Too late...I've already cancelled it!

I've lost my deposit, so I won't be able to ski at all, this year now. I'll get really stressed with work not having a holiday and will probably get the sack, so I won't be able to go next year either. Then I'll get really depressed and won't be able to get another job so I'll never be able to go skiing again.

I never thought my skiing days would end this way.

At least when I'm trying to keep warm in some door way, in a couple of years time, I'll be able to point at the 'Fly Wickers' plane overhead and say I used to know him and it was all his fault! :(

We were there a couple of years ago, tho we didn't stay in Les M, but down the road in Praranger.

We drove and had to start our day from Les M. It's great there. you're so quickly away from the ugly buildings, it doesn't take long to ski to Val Thorens or Meribel. Courcheval was a bit further, but all easily done in a day. We went in April school holidays, barely a queue in sight as well.

Don't take too much notice of what people say bout how it looks. Like you say, you're going for the skiing and it's not like you are expecting choc box pretty.

The lifts out of Les M are fast and some of the bubbles had covers too. We really liked it there for the skiing. St Martin de Belleville is a pretty little village & worth a visit if you get chance.
Enjoy.

in which Pistehors.com reports that 3 Vallees have raised prices by 3% in the face of a recession. Many other resorts have pegged prices for next winter to 2009 levels.
