France
I stayed in Meribel with these guys and had an awesome time. Everyone was just desperate to get out on the mountain and there’s nothing like crowd-surfing at Ronnie’s in the afternoon! Food was hitting the spot after some pretty incredible days of powder (OK, in my case more like a hard day of pretending to know what the heck am I doing on skis...)
Very disorganised, catered chalets. Poor food, phone bills and internet disconnected for 1/3 of the season, heating and hot water not available twice throughout season with no alternative offered.
Not ATOL or ABTA registered (be warned).
I am a 28-year-old female who has been forced to live in somewhere worse than a male university digs (and that's truly saying something! When doing a season, go self-catered (as Nielsons, Crystals, Thomson unfortunately do not do seasonal accommodation).
