 Poster: A snowHead
|
Does anyone have any advise for a 2nd week skier wanting to get a last minute ski holiday in February. Money isn't really a problem I just have no idea how to predict where the conditions will be best!

Neither does anyone else, really, but one sure thing is that if you come to France, the first week will be best from the point of view of crowds; the whole of the rest of the month is school holidays, and busy. Otherwise, given the pattern to date and the dearth of base at lower altitudes, go high. Val Thorens, somewhere like that. Should be some good last minute deals available, too, so that if money is not a problem you could go somewhere really luxurious (to make up for Val T being bleak and treeless??). It looks as though there is going to be some snow during the last quarter of January, but then becoming mild again, so the first week in Feb might be a good bet from the weather point of view, too.

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

pam w, I agree.
You better like crowds and lots of whining kids! School holidays should be banned until much later, possibly May!
Call Le Bel Horizon hotel in Val Thorens, i'm there at the moment (leave today). They have space and bargains are to be had.
Good luck.

Rob,
Certain places in the USA have great snow conditions at the moment, or are you only looking at a European holiday?

You can't beat whining kids - but you can still take away their toys!

I was looking at Canada but it is looking like my budget won't stretch that far. I am liking the idea of VT the week starting 29th Jan but I am unsure about my calendar. I definately do want to beat the school holidays though!
