| Somewhere high, but it won't be cheap! Tignes would be good and the whole espace killy will be open! |

Hey mate...
France is a good option...you been before?..whereabouts?
I have spent the last few years going to Morzine/avoriaz... i love it there, so im probably a bit biased..haha!
I went last year at christmas and the snow was excellent...fresh powder everyday..cant beat it!
I normally pay about £400 for a week around christmas time, but we are going the 1st week in jan next year and got it for £180!! feel like i have been robbed in previous years!
so there is bargains out there...but be fast coz they are not around for long! |

| You will pay a premium if you go during Christmas, New Year, February, or Easter. That being said, if you're going to brave the crowds at Christmas, I'd look to Val Thorens/Les Menuires for guaranteed snow or Serre Che for less crowds. |

70km of pistes! Just try and stop me... I'd have stayed in Arizona if that's all I was after.
Bulgaria is cheap as chips, but if I only skied a couple times a year I'd look for something a bit more... epic. |

| bansko is great but id only go for a week at the most as there isnt many runs but they are all quite long, the run back from the top of the gondola right to the town takes about 30 minutes and is a great run to try some flatland tricks or fall on your face like i did quite abit on first go lol. |
