huge Three Valleys ski area, Val Thorens is an excellent bet for good snow conditions even late in the season. Find cheap flights to Chambery.
Riksgransen (Sweden) – lying 200km above the article circle on the border with Norway, Riksgransen is one of the world’s most northerly ski resorts and offers the opportunity to ski in the land of the midnight sun. The best conditions are found later in the season and the lifts here don’t stop running until the end of June! Fly to Stockholm or Kiruna.
Åre, (Sweden) – Sweden’s number one resort which also claims to be Northern Europe’s largest and most advanced, Åre boasts a season that starts in November and lasts until May. With 100 pistes to enjoy plus night skiing too, Åre is a popular choice for late season skiing. Find cheap flights to Stockholm.
Tignes (France) – a ski resort with a glacier, winter sports enthusiasts can continue to enjoy skiing until early May in the main resort. Summer skiing on the glacier than starts in June, which offers an impressive 20kms of runs and a vertical drop of over 750m. Find cheap flights to Geneva.
Zermatt (Switzerland) - this famous Swiss ski resort has lifts that take you to 3899m, and offers skiing till early May, before the summer skiing begins on the glacier, meaning that Zermatt is one of the few, truly year-round ski destinations in the world. Find cheap flights to Zurich.
Saas Fee (Switzerland) – with a ski area that sits between 1800m and 3500m and has access to a glacier, Sass Fee offers late-season skiers plenty of snow, whilst at the same time has the chocolate-box charm that is not always found in other high-altitude resorts. Find cheap flights to Geneva.
Livigno (Italy) – one of the higher resorts in Europe with pistes to 3000m and a good snow record, Livigno is also known for its sunny location. It offers one of Europe’s largest terrain parks and the skiing lasts until late April/early May on a good year. Livigno’s tax-free tax status is also a considerable draw, meaning that food and drink are excellent value here. Find cheap flights to Milan or Innsbruck.
Gassan (Japan) - located in Yamagata on the main island of Honshu, Gassan gets so much snow (up to 8m) during the winter, that it doesn’t even open until April because the resort is inaccessible until then! The lifts then continue to run until late July where skiers and snowboarders can enjoy almost 1000m of vertical terrain. Find cheap flights to Japan.
Whistler-Blackcomb (Canada) – the presence of a glacier on Blackcomb Mountain means that skiers here can keep going till June. The excellent slope grooming and snow-making facilities also help to ensure a lengthy season in what has repeatedly been voted the best ski resort in the world. Find cheap flights to Vancouver.
Mammoth (California, USA) – with a season that typically lasts into June but also boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year, skiers and snowboarders can get the best of both worlds at one of the USA’s premier mountain resorts. Find cheap flights to LA.

I've never been to Livigno after March, but I would like to try a late one. I imagine that the skiing on both sides of the valley would mean a lunch in town then swapping sides for the afternoon. I bet the run back at the end of the day isn't much fun though.
