Phil, Frayz will be in Austria for new year, boarding and we will be in France / Germany / Switz territory for the same period.
Might be worth dropping him a PM, Wilfy knows a good few places too!!!!

Im off to the 3 vallies in on 2nd feb, , we are staying in la tania. DId it last year, was ok.

Ive skiied the 3 vallies several times, and still not got bored, HIGHLY recommended. meribel was good.


The g//f and I are also taking the "to hell with it" attitude, and booking another trip up for early march, probably cheapo to Bulgaria though, half the price of the french trip, and a decent hotel pool, sauna etc etc........ skiing wont be as good, but it will only be her third time so it doesnt really matter that much..
