Although I don't ski anymore [due to a back injury] I continue to take my family there with Crystal Ski. I have skied many resorts over the years inluding Brekonridge Colorado and this is a mini version of that resort with tree line skiing to the door and a link to Vars. Both resorts have an excellent snow record. We will be going January 2013 and again staying at the superb Balcons De Sirious appartments which has its own indoor pool and jacuzzi.
