Have not been for the last 2 years, but it is a real hoot!  See old mates from way back, and ski hard and play hard!

^^^^ that's the idea. Not so much as burn the candle at both ends but chuck it in the fire.

An intense week ahead. Bring it on! Tbh I'd forego any summer holiday for my ski week any time. Love it, have only missed two weeks in the past 18 years. One I had a broken shoulder and two my daughter was born right in middle of ski season. (bad planning)  :signLOL:

Just spent 2 weeks in Vail Colorado, absolutely awesome skiing and a really good resort, with Lionshead down the road equally as nice as vail, Beaver Creek about 20 mins drive also excellent resort snow wasnt as good whilst I was there as it's lower in altitude than the two mentioned above.

Highly recommend this place been to most of Europe as been skiing since I could walk  :smiley: and this tops the lot for amount of skiing, variety of different runs, and the vast amount of tree skiing is just unreal, if anyone gets the opportunity to go, do so!!  Only possible downside is that its a long flight away but flying doesn't bother me  :happy2:

Got back from Alpe d'Huez last weekend after a week of skiing, absolutely brilliant time, group of 16.

Conditions were very good, 1st time I've been there, but it has something there for everyone, a good range of slopes for all abilities and a very good night life so you can ski hard and party hard! Nothing like a blast of mountain air in the morning to clear a hangover!!

I got back from there on Staurday, had a great time, amazing weather but snow was not the best which was a shame, still had an awesome time though and would recommend to others!
