Two weeks mid-January and mid-March in Serre Chevalier, EOSB in VT in April. We really want to do the birthday bash, but money and annual leave makes it likely to be out of the question.

This thread is designed to depress me - no trips booked or going to be booked as juniorskis will all being well be putting in an appearance mid Feb, right in the middle of the season. That was some seriously bad planning wasn't it!
In my alternative life though, we would be doing Zell in Jan just MrSkis and I, and a big group trip to somewhere in the Ski Amade in early March, and possibly a cheeky weekend in late March if we could get a good deal.

Couple of weeks in Vancouver with the in-laws over Xmas and New Year will inevitably include as much skiing as possible
Hopefully a week of steep stuff with Offpisteskiing in March/April
Long weekends in Jan and early March; maybe a season closer at La Grave for the first May bank holiday

I've organised 3 groups of 6 to ski off piste with guides:
8 1/2 days in Verbier in January
8 days in La Grave (going out on the overnight trains) in February
8 1/2 days in Gressoney La Trinité in March.
Everything fixed - flights, guides, hotels - just one skier for the La Grave group up in the air (and trains, of course, have to be booked 3 months before we go).
Our guide for 2 of the holidays finalised all his winter bookings a month or two ago so we have to do things early.

I assume Touchguru is either filthy rich and doesn't have to work much, or works in the ski industry.
That post is just to inspire jealousy from the rest of us mere mortals!

I'd say Touchguru, is either retired with no work ties, or is self employed or a contract worker and doesn't do a lot of work in the winter months, choosing to do most of his/her work in the summer months. Or, someone who isn't retired but doesn't need to work for whatever reason.
Or, is doing a mini season of a sorts but not in one place.
Touchguru, good on yuh

Hopefully Cairngorm from early Nov/Dec most weekends and maybe a sneaky mid week if the conditions are right . Chamonix from the 27th Dec until the 8th of January , then most weekends again in the Scottish Highlands , Meribel for Easter. Dont think the good lady will let me get away with much more than that.
Touchguru, I'm so jealous !!!! although if we get a Highlands season like 2009/2010 then I will be soooooo happy....

Current plans look like 12 weeks in the Alps between the end of September and the end of May. In between times I'll be at Hemel rather a lot. Worked out earlier today (while trying to ignore the pain in my feet being inflicted by CEM) that I've had ski boots on at least two days a week, but usually more, for 50 out of the last 52 weeks.
