My partner and I are going to the Olympics in Feb 2006 to watch my
sister and want to spend a week either before or after snowboarding
somewhere else. We are both good snowboarders and enjoy going
off-piste and tackling the harder runs as well as playing in the park.
We are looking for somewhere that is value for money and hopefully not
too busy.

Alagna is a know freeride spot at italy

As an aside... if anyone wants information on snowboarding / skiing in
New Zealand let me know - it is fantastic!

I hear something else.
