First ever Snowboard holiday last year in Les 2 Alps which really gave me the bug... went this year to Tignes and Val D'Isere (drove a 17 seater minibus, not very RS!) have Booked for Megeve second week in February and can't wait! Am looking for a good location near an airport for a cheap/quick weekend trip in Jan or March.

Feck... Nearly 7m of snow!! Is there such a thing as too much? Do you have to ski wearing stilts or anything :)

St Gervais, Chamonix and Megeve a mix of 10 to 110 (thats cm not m :cry: ) I've got six weeks before I go, but at this rate the snow will probably have been and gone by then. I dont hold up much hope for late season snow this year.
