not going anywhere at the moment

USA/Canada = Whistler
Alps = Three Valleys

although have been to many resorts.. they all offer good skiing etc.. just aim high this winter as I have a feeling last years poor snow will continue..

what kind of budget are you looking at?

usa/canada is probably out of the question due to cost. There are 4 of us going and I am the olny one that boards.. so trying to get them to go to states where there was silly amounts of snow fall probably isnt an option.

Went to andorra 2 yrs ago that was great (lots of snow) but expensive (many many rich russians). Last year I went to austia, while the slopes were great like you said not much snow  :undecided:

Not too concerned with price (although i am currently jobless :cry:) just looking for a good deal to somewhere that will have plenty of snow  :undecided:

what is usually classed as high?? excuse my lack of knowledge I usuall just pay and turn up.... due to no job its me that has to organise then thing

If your going to Europe then as Guy said the Three Valleys is probably your best bet, chances are one of the resorts will have a decent dumping of snow. I'm doubtful that the snow will be as poor as last season, however as Guy also said peak season is your best bet for reliable snow.

I went to Les Deux Alpes a few years ago, snow was reasonable & ski area is ok. Tignes & Val Thorens are pretty good resorts. Best snowboarding I've ever had was Whistler/Blackcomb :wink:

Been to Morzine a couple of times, good night life and take 10-15 mins to baord to switzerland :D was good fun, lots of places to go with a decent park about 10 mins from the main slope in morzine.

All this talk is making me jealous  :sad: So wanna go but gf has chosen new york instead  :angry:
