I'm off to my yearly jaunt to the alps in March. We go to a same village called "Les Gets" every year. Its in the middle of the biggest linked ski area in the world and 1 pass covers you for 18 resorts. Its simply amazing. We normally drive out with a group of 10 or so in 2 cars.

I wakeboard but on snow it just has to be skiing. Snowboarding just didn't excite me the way skis do. I can and do snowboard but only if there is some nice deep powder!

Like you i can't wait, especially as I only booked the chalet yesterday. Gonna wax my new skis in the next week or so and get some time at the snowdome.

Learnt to boardslide a kinked box in Mk last weekend. Soo much easier than on a wakeboard as your not going about about a million miles an hour at it.
