 Poster: A snowHead
|
Sorry all, but I find the whole school holiday/peak period thing a bit confusing.
My question: When is the best week to avoid the school crowds?
Where I live, half term is Monday 20th-Friday 24th Feb 17, so I can avoid that week, but might clash with a French week! What do Snowheads think? The holiday will be a package probably; 2 persons.
Thanks.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

@Charliegolf, the French holidays are 4 February - 5 March. All to be avoided unless you like crowded slopes....

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Just had a quick check, and that week includes UK, Paris and the Netherlands. So it will be busy. Avoid the 3V unless you have to be there. If you definitely are planning to be there come what may, in my experience as a regular 3V skier, if you know what you are doing and where to head, you can avoid queues quite easily. Especially if you are not using ski school-get ahead of the game by being at the lifts at 9am for starters.
How about heading to Italy instead?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks all, so week after 5 March looking good then.
Perty: How about Italy...? Wife and I are up to 4 skiing trips ever, and 3 were in the 3V. I'm a confident but agricultural inter, while she is just coming out of her shell. I'm very keen to go elsewhere, but in discussion yesterday, she said, "Look, I'm just getting there on blues, I am getting to feel that any blue is a goer. But could we not go back to 3V one more time first, where I kind of know the pistes- then look elsewhere."
Why would I want to argue (especially since I am retired and she is the cash-cow!  )?
