Suggestions for 30th Birthday next year

Hello all

I'm currently in Val Cenis for the Ski season, and I love the place.

I'm now looking for somewhere good for a few of us to go to next New Year
for my 30th Birthday. I think I've been kind of spoilt by Val Cenis so we
may come here, but does anyone have any other suggestions?? Somewhere good
for a group of about 15 of us, ideally all together, or maybe a couple of
large apartments. Good mix of on and off piste for both skiers and boarders,
and no mad queues.

Thanks for your time
Damian

This wouldn't be a certain Damian of MGS fame that I know from a couple of
weeks ago, would it??? If so, say hello to everyone there from Iain, Lisa &
little Lewis!!

I wish I was still in Val Cenis... it's got to be better than working for a
living in an office full of morons looking out the window at incessant
rain!! Oh, to be able to strap on the brand new B2's now.... sigh!!!

I've got no suggestions for you, I'm afraid. None of the places I know seem
any good anymore after Val Cenis. But if I was going for my 30th, Meribel or
Val Thorens would be a consideration. Some of my mates may cause Val Cenis
serious harm so I'd keep them away from there!! LOL!!

Some of the Austrian resorts are good for parties and skiing, I believe, so
maybe that's worth a look. I've never been, though, so maybe a few people on
here can comment.

Good luck,

Schneck

If your after a good mix of nightlife and skiing then how about Verbier,
St Anton or Chamonix?

Hello there,

Yes, this is the same Damian. We've got a week off this week, which is why
I'm spending a bit more time in front of my computer. Doing some more
animation and updating my website. I'm sure that's not what you want to
hear. Someone who could be on the mountain doing something else while you're
dreaming of your B2's :-)

We're not into causing havoc, just having a good time. We wouldn't need much
night life because we'd just make our own. Val Cenis would be perfect,
except that a few of us have been here now, it would be nice to go somewhere
new.

Best wishes Schneck

Damian

Saalbach/Hinterglemm in Austria, fantastic skiing and nightlife. 'Nuff said

Hello there,

Good to hear from you! I hope everyone there is well. Thanks again for
looking after us. Did Peter let you have some of that beer we left for
everyone? He better had!! He he!! And thanks for picking up the pieces on my
numerous stacks... I skied like Kermit the Frog without the Muppeteer's hand
up his jacksy all week!!

Is it the off piste week Peter & Brenda were telling us about? I could take
the B2's to Tamworth (it's only up the road) but I don't want to inflict
slush, ice, ignorant idiots and the rubber from those travelators on them.
Would just seem wrong! LOL

I know what you mean. I was watching a holiday program on monday night (the
good old Beeb!). They were talking about a couple of resorts in the Spanish
Pyrenees. Reminded me of Val Cenis in that there was plenty of good skiing
and no queues!! I can't remember the name of the places they featured but
the tour op they used was called Pura Aventura. Maybe worth giving them a
look and getting some details. It looks like a place I might try in the
future. It wasn't teeming with night life, but as you say, you can just as
easily make your own. They flew in Pau and got a transfer into Spain.

Have a good week off and good luck with finding something.

Laters,

Iain C

We had the Mupeteer out the following week. He skied like he didn't know
where to put his hand. I bet it was him that drank all the beer too!

Yes, Pete and Brenda are off doing crazy stuff. Not as extream as Tamworth
though form the sounds of it.

Three ideas:
Les Arcs. Haven't been since the link to La Plagne so I'm not too sure
how this would affect queues, (used to have occasional problems around
2000 but nothing anywhere else). Plenty of off piste and variety of
pistes for all standards. Excellent black runs mostly above 2000.
Limited chalets.

Tignes/Val D'isere. Loads of off piste and plenty of tough runs.
Tignes is better placed for the skiing but choice of accomodation is
better in Val.

Alp D'Huez. Years since I've been there so I might be out of date.
Good on and off piste, but most tough on piste skiing only available
cable car is running.

hi ya
is nowhere safe from you guys?
we went to pas a few years ago for Aimees 21st and the place was fantastic for a party, the bars are cheesy and the clubs are worse! high enough to be snowsure and plenty of space to avoid nuggets like me on snowboards, only problem: no bad girls medicine.

cheers,
Phill & Aimee
