          WHS - Andorra is a good reasonably priced compromise. Eastern Europe might be a little rough around the edges. I've been to Andorra and stayed in a luxury spa hotel for the same price as a normal place in The Alps. Never been to Eastern Europe.

            Andora, Catered Chalet (breakfast afternoon tea, and dinner with wine) 2 years ago £250 for a week for 2.
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              from what I have heard if you are prepared to put up with didgy ski lifts , its relatively cheap and uncrowded

                I second that you can't beat Andorra on value for money, Soldeu is the resort of choice as Pasa is often described as Ibiza on ice.

                The skiing isn't quite up there with the 3 valleys but the infrastructure is just as good (if not better), the last time I went I didn't use a button lift all week.

                Of course real contractors go to Courchevel and arrive via
                here.

                  Do it at home:

                  Turn off the central heating, burn your T-zone with a UV lamp, dress-up like you've walked through Millets whilst coated in glue, paint your stairs white and walk up and down them until sweaty, jump off the top stair so as to break a leg, sleep in your shed, drink loads of schnapps, and that's 99% of the job done. Thank you.

                      How about staying at a cheap B&B and going to Milton Keynes Sno Zone?
                      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
