 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey guys/girls,
I'm looking to organise a ski trip in February and was hoping you could give me some tips on where is good to go and if there are any benefits of going through a booking agent over booking it myself? I don't want to spend a fortune but also don't want to go too budget so any suggestions/recommendations welcome.
I should probably add to this that I am a snowboarder and my girlfriend is a skier so the resort must have a varied choice of terrain/runs to keep us both happy.
Thanks

go to austria, high, like st anton or ischgl. If you are early intermediates why not try andorra and save a few quid for the duty free shopping!!

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

RJDubya, hello and welcome. The easy answer to your question is - it all depends on what you want from your trip. It also depends on when you want to go.
The risk is that you might be going at peak season, so the costs may well be up, and the availability may be down.
Do you want a big party scene, or off piste, or pretty scenery, or .......
If you are looking for value, you could wait and see what is available last minuite, but that will significantly limit your choices. Especially in peak season. But if you are not too worried about your resort, you could do that through a tour operator. If you wait, you might get a good last minute deal, but no choice as to accommodation or choice of resort. The trouble is, if you don't get anything you like, you may end up regretting your location or paying more for your choice at last minute.
If it were me, I would go for a large-ish resort but one not too popular with the British. Maybe Nassfeld or Ski Amade, and if it were me, I would book direct with a property owner and self-cater. Be careful about parting with money to someone unknown and check the accommodation exists. Use a credit card to pay if possible.
There are plenty of people on SnowHeads who can give you information on specific resorts in Ski Amade. Or look at what accommodation is available through other SnowHeads who may offer even you a discount
The bottom line is - 'It all depends on what is important to you and what you want to get out of the holiday'

For Nassfeld, search for cheap flights to Lubljana
