New Year struggle...

1st post here, please bear with me :oops:

Wanting to book a break over the new year & just bamboozled by the choice - crikey never thought it would be this hard to make a decision.

Going away with my lovely wife - she is beginner & me probably beginner / intermediate. 'Good snow' is top of the list along with variety of choice (went to Arinsal in feb last year which was fairly limited, although great fun), followed by a nice town / vibe. Not too concerned about cost as long as it isn't ridiculous. Can anyone recommend a place that meets the spec? Just think I am max'd out looking at ski reports, forums, last year, this year - uuuurrrrggggghhhh.. :)

Alp D'huez!
Super great for your wife, a world of pleasure for the intermediate.

thx, will have a look into it.. have you been at that time of year?

I went for Xmas 2 years ago and loved every minute. You cannot go wrong. I don't know anyone that doesn't love the place

Great, thanks a lot :)

The Aravis, Chatel, Livigno, Bormio, but don't leave it too late a very busy time New year …

Thx a lot

Another vote for Alpe d'Huez (having skied there 4 times over the years) We once went as a party of 12 for New Year, with an age range of 10 to 65 and everyone had a great time. Those of us who didn't party too hard on NY Eve virtually had the slopes to ourselves on NY Day! I might add that my own children who were late teens at the time, didn't actually make it out onto the slopes at all that day! I think there is a torchlit descent by the ski instructors followed by an excellent firework display.
