Well, seeing as it is now less than 28 days until we go to SC I thought I would start a thread.

Me and OH are very excited about this trip and especially as we both feel that we developed a lot in ADH in Jan that this should be an even better holiday.
We are hopeful that conditions will continue to be as good as they are currently being reported and that we get to have a fantastic time on the slopes again.

Stewart,
Why did you pick Serre Chevalier? What's it like?

AllyG,
I dont pick the resorts.
I leave it down to my trusted ski buddy Tony H.
However, I did have a look around the piste map and also resort reviews on several ski themed website and the skiing comments were superb. I have never been there before but we are going twice this year, the 2nd time being over Easter Weekend.
So it had better be good.

It was selected because me and Mrs H went in March 2009 and found the skiing to be just superb, but our hotel was rubbish, so we wanted to take friends back and stop in a chalet this time.
Stewart was keen on going, and decided that becuase of the massive variety in terrain, there would be sufficient for him and his OH to go at.

Tony, I know you've done both the hotel and the chalet thing, in your opinion whic do you prefer and why? We've always done the hotel thing and are considering chalet for next year as there may be a few of us going.
I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids!

Well I like hotels in certain places, eg Mayrhofen and much of Austria, and some chalets are clearly not too great, but if you get a nice chalet in a great ski in/out spot, I dont think you can have a better time.
I dont want to cook, and eating out can now cost a fair bit, and its fun in a group to have a place, and i also enjoy meeting new people and sharing experiences.
We did our first chalet last Jan in St Anton, and will continue to do it again every year now I think, although I wont rule out hotels, for example in Ischgl where I want to go.
