Poster: A snowHead

We are going to Grimentz, next Feb half term. My youngest will need ski school/creche.
How long before, do people usually book?
Should I be thinking of doing it now?

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Why not book now? I can't see any benefit to waiting.

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

ssnowman, Depends who you go to. If it's a small operation the sooner the better to be sure. If it's a big school then probably about 6 weeks before your holidays. Not many of the bigger schools have much of a staff in the summer though, so be prepared to wait to here. Best is to send a recorded delivery letter, then they can't say they didn't get it cos it got lost in the summer stuff!

I'm a Northerner, I like to hold on to my money as long as possible.
Also, I'm not sure if ski schools are open to take bookings in summer.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

easiski, thanks for the advice. There are 2 ski schools, I picked up leaflets about them when I was there last week. So I'll decide which sounds the most suitable & try to get in touch with them.

ssnowman, there are a couple of Grimentz experts here, including brian who owns an apartment there. Maybe send him a PM to ask his advice?

ssnowman, Half term. Book now. As an example, NewGen Villandry are already booked.

ssnowman, We've used the ESI (www.ins-ski.ch). They've been fine and max class size is 6. We've not used the ESS but have seen them out and about with a dozen or more kids in tow so I think we'll stick with ESI.
Which week is your half term ? I'll be out Feb 9-17.
