Skiing in Courmayeur, Italy

I just came back from the annual firm ski trip for my banking and capital markets group. This year we went to the cutest little town called Courmayeur in Italy, 1.5 hours out of Milan. Lots of posh italians from Milan have weekend places here. We flew in from London to Geneva and had a bus transfer to the resort. Apparently this was one of the best years ever. The hotel was 4*, the skiing conditions were perfect, and it was a good turnout. I think I actually got a tan. I highly recommend this resort town if you want to take a short ski trip. The ski resort didn't have enough runs to last 1 week but for a long weekend this was perfect. Despite the perfect conditions, I am still a so-so skiier although I took a 2 hour private lesson on the Saturday morning with Frederico which helped. Here are some pics.
