What do you want? Good downhill? At what level? Good access? Good hotels? Good food (and wine for mother)? Good value/packages/deals? Good (chair) lifts with short lines?

Or continue flying west to DXB. The return trip will be shorter, assuming that you continue to fly west. There, you've done a RTW.

As a soccer referee. I resemble that.

I don't believe that check has been cut yet. I'm waiting to see it.

Oh, no. Not all all. I merely meant that he should see our lovely door, made of the finest Italian stone money can buy, carved impeccably by our own resident master carver. The head of security here, having met the artist at his workshop and heard him talk about stone carving in length, would be well suited to give a fine tour.

But I can see how my quote could be misconstrued.

Most of that stuff. A mountain that has all different levels of difficulty, good hotels, good food, good price, good chair lifts with short lines, no longer than a 3 hour car ride from the airport and relatively close to a town with groceries, convienence stores, etc.

Let's not mince words here (there's enough of that already without our help). I'm sure you've busted the kid's stones somewhere along the line. I was more pointing to that dubious rule.

Priorities? (Tradeoffs?) I'm tempted to give nirvana as the answer, but it might not be cold enough for good snow.

No, not me. WB!

I hadn't met him at the time, but I was curious who the dude in the back of the yard at the GargoDo was - chained up, sweaty, torn rags for clothes, swinging away with a dull pickaxe...

And we are so excited to see you again.

I would suggest you should visit the caymans They have an aptly named point that you would enjoy.

If I wanted to waste my time doing so, I would look it up and quote something.

Well with what you said, "Why do I get the feeling that that last thing you should post in this thread is to ask everyone to tell you where to go?"...it looks like you are trying to say I shouldn't ask that because most people I should go away from this site.

**Looks at Google maps** Does this point have a 3-lettered name before the word "point" and is that 3-lettered word an alcoholic beverage?
