My name is Clare I’m from London I have only been skiing one and loved it.. im thinking about going skiing to see the New Year through but not sure were to go, we was thinking about Canada as in Europe we cant guarantee snow..

Has anyone got any suggestions???? (Preferably a good place for kids as well)

PLEASE HELP!!!

Clare,

What kind of skiing ability does everyone have? Let me know and I'll give you a few personal recommendations.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael
Thanks for your reply we are mostly beginner' couple of us are good intermediates and one tempting easy blacks, also if you know any where with the traditional Christmas spirit. it would be great if you have any suggestions!!


Thanks Clare

don't need to go to canada when you got the alps close

Can you suggest of anywhere in alp’s with good snow at Christmas??

Clare,

As I'm sure you were aware the snow this season was exceptional in the alps, it's obviously impossible to forecast what the snow will be like this year.

However there are a few 'snow-sure' resorts that, due to their height are pretty certain to have snow. I think if you are looking for somewhere 'traditional' at Christmas then Austria is probabily your best bet.

I'll refer you to the following link - http://www.ifyouski.com/resorts/attributes/?resortattributes=SnowSure
Which has a list of heigh resorts that are likely to be snow sure, it also provides indepth information about each of the resorts.

Hope that helps,
Michael

Hmmm.....
Well I think generally anywhere in New England in the US. Also in Austria, there is a city called Innsbrook. There are good moutains there. One mountain is an Olympic mountain. It is a great place to ski. Hope this helps!

:cool:

Maybe a good choice for you would be an accommodation in Alpe d'Huez (http://www.mountvacation.com/france/alpe-d-huez/). Because of very high altitude (1860m), snow is almost guaranteed.
