I'm due to drive down to ADH in April half term, staying in Oz village. Still clinging to the hope that my trip will go ahead...however my optimism is reducing by the day!

Stayed in Oz in the past with Chilled Mountain, lovely spot for getting about. Hope it works out for you and you enjoy some slope time.

This is a really important point which I can't stress enough. Apart from the very smallest of one-man-bands any reputable ski company should have bonding to protect you from financial faliure and I would strongly advise anyone looking to book for next year to check that this is in place. It should be clearly displayed on their website, and they should be able to send you a link.

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

I think we all know this. It protects from financial failure of the TO (package and flights) it doesn't protect if an area is closed that would be insurance related. Larger TO's may try to redirect you of course which is an advantage.
What's most important is that you purchase insurance that specifically covers supplier failure, in that case if the one-man band went under you'd be covered.
I have booked through Erna Low but I'd happily book direct with Odalys and Eurotunnel direct. I have insurance that covers me for supplier failure.

Hi @James77,
Yes you are right that insurance would cover for an area that was closed rather than the bonding and is much more relevant to bookings for this year as you say.
My point was responding to people talking about booking for next year, but I agree that non bonded with adequate insurance to cover financial faliure works just as well.
Have a good ski

@marodo2712, Like you I recently had 'permission' to go on my 3rd trip this season (with 13yr old son) in the Easter Hols . . .got straight on the phone and there are some good deals in the usual high altitude French resorts . . .was going to book (on the basis that a full refund would be in place should that country / region go on lock down) however have now held back and will wait another 2-3 weeks before making a more informed / rational decision.
Biggest worry for me is lockdown occurring in country and getting stuck / quarantined - biggest appeal is a good price for a week with no other skiers!

@Weathercam, there's a Lyon BA flight around midday. Just sorting son's options out, looks like he's going to go for Marseille on Monday as there is less hanging around time in Heathrow. Still an early start from here though to get him there compared to Turin.
