Just booked the third week in Jan in Morzine with Highlife. Can. Not. Wait.
Never been to Morzine, usually we go to Austria, so looking forward to exploring the Portes du Soleil area.
Any tips?

Keep us updated on how your season goes please. I am thinking of going there in 2012/2013. The footage in Art of Flight from Revelstoke looks insane.

I am hoping to go to Japan this season. Maybe Niesko or Hakuba.

Are you getting married there, by any chance?!

Snowbride 2011

Could be worse!

You're the second person I know who got married in Zell, is there a particular reason?

Snowbride 2011

Nothing specific...its a pretty lakeside town, we found a hotel that organised everything and its easy access from the airport

The ski consitions were rubbish at the time, a week in Solden after the wedding made up for it though

edson

St. Anton for a week, Feb 4th.....

I'm off to Les Gets for the season, cannot wait. Call into le pub Irlandais any evening for a pint of the local brew.

Port Du Soleil is great, and from Morzine, if the conditions aren't great down in the village, you can get up to nearby Avoriaz easily where the terrain is nice and steep, the pistes wide and fast, and the parks are unreal. Check out "the stash" wood freestyle park through the trees, where all the features are made from wood. They still hurt when you fall on them unfortunately.

Im off to Chamonix for a week in March. I have a wedding to attend over there during the week so that should be class. Im also hoping to get a week over there in January too. I cant beileve this will be 7 years (3 weeks each season) in a row to Cham. You may have gathered I love the place

Wrap up warm -30 to -45 is not uncommon in Banff at that time of the year!!! If you are going to Banff make sure you hit kicking horse and ask for Skippy (Jeff Langer) at Lake Louise.

Fantastic! Will do - really looking forward to it. Slightly worried about the temperature at the moment, everywhere is so warm! It needs to get cold... fast!
