Between contracts in December, so am looking to get a few miles under my skis with wife plus kids in the week over Xmas. Any recommendations for resorts/companies?

Meribel is full of Brits and the instructors mostly speak good English. We've been there for NYE the last couple of years and it has been good.Originally posted by tenpin View Post
Driving is also a lot easier than flying if you have 4x people with their own equipment."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

You can go to Wally World round the corner for entertainment (provided you don't mind being stabbed by a drunk chav) and stay in the Travel Inn (the traveller's hotel with no car park, FFS).

I hate skiing. Did it once. Spent a fortune on dry slope lessons, had a stomach bug the first day out there which I spent vomitting, had one lesson, then tore my knee ligament on the nursery slopes afterwards, and spent the rest of the week hobbling around on crutches and having physio. And the other people on the trip wondered why I didn't have a good time. Tossers.
I also hate listening to skiing types banging on about the black runs they've conquered, and the wonderful powdery snow they found off piste. I wish they'd all ski at high speed into a tree.Comment

have stayed here in La Tania (next valley over from Meribel in the Trois Vallee), good accomodation, excellent chef cooks for you and ideally situated for ski in/out but just far enough away from the Courchevel 1850 ruskie'sThe proud owner of 125 Xeno Geek PointsComment
