Chef,
I never ski'd in France, too expensive
Italy is great, if you want even better than Sella Ronda,
Try Zermat and Cervinia - Matterhorn.
Stay on the Italian side (Cervinia) cheaper than the Swiss side (Zermat) and have the longest slopes I have ski'd on about 15km's down to the bottom.
Ski round the Matterhorn.
Go there towards the end of the season, lower prices and sunshine.

Milan it's not underwear - it's snow gear, it's probably sitting outside at least one (If not two) layers of other gear. It's an expensive outlay for anyone taking up winter sports for the first time - I've gave many people exra gear I've amassed over the years, don't believe I've ever heard anyone complain about it till now.
Then again I can pick your type a mile away: all the gear, no idea.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

I got an idea Chef,
check out the gear for your mrs, stick to branded quality stuff they she can wear for a few seasons
then, knowing what she needs and what sizes...
on the skiing trip with the lads (which I assume will be before the one with the Mrs)... buy the gear in france where it will probably be cheaper, my experience is item x costs 100gbp in UK and 100Euros on the mainland.
All the best,

'Milan it's not underwear - it's snow gear, it's probably sitting outside at least one (If not two) layers of other gear. '
I don't know what crap you buy, but my gear only needs a set of Marks and Sparks long johns underneath and sorteeed to ski
Are you the bloke with 20 jumpers and a 'ski' coat from Asda ?
