La Plagne. Just Thur-Mon so three full days skiing and possibly a bit on thursday depending on timings. Starting a bit earlier this year by staying over at manchester airport Wednesday evening (there weren't suitable flights from Leeds) and ending later by coming home monday instead of Sunday, again due to flights.

Considering taking my adult daughters skiing next christmas. We had a great week just before christmas in 2019. Currently looking into options, probably somewhere big/high like Three Valleys or maybe La Plagne again. I've found some pretty cheap accommodation, especially if you stay in Brides les Bains, but I can't be bothered with a long trek up the mountain every day and I think a hotel with lots of others about would be preferable at christmas.

It was lovely and quiet today and everyone commented on how nice it was after the masses here over the holidays.

I think I've been in January more times than any other time of year. Usually quite, cold and decent snow. Some of the ladies I ski with suffer badly in the cold but we just stop more often, and actually last year in Meribel in March was too warm!

Oh, and I have new ski boots! I realised last year my feet were moving around in my boots, the inners had got completely squashed. Tried them out at the indoor slope over christmas and they seemed fine, just hope that translates to a full day on the slopes
