I'm planning on going to Europe over next winter vacation, and I'd like to hear about good places to ski in Europe. I plan to travel through both Italy and Switzerland, but since most of the people I'm going with aren't fanatics like myself, I'll probably won't be able to spend too much time in the mountains, so I'd like to hit the best areas. Also, since most of the gear I currently own is made in Italy, I was wondering if I could get a good deal on equipment over there. It would also save me the trouble of carting my gear over there. thanks in advance, -- James Steven Carrington Cal Berkeley jsc@berkeley.arpa ucbvax!jsc

I have been skiing in Italy and France, so I can comment only on these
countries. Italy is really inexpensive, buy italian ski equipment there.
The facilities, snow and lift maintainance are fairly poor, but because
of the price they are a bargain (I have no figures).
France is great, my favourite resort(s), are Tignes, Tignes-le-lac and
Val d'Isere (home of La Daille). These three resorts have interconnected
lifts which are all on one ski pass. One hundred and forty lifts in all.
When I lived in England, I skied on a tight budget. I could never afford
Switzerland. Try it and tell us about it.
