Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Guys
After recently going on my first solo/group trip to Austria i have well and truley got the bug and much pre3fer this way of travelling.
So much so that I really would like to do a trip in between Xmas and New year.
My question is this
Do trips exist at this time of year?If so how much can i expect to pay and where are good places to go? I know its a while off yet but thought i would ask the question.
Any help would be greatfull
Thanks

Andy2809, They most certainly exist. Christmas week is quieter and cheaper. New Year week busier and quite expensive.

Hi Layne thanks for the reply.
Do people generally create such groups nearer to the time? Like i say I know its a while off but just wanted to see what the score was with it all.ALso is there plenty of snow around various places at that time of year?Have you done a trip yourself?
cheers

Andy2809, when you say 'in between Christmas and New Year' what do you mean? Do you want to be away for New Year, arriving around 27/28th December for a week? If so, as Layne, says, that's the busiest, most expensive week of the season and if you know where you want to go, or have specific travel requirements you'd be advised to sort it out sooner rather than later.

Again thanks for the reply That was the week i was talking about yes.
As for where i want to go I'm not massively clued up on where is best at that time of year, i was thinking of just joining a group of people that may have pre-organised a trip.
Cheers

Andy2809, pretty much anywhere would be fine at that time of the year. As Montana says it is a peak week so best to get sorted sooner rather than later. If you "advertise" on the "Solo Skiers v Groups - Organising Trips" board someone may have a place going. Or you maybe get something nearer the time, if you are comfortable with the fact you may not have much choice or get anything at all. Any particular reason you want to go that specific week?

Hmm. New Year is very early season - only the second open week for many resorts. Snow depths are, on average, lower than they are now, towards the end of March. It's usually OK, but certainly no guarantees.

yes but New Years skiing is a great time to go. Anytime I'm home at new years I always wish I had booked skiing away. Im thinking about it already, but think I would be solo. That said I've gone solo joining/forming a snowheads group last two years running in this forum......
