First time skiers and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The skiing instructures were not great , I guess that's suited to your needs. Nevertheless we still managed all the green runs by the end of our 6 day stay. Other skiers need to respect the code as I got knocked over by a snowboarder from behind who failed in his duty to give me right of way. I Wasn't happy and made my feelings clear, he didn't hang around, I guess my London fighting talk put him off!!

New Year's Eve celebrations were fantastic and will live long in the memory.

Something I have to address is the complete lack of decent places to eat. We booked our stay quite late and as such had a hotel room with no kitchenette which meant dining out every night. The restaurants on offer here are crap. We ate pretty much everywhere on site. People rave about the Pizza place! Please! It's the only place that sells pizza and it's average at best. We found Bottoms bar/restaurant offer the best value, ambience and quality of food. Seriously, avoid Bella Italia, Masa and the Mexican joint, you're better of buying cheese and bread and staying in your room.

Other than that, for first time skiers we had a great time. We stayed at the Sunpeaks lodge, which although is outdated, was clean and habitable. Old style jacuzzi and sauna, that fits about four chickens.
