Hey Robbie, very nice video about the resort :) Just at the end you said it does not have a very lively après ski, and you say there is nothing like a big folie douce style thing, but there actually is a folie douce in Alpe d'Huez, at the top of the Marmottes 1 lift ;) Also, in the town of Alpe d'Huez there is quite a lot of clubbing to do.

We ski, crystal or Heidi aren't bad. I'd recommend alpe d'huez (where Robbie is) if you're complete beginners. Don't be tempted to go to the cheapest place you find (ie somewhere like Bulgaria) as the slopes might not necessarily be as beginner friendly Highly recommend getting yourself to an indoor artificial ski slope as well for lessons so you don't waste too much time on holiday learning the basics.

I find it really hard to show how steep runs are on video. Something will look really steep, then I watch it back on the video and it looks easy. So no, it’s steeper than it looks, at least on the early section.
