Skiing France/Switzerland ,Portes Du Soleil

[storysham]

Heading to Avoriaz in january, was a bit dodgy about going (i didnt book it) as id never heard of the place. but after checking it out the place looks quite exellent.

anyone ever been there or the other resorts in the portes du soleil area. Whats it like.
Have access to them all via the slopes.
France in the morning, switzerland in the afternoon. should be a huge variety of pistes.

I got my ski jacket and salopettes in Aldi last year and they were great, really warm and totally water proof, those 2 fleeces and some thermals all for 80 euro..

If everything is gone and your looking for cheap but good Ski geat, TK-MAX is really good also, friend got helly hanson suit there last week for 90 euro, not bad going.

BTY has anyone been to Meyrhofen?? going in feb, would like to know what its like??

Tnks.

Most of what i had head was really positive, but i also heard that the instruction wasn't the best for intermdeiate skiers like myself (only 3rd time)

sure will have the craic anyway, as i believe apres ski is rather good.

I still need instruction, have balls of steel and would happily point the ski's and bomb down any slope, but my technique is total crap and would like to sort it out.

There is a group of us who go every year and i would be the least experienced so want to improve to keep up with them....
Still love it though, even if i am shite.:D
