long flights and xfers but more chance of snow - night-life non-existent - saw plenty of wildlife on the xfers to the slopes but wouldn't want to ski there towards the end of the season as the grizzly bears are real hungry in March and come into town looking for chav's to dine on - why chav's ? because the cheap perfume can be smelt from miles away and they trip over there shoe laces!!
