top three resorts

1. Verbier
2. Zermatt
3. Whistler

Difficult to narrow it down to 3 only as could have easily been others, e.g:
1. La Tania/Courchevel
2. Lech
3. St Anton

i have only been to 4 resorts, all in france lol.
1. les arcs
2. 3 valleys (if i can count that as 1) if not, courcheval
3. ADH

Meribel/3 Valleys, the vast amount of runs and off piste are hard to beat
Alpe d'Huez, love the place
Loved Morzine/Avoriaz for the skiing
But its hard to leave out anywhere in Italy for the food and the people.

1: St Moritz

That's an interesting one. Went to St. Moritz on the 'peasants'' day-trip from Livigno,and while it was very nice for a day, i never got the feeling that I would want to spend a week there. However (and this may interest you, Tony), I have read recently that it's a bit of a hidden gem as far as off-piste opportunities go. Apparently the 'toffs' don't go in for the old off-piste in a big way, so fresh snow can remain un-tracked for 'yonks', while in the more obvious off-piste 'Meccas' it can be tracked out the same day.

so.

Gaz, I always thought st Moritz was out of my league, but we found a cost effective way to do it and everyone who went on the trip would agree it was fantastic skiing.
The slopes were empty as the toffs all want to shop or eat during the day. Grooming is outstandingly good. And there's a great choice of slopes on 2 mountains. I have not idea why you'd think it wouldn't be good for a week when you went on a day trip, especially coming from livigno which I've always thought wouldn't be enough for a week.

I can honestly say the skiing here was top notch, and yes there's plenty of off piste to go at as well although we didn't actually do much. Definitely more off piste over on corvatsch. It's a wonderful place to ski, iconic scenery with the frozen lake down below, and high altitude so guaranteed snow.

I'd go back at the drop of a hat, for the right price of course :wink:

Favourite three? Depends on numerous combinations:- Price, country, group, ages, family, etc. but my three would be Zermatt, Vail and Madonna di Campiglio.

les arc 1950 for ski in/out+village. In fact the full monty.
Mayrhofen for the apres.
Samoens for the village.

Lech, Serre Chevalier and Madonna/Folgarida/Marilleva
