Top Ski Resorts to Party in this winter

So summer is over and the 2011 skiing season is practically here. There’s plenty of snow on the mountains, and it’s time to get planning - as in less than three months you could be staying in an cosy ski chalet or a luxurious ski hotel , located practically on the ski piste. What could be better than donning your snow-gear and skiing out of your chalet and onto the slopes in the early hours of the morning?

Whenever choosing the ski resort for any ski getaway, you can be assured of an abundance of superb, modern ski resorts which provide much more compared to snowboarding, skiing and expensive beer! Top tips include checking of lift pass offers (many ski travel sites offer discounts, depending on when you book and where you choose to stay). Late ski deal sites offer flexible travellers the opportunity to book late and go cheap.

Most ski resorts offer a wealth of additional resources - like snowboarding parks, Olympic ski runs, mountain hiking, activities facilities, outdoor paths, curling, and paragliding as well as tennis games in addition to sleigh trips for any lucky children on the holiday!

Party-Friendly French Ski Resorts

For travellers in the UK and the rest of Europe, France is the #1 late ski destination year in, year out., the consistently most popular skiing areas in France being the 3 Valleys area (which contains Courchevel, Meribel as well as Val Thorens) - as well as L`Espace Killy which connects Tignes as well as legendary party destinaton Val D`Isere (home of the legendary Folie Douce bar and club - located up the mountain, on the piste and from- which you can literally ski in or out!).

Various other notable skiing locations within France would be the Portes du Soleil, the fairly recently established Paradiski Region that links La Plagne as well as l`Ensemble des Arcs using the Espace San Bernardo.

A browse on any online winter-sports travel site shows that France has got the most accommodation on offer, and travellers rave about the quic transfers and great airport links via Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon airport.

Cool Music Events in Austria

Home of top quality resorts like Mayrhofen, Hinterglemm, Kitzbuhel, Niederau, and also the luxury ski resort of St Anton, Austria is second only to France in terms of popularity with ski/snowboarding die-hards.

Offering huge skiing areas, hill runs as well as stunning powder snow, Austrian ski holiday resorts offer something different for everybody: Alpine towns, wonderful après skiing as well as kilometres of pine-lined ski runs, and constant cold weather meaning a huge chance of finding all-year around snow regardless of time of year.

The annual week-long Glastonbury-esque Snowbombing festival in Mayrhofen adds to the party reputation of Austrian resorts - with huge international acts such as the Prodigy performing to music/party fans who like to ski!

We like to party when we ski - so naturally a vibrant aprés ski is essential! What are your favourite French and Austrian Ski resorts- and what do they offer you above and beyond other similar resort?
