Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Poster: A snowHead
I've got a chance of a really good deal if I can Get 10 people on this today! Shocked

I know it's short notice but leaving Gatwick Sunday 15th Jan
St. Anton
Chalet Board inc food, wine etc.

£250
This price includes All flight supplements, taxes, transfers etc. This is what u will pay.

I know there are a few very cheap deals knocking around for some of the smaller resorts or harder to let properties but St Anton is world class; one of those to 'tick off your list' (if u have a list Wink ).

I need to know fast though. Post here or PM me.

Why, aren't there any OK, good or excellent ones stanton?

It's a week ie. 7 nights. 9AM dep from Gatwick so if all goes well we might get half a day on the slopes on Sun. So 6 or 6 1/2 days snowTime.


Would this help Nick?

9am dept Gatwick into Innsbruck you may get an hour on slopes. Zurich or Munich no chance.

There are probably OK & Good or Excellent but you will pay alot more than £250.

Genrally the cheaper end hire crap to useless chalet staff imported from Australia,Sweden,UK,Denmark whos only mission is to ski & drink. Turnover of staff in these places is HIGH.

Pesonally I hate the Chalet concept. First of all you do not know who your going to end up sitting round the table with & once your there your pretty much stuck with it all week. 99.99% of the time all the clients are people from your own country. Theres no social interaction with others nationalities,cultures etc.

Worse of all is, that these Chalet companys take vaulable revenues away from the locals. I know people will say that the Chalet Staff buy there produce locally but this is generally from a multinational chain (Spar) and no locals see this.

Well aren't we a little ray of sunshine this afternoon stanton? Laughing

Obviously one would normally have to pay far more than £250 for a package like this, the brochure price is well over double this. We are benefiting from the fact that the departure date is so close. I'm going with a few friends anyway but I ws offered a bit of a bonus if I filled the place. The company has a good rep and as someone who has many years experience of skiing on the cheap, I have no doubt that it's a bargain.

I've used chalets a great number of times and have never found myself at a table with anyone I was unhappy to share a meal with; perhaps I'm less choosy than u Wink

Well, this is the same old global economy / international movement of labour bah blah that can spring up in any thread at the drop of a hat and I'd rather this topic wasn't diverted in that direction, thank you.
But, as far as interaction with other nationalities goes, I know that I, a Brit, will be there with a Kiwi and an Indian at the very least so I think 3 continents covered so far isn't bad eh?

Anyway, thank you for your offer to appraise our accommodation for next week but I somehow get a sense that you wont give me quite the most objective opinion - I'll pass on your regards to Spar wink

DB,

Bright sunny -8ish in morning now around +2 in town. No new snow since I was last hear on 3rd Jan,

This is only a quick Pit Stop I got to go back to Holland on Sunday. I think the weather is going to be pretty much the same for the next few days. Could def use some new snow for the Off-Piste hopefully when I come back in early February Very Happy

Anyone coming out, the pistes are fine (if your into that sort of thing) . Get up early to make the best of the new groomers because they tear up after the ski schools start at 10:00 & manmade snow piles up like sugar & leave sheet ice compared to natural snow Very Happy

It low season at the moment so not to many folk.

Incidently all the locals are going on about how good the snow is in the Eastern Tirol,Salzburg (Kitzbuhul,Soll,Saalbach etc)

That's really good to hear but they'd better not be all coming over to try it out next week! Twisted Evil Bit concerned it hasn't snowed in Saalbach since 3 Jan although there are good depths there and the temps have been cold.

It's the only trip I book far ahead but I'm coming from Eastern Austria where some of the hils have around 3 metres of snow (it's normally the other way round) rolling eyes You will probably roll out Sun as I roll in Sat pm. I'm with a guide most of the week and even in low snow years he always manages to pull a few powder stashes out of the bag. Actually prefer it when the piste snow is in mounds, it makes it much more interesting than a groomed piste.
