 Poster: A snowHead
|
3 friends and myself are planning a nice ski trip in 2015. Looking for places with a lot of exploring to be done (off piste kind), good snow, high and lots of runs (blacks not being mougle fields if poss.).
Just wondering if any of you have any good places to go that are REASONABLY priced. Hoping to do it for £1.3K per person (own skis and boots and poles).
Not too bothered about time in season but would like either Christmas time or February. Also when is best to book holidays likes this/ when are deals on (not last minute).
Not after a package, just when to book flights, suggestions where to go and what airline. Thanks.
Thanks in advance.

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

Any other package sites? Not much scope for tignes.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Crystal, Inghams, Neilson, Snowcoach, Skiweekends, Direct ski, Igluski (clearing house for others), Skiworld, Direct Ski.......
If going Feb avoid France as most of the month is half term for various areas of the country. (£1.3k each should be plenty).
If you go DIY can you drive? If not go for somewhere close to an airport as private transfer costs can be quite hefty for longer transfers.

hammerite, been with crystal before, not great.
Oh is it? Might have to go for Austria instead then.

One bad crystal holiday doesn't make them all bad. We've probably done 4 or 5 and all been fine.
We're not particularly fussy though so judge a holiday mostly on the skiing.

Pi, sign up for a bash. Spend the rest of the money on booze. On the PSB and EoSB there are often offpiste guides, private lessons, and other stuff that you don't often get on a package deal.

Pi, You're young. Look at the packages with UCPA, through Action Outdoors. You can get whole weeks of all-inclusive, full board, including ski pass, kit and lessons (up to an extremely high standard, including off piste guiding and touring) for not very much money at all, with an additional discount if you're a student. Think (depending on timing and location) around £700.
