Meribal is, by far and away, the best resort i have visited - i have skied in Austria, Switzerland, North America and France). Though extremely enjoyable for the advanced skier, it may be less so for those wanting to learn. The pistes are varied and challenging and can catch out the best of skiers.
Furthermore, the resort is, by far and away, not the most expensive by any means - if you are after the exclusive skiing holiday, then Verbier should be your destination.
Meribel is situated in the middle of the 3 vallees, which means you can, with the right 3 vallees ski-pass enjoy a trip over to courchevel, which again is definately worth a visit.
The apres-ski, again, is lively and varied. Meribel is the home of the original Dick's Tea Bar, a venue that is renowned throughout the Alps as being a great night out and plenty of fun if nothing else. The locals are very receptive and cater for your every need and the main lifts up to the slopes are a mere stones throw away from the town centre. I advise all to go and share a fantastic skiing experience

Being a ski bum myself, I value any opinions about the sport and where best to do it!
