Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

flangesax, good deal, but I was hoping for flight/transfer/accommodation/food for less than that, a distressed sale from a Tour Op who's making his profit from advance sales of the peak weeks and can afford to sell at cost/at a loss just to fill seats.

ITV's teletext service has some incredible deals at the moment for January. And in some snow sure resorts. It does take some phoning around, but well worth the effort from past experience. One of the best was £349 3* CC, F & T in Tignes.

Ski in - ish (you finish about 50m from the hotel). Ski out - no, you walk about 50m to the gondola which is at the bottom of the ski area. Ski out to me means you put your skis on before reaching any lift, and pretty well straight out of the door of the accommodation.

Still looks a good deal, although Neiderau is small in ski area, it is very friendly, and it amazed me just how many of the people going there returned frequently.

If you see a named accommodation deal on Teletext, Iglu or any other consolidator agency, a good tip is to google the accommodation name to see which Tour Op it's from, you might well be able to book it cheaper with them direct, either online or by phone, that was the case with the Ski Total deal I booked, I saw it in lots of places at a higher price!

Sadly the deals aren't as cheap as previous years, the Soldeu and Niederau packages should be under £200, and La Plagne £250 tops. I guess it's the well-publicised slashing of capacity as well as the weak pound.

Unless the TOs are playing a game of chicken and holding out til the very last minute to drop prices. wink

Agreed. And prices aren't even that much lower now than they were when I booked towards the end of November (for 9th Jan, solo traveller).

Unless I wanted to stay in St Wolfgang or Seefeld, the only deal I can find with Crystal cheaper than the one I got is to the Hotel Austria in Neiderau - £330. Everything else is well over £400.

Seefeld might be OK if I got the "Happy Ski Card" and had some way of getting to the other resorts on it, but St Wolfgang isn't really a ski resort at all - I have no idea why all the TOs seem to include it.

Agreed - 35-45 minute bus ride to all of 12km of runs. Shocked

Or 90 minutes to Dachstein West with a fair bit more. I am surprised there is ANYWHERE in the Austrian mountains which is 90 minutes away from the nearest decent skiing. Why on earth is it listed in ski brochures? Puzzled

stevomcd, myself and others have pimped a few deals recently on snowHead but having spoken to a few operators i am not sure just how many last minute deals will be available Puzzled

Mark Warner, Ski Olympic and other operators in Tignes tell me that they are nearly full for January. We are expecting lots of Russians next week with their favourite hotels fully booked. Ski school forward bookings are pretty good too.

The forward bookings show peak times,Half term and Easter, slightly down but cheaper periods, January and April/May slightly up.

Perhaps Tignes bookings are up due to the poor start to the season in lower resorts Puzzled

Check out www.ifyouski.com and www.igluski.com , there are sub-£300 packages out there for Jan.

Ignore the Bulgaria deals at least until snow improves.

Google the hotel/chalet to find the tour op, it may well be cheaper to book direct, there may be fees and supplements to be added.

Don't be swayed by snowHeads who say the only deals out there are the not particularly impressive discounts offered by other snowHeads Toofy Grin

You're looking for a large operator who can offer places last minute at half-price or less just to fill the last few seats at cost price, of course it does depend on there being spare capacity which seems to down this year, hence the lack of sub-£200 deals.

Usually the best deals appear once everyone is back to work after New Year, ie. this coming week, so keep your eyes peeled!

It's the nearly full Tour Ops that may end up discounting the last few seats just to fill them to help cover costs.

The Russian bookings won't affect British Tour Op capacity which will be contracted before the start of the season, particularly the catered Chalets/ Club Hotels.
