 Poster: A snowHead

Just received this reminder from Rail Europe.
Winter Booking Window opens this Thursday at 5am!
On Thursday 13th October, anyone wanting to book French rail travel for their Christmas, New Year or ski holidays should set their alarm clocks for an early start. Trains running to the new winter timetable go on sale at 5am and due to pan-European demand, it is likely that the best fares will sell out quickly.The winter timetable features increased services on routes popular with skiers, such as the Paris to Moutiers, Aime, Bourg St Maurice overnight service, which runs every night throughout the winter ski season
Trains begin running on the new winter timetable on Sunday 11th December 2011 and from Thursday, you’ll be able to book tickets for travel through to Thursday 12th January 2012.
Can be booked either via Rail Europe or directly at www.sncf.fr

However the previous weekend (Sat/Sun 3rd/4th) is still a black-hole of no timetable info for Bourg-Paris due to engineering works. (PSB-ers I just checked again, still not released. Will look again on Thursday morning though in case they declare it at the same time as the winter timetable.)

I still don't get the SnowTrain, yes people say you get a day extra on the slopes but that is because you set off a day earlier. If I flew on Friday night instead of Saturday morning I would get the extra day too.

russ_e, where will you stay on the Friday night? If you're wanting to ski Saturday-Saturday (inclusive) and got a flight in on the Friday night chances are you'd have to pay for an extra nights accommodation.

Arctic Roll, Either they didn't say or, more likely, I missed that email from them. I haven't checked but I would assume tickets are now available up until 12th March 2012.
