Resort Recomendations
Starting to make plans for a late February trip with a group of 6-8
skiers/riders. Been to Portes du Soleil the last couple of years. It's been pretty good to us, but we're looking for something different this year. Our group has some early intermediate skiers as well as those interested in black or off piste runs. Any recommendations? Cortina and Courchevel have been mentioned. Our concerns are snow coverage and ease of access from international airport. Thanks for the ideas. AJ |

AJ The obvious places with a group of widely differing abilities are the three valleys and espace killy (val d'isere/tignes). They are both 3 hrs + drive from the airport however. Still we keep going back because we still haven't skied everything there once, never mind twice! Easier to get to is Verbier, which - if it has decent snow - is I think better for early intermediates than often suggested. |

Plenty of skiing at Flaine which is only 1.5hr(max) from Geneva airport.
Further away is Les Arcs/La Plagne, joined together by Xmas- a huge area. "Frances Hinden" wrote in message om... "AJ" wrote in message ...

Can't Ju-jitsu afford air conditioning, or are you "working from home" because they've relocated you to an office you can't actually reach? Will your brain close down in stages, or all at once without a backup? -- Sue ]8( |

I would go for Samoëns. It's less than 1 hour from Geneva, and from
december 2003, directly linked to Flaine, Morillon (260km of slopes, all categories of ski). We have been there the last 5 years, and are still going back (we even bought an appartment there this year...) Dominique Foucart www.loc-alpes.com "AJ" wrote in message ...
