So here are our top 10 suggestions the places expert skiers could go this winter to test their skills. ——————————————————————————————————1/10— www.teletextholidays.co.uk DIAL-A-FLIGHT CARIBBEAN SEE p288 Q&A UK Resorts Total Ents Holidays

Its glacier-eroded peaks offer plenty of steep stuff to chill your bones. It has good black runs and great views over the glacial scenery. It also has lots of moguls to test your skills. ■ Alta, US. If you're a snowboarder don't bother, because they won't let you in. Alta is about an hour from Salt Lake City and isn't so much of a resort as a couple of bases. Has off- piste skiing but some good runs too. ——————————————————————————————————2/10— See our guide to Seville 173 FOR MED/EUROPEAN CRUISES SEE p227 Q&A UK Resorts Total Ents Holidays

Although this is the home of the Matterhorn, you don't actually get to ski on its sides but there is plenty of steep stuff to make up for it on nearby peaks. ■ Courchevel, France. One of the resorts in the Three Valleys network and some tough skiing, with a number of highly regarded black runs. Ironic as many of the visitors come in fur coats to swan round the boutiques. ——————————————————————————————————3/10— Your holiday queries answered 175 FREEPHONE HAYS TRAVEL See p274 Q&A UK Resorts Total Ents Holidays

Known to many for its apres ski scene, this is also one of the most challenging resorts with spiky mountains and plenty of steep runs and moguls on offer, including the Black Slope known as a 4x4. ■ Tignes, France. In the Espace Killy region this is a magnet for advanced skiers who not only come for the off- piste options but also the testing black runs. And when you get bored, use the fast chair to Val d'Isere. ——————————————————————————————————4/10— Where's hot now? 178 PORTUGAL & MADEIRA HOLIDAYS SEE p291 Q&A UK Resorts Total Ents Holidays

It may be quite a trek to British Columbia but experts are happy to make the pilgrimage. The skiing is on two mountains, Whistler and Blackcomb, and the resort is often voted best in the US. ■ Beaver Creek, US. Often overshadowed by neighbours Vail and Breckenridge but it has some heart-pumping attractions. Beaver Creek has a very European feel. It's steep and very intoxicating. ——————————————————————————————————5/10— www.teletextholidays.co.uk GREAT LOCAL DEPARTURES p289 Q&A UK Resorts Total Ents Holidays

It may be glitzy, but it isn't all about film stars. Aspen is also a true skier's resort — good for those who want a real challenge. Aspen has it all — good looks, great nightlife and challenging runs. ■ Big Sky, US. Not too well known internationally, but anyone who's looking for steep pistes and deep powder will be interested. The skiing is spread over two mountains including a 50 degree slope. ——————————————————————————————————6/10— Total Entertainment 140 LOOKING FOR XMAS LOVE?
