    El'Cheapo Ski Holiday - Suggestions Please

    Hi guys,

    im sure lots of you have gone skiing in and around Europe. I could use some advice.

    1) For new skiers, where would be the best place to go? I have skied before (10 years ago!!!! ), it will be a first for my wife/others.
    2) I could do a city break in 2 days, however, how long would I need for a ski trip to make it worth while?

    3) Assuming there are just 2 of us, can you recommend places to go?
    4) And assuming there are 6-10 of us going, can you recommend places to go?

    The cheaper the better.

    Thanks all
    TM

    What the fook do you think we are?
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

    Smith and Wesson.

    Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

            Andora, if there is snow. Ski schools are taught by English instructors. probably the cheapest place in Europe outside of Bulgaria. Iglooski usually have some good late deals.
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Cheap to get to (Flights to Geneva), easy to book a cheap place for a weekend (That's a big issue most resorts) and guaranteed good snow with a good range of ability levels - Chamonix.

              Good party town as well.
              Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

              Any forum is a collection of assorted weirdos, cranks and pervs - Board Game Geek

              That will be a simply fab time to catch up for a beer. - Tay

                Guilty as charged but I do not do cheap. Only some sad miserable excuse for a contractor would know (or want to know) about "cheap" holidays.

                  I always do "cheap" or rather VFM because I is tight.
