I'm in. The weekend of the 14th is bad for me, as I'm in NY to see the missus. It might be as well to avoid the weekend of the 8th-9th as well. Might I tentatively suggest the last weekend in Feb? Could I also suggest a high resort, to avoid problems with lack of snow - especially for beginners? One resort I'm particularly fond of is Saas-Fee, in Switzerland, http://www.saas-fee.ch/index-e.htm It's a very friendly, and family resort, and was the resort used in Wham's Last Xmas video, for the pop-pickers among us. The only drawbacks are that it's a 3hr train, then a 1 hr bus from either Geneva and Zurich. Flights are definitely available from LTN, LHR and LGW, but obviously City would be easier for most people. This might be a bit of a long journey for just a weekend, but the resort really is very nice. I spent 2001 there and it was great. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Anyone else got a resort in mind?
