 Poster: A snowHead

So, it's my Big 50 in October half term.
Looking for ideas on something special or just something nice to do
Where can I ski then , and what might be a bit different ?

May be skiing on a few of the glaciers in Europe. LDA glacier is open for a week - depends on your half term. Couple of glaciers in Austria bound to be open.

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

I've skied with Mountainsun in Tignes several times in half term. It's fun, clean and comfortable, but not luxurious. It depends on how you define "special." Is there still snow in Chile in October?

To be honest we might just have an Official 50th on a different but more sensible travel/ski date

Zermatt. Good skiing and the best apres ski in the world at that time of year.

Hintertux in Austria

Zermatt will have the only guaranteed skiing at that time of year.
Hintertux a good backup option.
Or go to New Zealand and catch some Spring skiing at the close of their season.

Hintertux will be open as will the Sölden Rettenbach Glacier at least maybe both, it just depends when in October the birthday is. It could be that all the Tirol glaciers are open by then as well. The weekend of the 22/23rd October and the week leading up to that will have the world's elite up on the Rettenbach for the season opener of the World Cup! Now that is always a fun week and weekend, I've got my accommodation booked already

Do a race carve course with Snoworks in Tignes! Everybody needs to try some gates at some point (apologies if you are an ex-national team skier or something...).
