Winter will soon be upon us, what's everyone planning for their winters this year?
I'm looking at heading to Lake Tahoe, anyone been? Any tips/advice?

Maybe I’ll join you.
Yeah I’m looking at the weekend starting the 16th of March if we’re going by the usual Sat to Sat thing. Somewhere French in the Northern Alps seems to be a safe bet. I did a last minute March trip to Zell Am See pre-Covid with a friend where I booked everything myself which was a trip after only doing a one-click-and-everything-is-done in Bulgaria and indoor at Hemel, but having been dragged to Bankso several times by my former workmates in the past I’d rather go somewhere new each time now unless it’s truly magnificent. Main two things are:
1) quick-ish and easy to get to from the airport with all my gear (don’t need any equipment hire)
2) big enough to not get bored over a week, but not so big there’s no chance of skiing it all in a week.
Your a week out bud I will wave as we head in opposite directions!
If however by some fluke you do end up the week before send me a PM
French alps you have Geneva, Grenoble or if you fancy a risk Chambery (we are doing chambery this year as couldnt get our swiss air flights to Geneva when we wanted)
Chambery is closer but it can get foggy or snow and its smaller so less able to cope. But its an hour less on the coach if your lucky
Think I’m just going to YOLO and see what last minute stuff comes up on Crystal etc! There’s a couple on Sno for hotels in Obergurgl/Hochgurgl which seems to tick the boxes for pretty, high altitude, wide/easier slopes and fairly quiet/boring which is sort of what I want if I’m just going to be engaging autist mode and doing lots of drills and feeling-based exercises over and over in an effort to progress to the (unobtainable!) goal of:

I have been skiing twice before. Once with school to italy and once about 10 years ago to france. La plange. But I didn't book either myself. I want to go with 3 of my friends next year to probably france. La plange was great. I would be happy to go there again. But with 4 people what is the best thing to book. How much should I expect yo pay for a week? No idea. Thanks for help.
