Default Val D'Isere or Zermatt

My friends and I are planning a late Feb ski trip to either Zermatt or
Val D'Isere. The original idea was to take advantage of the low Euro
now before it gets up again, but as Switzerland is not on the Euro, we
are curious as to relative prices as well as ski experience, food
experience, recommended hotels, recommended guides. Please, if anyone
has comment, please let me know

Zermatt is the sort of place that everyone should ski once. The
tradition, Matterhorn backdrop, ice caves, mountain railway and height
alone make it a must for some people. Having said that I won't be going
back - I didn't think the actual skiing was that great - even the
off-piste with a guide (but then I'm not thgat good at off-piste skiing)
and the lift system really REALLY sucks, taking up to 2 hours to get
from the base to the very top on 3 different lifts.

Val d'Isere/Tignes is far better organised and there is a much bigger
range of skiing. Still not my favourite though, which is the 3V,
Courchevel in particular, but not in January when it's crawling with
Russians.

The only thing you should ask for in this ******** is where to buy
drugs, whores, or find children. That's all anyone here knows about.
Run before they start accusing you of molesting children.

Zermatt was born in the days when one long run was a day's complete
adventure, and the true enthusiasts made a run in the morning, had a
big lunch, and then made another run in the afternoon.

This blowhard likes to stalk in real life, lie to police officers,
stalk me to my job, etc. He's a psychopathic pathological liar, and a
truly dickless coward.

Meeting you in person and having you call me a child molester to my
face is on MY bucket list. Of course, you should take care of YOUR
bucket list before you do so.

Well if one is 100% off-piste with loads of vertical, two runs + big
lunch fills up the whole day quite nicely and there's no big need to
rush. In La Grave people seldom manage more than three so-called "road-
runs" per a good day (2150m vertical, maybe a short rappel or two and
then you need to be transported back into the village).
