Regarding Club Med ski trips:

I've gone to St. Moritz twice via Club Med.
I'm a cross country skier and I have never had so much fun
or skied such challenging terrain as when I was in the
St. Moritz area.
I skied with a Club Med group of about 12 people both times.
They were all very experienced skiers, and they were all Europeans;
they were suprised to see an American x-country skier!
We generally averaged 30 km per day, and all that food they
serve was very appreciated.

My first time over there I stayed at Potresina, which at the
time was a grand old hotel on the side of the mountain.
It looked like a fortress. Unfortunately, they had a severe
fire that summer and so the Pontresina resort is now in
much smaller quarters. That is the main reason it is not
advertised in the US. The next year I stayed at the Roi Soleil,
much more modern accomidations, and because of thedownhillers,
a much more international crowd. Just about every civilized
country was included, plus Australia:-).

I heartily recommend the trip, besides being very reasonable 
costwise, it is a great way to meet interesting people from
all over the world.
