I know it's a bit early, but I get twitchy if I don't have definite skiing in the pipeline.
Probably going to do Austria for Christmas again - but not sure whether to return to Saalbach or Kitzbuhel or try somewhere new.
Will almost certainly be doing 3V as usual for February half-term.
Feel the need to get booking stuff. And don't say hang on and see where the snow is. I'm stuck with school holiday dates and no options when I travel.
Anyone else twitchy...?

New Year, 1/2 Term/ Easter.
All booked.
BA release flights XXX days before travel.
When you are tied to School holidays as we are...why wait until day XXX-1 and end up paying more?

If you're stuck with high season, booking early is best bet for a bargain - TOs try to spread out their cash flow by offering early-booker discounts etc.

We've got flights booked for a couple of trips. Taken a couple of bookings for our apartment as well, so there are certainly people who like to book early for the peak times.

End of Feb for one week to Selva (same hotel as it was fantastic). Managed to get flights from Scotland (Edinburgh) instead of having to go all the way to Manchester.

Holidays sorted at work for Xmas and New Year, but no definite arrangements yet. boredsurfin, I looked at that , but it isn't worth it as i can;t pay with my tesco vouchers. So far my crossings have cost me 30 quid.

Just booked today to go to St Anton, and feel calmer already...
First time away with the new little-un, so expecting a more family affair ! We booked with Esprit Ski which seems to get all the mentions when it comes to families...
Can't wait - it'll be juniors first taste of snow in the big mountains, and he's got some training to get in if he's gonna make the 2022 Olympics !

Friends have booked the accomodation for a trip to Arabba over Christmas - transport not sorted yet.

Linds, OK, as for Feb, there are a few possibilities as for where I will base myself:
Canyons
Winter Park
Breck
Vail

Well our trip for 44 to La Rosiere had a hiccup, and when we came to put deposits down someone else had booked the chalet. Its back to Reberty (above Les Menuires) on 1st April 2007 for 18 of us. Deposit paid. Silver Ski have now sold every one of the 54 beds in their 3 Reberty Chalets for that week.

johnboy, I wonder if our paths will cross this time? I am thinking of Saalbach too, not sure when, as that will depend on whether we do a Christmas/NY hol with the kids or not. Would you like me to warn you when/if I book for Saalbach, so you know which week to avoid?

I'm going to Soldeu (Andorra) with my group next year. And I'm still not sure why. Every year we go to France - big resorts such as 3 Valleys, Les Arcs, Alpe d'huez etc, something for everyone. But as there's 28 of us the organisers have to book early and pay top prices to tour operators. Now it started to niggle with many people as they could "do their own thing" or make a last minute booking for half the price. So now, to make it cheaper, they booked Andorra. Now I know some people love it. But, long transfers, no ski in/ski out, hotel with "buffet" dinner (chips and salmonella) is not my dream holiday. I did, in fact, almost refuse to go but got talked into it. Please, someone, give me some enthusiasm ....

maggi, Andorra is spending mega € on going upmarket in the lift systems and infrastructure. Some of the Hotels are ski in/out, and pretty posh...and they have had 2 really good winters ...How's that

IncogSkiSno,
Let me know if/when you book Saalbach. I can go anytime in January. It would be good to meet a few more Snowheads.

Am trying to drum up a crowd for a March trip to 3V - why is it always so difficult to get people to think ahead! So far I have five of us, but I need at least another 1 or 2 couples to get the chalet I want.
If I can persuede my wife I might see if I can book a last minute deal somewhere completely different in December,
