Just out of interest, are you looking to do the whole trip for under £500 each? ie. including travel, accom, food+drink, liftpasses, ski-hire.
Or have you mentally excluded elements eg. the lift pass or perhaps the travel costs if you're driving? It makes quite a big difference.

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

Whole trip minus spending money. We have done it before self drive and managed it quite comfortably using snowtrex for the accom which includes a lift pass and if you do it at the right time of year doesn't cost much more than the price of a lift pass. Im up for leaving booking the exact resort till quite close to the date to get any late booking discounts there are out there if other people don't mind throwing the dice or going to a smaller resort. Currently you can go to Superdevoluy for £204 each including the 2 person in a 4 berth supplement so its quite doable. We have all our own ski gear so driving saves on extra baggage cost associated with flying and means the playstation and any other extra gear my lad wants can come along as well. If we can get another 2 people interested or even more then the price goes down and the transport costs get split more ways hence the post on here.

Completely fair - I was going to say that if you're looking to get it all in for that, you're probably best off looking at late deals. Similarly, small resorts that may not have the most advanced snow-making are less of a risk last-minute.
I used to do it all the time, myself - not everyone has the nerve to hang on till the final few days though

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm the same position but looking at 13-23rd Dec, can you adjust your dates, my lad is 16.
We could easily do it for under £500 each with the 4 of us.
We are looking at 2 alpes (Glacier).

hi Esdel. Unfortunately I work shifts so my dates are fixed as it's my rostered break in Jan and I don't have any floating days left to take.

Just a quick update to flesh out the pricing for this jaunt. Accommodation and lift pass for 6 days skiing and 7 nights in some decent resorts are starting to drop and currently we could manage to get a 6 berth apartment including supplement for only 3 occupants for £250 each. This is including places like St. François-Longchamp which is connected to Valmorel with over 160km of piste so not too shabby at all. Fuel is going to be about £100 each way as is the motorway tolls and the ferry comes in about £100 return. Add this all together and we get £500 for travel and £250 a head for lift pass and accommodation. One more body in the car splits the travel 3 ways leaving the cost at about £415. If we managed to get 4 of us in then obviously things get cheaper including the accommodation. and it comes in at just under £350 a head.
