Courchevel is part of a huge ski area.. you can ski Val Thorens which goes
up to over 3000m.. so you're going to get good snow conditions in mid
January, no doubt about it.. however, I've skiied about 6 resorts in Italy,
Switzerland and France and none of them really compared to my north american
ski experience..

Hi,
We are a group of 8 persons that are planning to go to ski next 17th
of January for a week.
We have been in Vail, so we decided to go to Courchevel to visit a new
place for us, but after reading some posts that talks about the icy
and lack of snow in Courchevel, we now have doubts about going there.
The ski and after ski in Vail is excellent and we don't want to be in
Courchevel thinking about how good was Vail. If you were us, Would
you try Vail again or you would choose Courchevel?

Are the snow conditions for mid january in Courchevel as good as Vail?

Would you go to some other resort?

We are intermediate skiers.

Thanks.
