Shimmy Alcott, If you book Easyjet and the price is subsequently lowered you can claim back the difference, but it is given as a credit against your next booking not refunded.
So yes book now, but with the threat of the Icelandic Volcano kicking off again why not drive over? Plan an overnight stop in a Chateau and relax in style on the way

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

It's back now. 
It was returning a message saying "Document no longer exists" when I tried it last night.
But now that I can look at it again, it definitely reads to me that by "independent" they do mean what we would call independent, or DIY.

Shimmy Alcott, yes, flights generally just get more expensive as the time approaches. With easyJet, if they get cheaper after you book, you can get the difference refunded as a credit against a future flight (provided you have half a life to waste on their very expensive customer service line.  ).
If you know when you want to go, and where, there's everything to be said for booking a flight asap. Using a credit card, just in case they go bust in the meantime.

I can recommend a nice chateau for an overnight stop.

No surprise France suffered the worst given how expensive many resorts are in comparison with some other countries, Scotland bucked the trend though - numbers way up this season gone ... funny they didn't mention that in their report

But add in the Chalet or half board element and 2 free lift passes. I haven't tried pricing self catering with a TO (for a while anyway), the last thing I want to do is cook when I'm on a ski holiday. If I go self catering I can guarantee a £120 a night cost for dinner with drinks (minimum) (2 courses and drinks for 4 in Selva was easily £140). And I'm still short 28 breakfasts
The Belle Plagne apartments are £1500 for one week on £26 Jan. Plus flights and transfers. So def not cheaper at the moment.

I would imagine the most accurate way of counting skiers is to count the lift passes sold.

Ghost Dog, thing is - we couldnt afford to spend £120+ for four for dinner a night anymore. I'd never been keen on self catering but it's the best was to hack away at the cost of a ski holiday. I had the weeks menu planned and took a few supplies out - packet chix casserole sauces etc which just needed a good glug of wine to perk them up  cooking took me as long as it would to get dolled up to go down to dinner so I didnt really feel like I'd been cheated out of a treat - surprisingly. The apts in Belle Plagne are just a couple of mins walk from Spar so we picked up fresh baguettes and ham/cheese after ski school - the left over baguette was used for toast in the morning. I can honestly say i didnt enjoy the holiday any less than staying in a luxury hotel as we had been used to.
