Ive been twice (1st as my first ski trip) - it is a great place to learn - huge green slopes at the bottom of the mountain, and cause the resort is high the snow usually very good at the bottom There is loads of nightlife for younger crowds Title: Re: going skiing Post by: Woodsey on November 17, 2009, 09:10:15 AM Kitzbuhel in Austria is pretty good IMO, not especially cheap though, but nowhere is really apart from Andorra.

my friends went to this last year and said it was a great week - http://www.snowbombing.com/ Title: Re: going skiing Post by: G1BTW on November 17, 2009, 09:43:32 AM Yer, pretty good night life in Val D'Isere.
Best skiing I ever had was in Cortina/Arabba in Northern Italy on two different trips, really varied skiing. Planning a trip at the mo, looking cheaper just to book flights first then arrange accoms. Ryanair and flyglobespan have good deals at the mo. Obv the best skiing/cuisine and nightlife to be found in Aviemore/Cairngorms as Iron pointed out. Came down a really steep run a couple of years back, dead slowly due to strong headwind, dodged a sheep on the way down and crashed when I ran aground in mud. You just can't get that kind of experience on the continent :( Title: Re: going skiing Post by: Ironside on November 17, 2009, 09:44:04 AM aviemore only problem is cant gtd snow lolz not this come on nightlife is great forgot another problem when there is snow to ski the roads are closed when the roads are open there is no snow to ski But is it cheap. you have to be kidding cheap if you get somewhere out of town to stay yes but then you cant get to the slopes if there is snow and you are needing taxis for the night life Title: Re: going skiing Post by: The Nomad on November 17, 2009, 10:52:14 AM Look up Ischgl in Austria its the party place. Not cheap though.

Title: Re: going skiing Post by: outragous76 on November 17, 2009, 06:37:10 PM Cham is great but very very expensive.
It can be a faff getting busses to the diff montains too. I commit to an area for a day when I go Title: Re: going skiing Post by: Delboy on November 17, 2009, 07:37:50 PM Val d'isere best for skiing/ boarding and nightlife and pretty much Gtd Snow (We're going Jan17th). Pretty much exclusively English and a few Danish there
Courchevel good for beginners but very expensive (marketed to Russians mainly) Meribel good for Apres/ Nightlife Never been to Austria. Title: Re: going skiing Post by: rossfourfive on November 17, 2009, 09:03:47 PM Meribel/Courcheval/Val T
