 Poster: A snowHead
|
I am thinking of treating myself to an early week this December for my Birthday (4th December).
I did have Sunshine Village in mind and skied it the same week in 2004. They had loads of snow and the whole place was open, but any ideas for somewhere closer to home??

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

Why don't you ask for book tokens instead?

johnboy, yes. Was in Stowe in December. Haven't been in Tignes in a few years.
Tignes: glacier, so guaranteed skiing. Closer, more expensive when there.
Stowe: can be very cold. early season snow not guaranteed, but there will be some open. (and smuggs is just around the corner). Further away, but cheaper when you're there.

Sunshine is a solid option, staying in the Sunshine in with Ski Independence is about £900 for the week. (Incl Air Canada Heathrow-Calgary, Transfer, Accomm, Lift Pass, 1 hr tuition per day.)
Any idea on doing it cheaper, ie DIY?

johnboy, you'll struggle to beat that. Does that include Belfast - London? (Ski Indy used to do supplements that weren't too bad for that leg)
You going on your own, or is Mrs Johnboy tagging along?

johnboy, have you tried emailing the Sunshine Inn directly? As its low season they might be able to do you a good deal including pass and tuition and you could book flights/transfers independently. I think their email is reservations@skibanff.com . Might be cheaper, especially if you opted for Zoom flights rather than Air Canada.

Wear The Fox Hat,
Should I say a Fox asked me to call? I dealt with Gavin last time, but I think he's gone now

johnboy, well, you could tell him you were a friend of the real me, and he'll probably wonder who you are talking about, but then again, he might remember... (but it won't get you any discount)
