Exactly. I reckon a lot of resorts are closer than people think. We're in Neiderau next week but are planning a single night in a Hotel in Leogang so we can ski Zell am See and Saalbach over two of the days. Getting a single night in a Hotel was no problem at all.

Rose i don't reckon you'd have a problem with booking in for a few nights in europe particularly in out of seasons dates like january or march. I'd be tempted with salzburg then move around the 5 areas of the ski amade (all covered on one lift pass) plus hitting zell am see/kaprun saalbach/ hinterglemm. That should be enough for 2 weeks i would have thought!

Trencher has the solution.
I was in Utah (in Salt Lake city) for two weeks and skied everyday in sun, -5c weather and had powder to knees everyday since it snowed EVERY night!
Never got bored! Never skied same resort! Always had powder!
Heaven!
I will pay your trip if your husband even thinks of boredom!
That is called "putting your money on the line"!!!
Now with economic "problems" there are many many deals in Utah!

Thanks for all suggestions, it certainly makes sense as we are making it a different type of holiday to go further afield and to America. Will certainly investigate.

I only suggested December as a for instance, because it was easy to check the cost of the flights on a particular site :lol:

Rose now you seem to be warming to the America idea it's obviously been made clear to you your two main options, Utah and Salt Lake City or I70 resorts of colorado. My preference would be the Utah but if you were to do Colorado, which is a shorter flight i think then i would go to Winter Park, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Breckenridge, Vail and Beaver Creek. Those are the closest resorts to denver before heading of for hours towards Aspen snowmass etc. Maybe in colorado basing your self in Frisco would be a good bet, close proximity to breckenridge keystone and vail! Wherever you go it'll be great!!

I have found with many resorts that their local or regional tourist authority website have accommodation that can be booked for any number of ights: often B&B or pensions, but thats perfect for what Rose is looking for.
The Inn Valley in Austria is very easy to travel around in, and at one end you have got access to the Skiwelt and Wildschonau, going down to the Ziller Valley, and on to the likes of St Anton and Ischgl at the other end. You could drive about and stopover in different places, or base yourself in the middle and do day trips.
I quite like the idea of it myself!
