There is some useful infor in this thread. In this part of London half-term in February is 13th-17th. From what I can tell the first week of February is the quietest if you must ski that month. Better still, go last week of January or early March.

I hope it's half term then. We've booked to take a shed load of them to the Alps.

the French holidays generally spread over four weeks, last three weeks in February and the first week in March include the first week of March.

toby wright, Last week of Feb up to 4th March is the French school holidays close to Morzine etc. Best avoid I'd say (and I have kids)

If it's quiet February slopes that you want, there is another way - go to North America. USA has a busy public holiday on 20 Feb (I'm 90% certain of the date, it's based on hotel prices) but no winter half term and no rush of kids in that month.

You know it makes sense.

The best week in Feb is the week before the british half term always quiet and cheaper

Fat-Russ, welcome to snowHeads 
Looks like I will be in Courchevel for half term in Feb - not exactly sure when. I get the impression that Val Thorens can easily cope with the crowds - how about the rest of the 3V's?

Courcheve very crowded in half term last season report from a friend who was there. But from experience a great resort for all levels. Thanks for the welcome

Chris, sounds promising! We've only visited the 3V's at Val Thorens in late season so we're looking forward to seeing it in a different light...
Fat-Russ, it's my main function

Helen Beaumont, We are flying out the 19th Feb but because most of the saarf is off the week before, we have saved about £150 per head.
