Mine is simpler.
1 week of Jan. Plan Peisey/Les Arcs with wife and 3 kids using Esprit for a week. last season using Esprit. Buying in Arc 2000 so that will (please) be ready for 2008/2009. Had 30 pages of a french mortgage offer through today.
March 12th fly out for 4 days with wife. Mother in Law has kids. Flights booked to Geneva. Location to visit undecided but highly likely to be Les Arcs/La Plagne.

To hopefully take possession of my apartment in Grimentz prior to Xmas and then have 2 or 3 weeks there with the family during the winter.
Also, I'm hoping to go on the company/client trip to Serre Chevalier in January.

You're taking a sailing ship instead of airoplanes to those places, right? To help reduce the carbon footprint...

This season is in the planning stage but looks like I'm going to Hintertux in December, then probably Zermatt or Nendaz in January, Austria or France...or Canada (decisive, me) in Feb or April with the family, Nendaz or Zermatt in March and Hemsedal in April. All for long weekends except for the yearly 2 week family trip! I'll be going to the 520m indoor slope at Landgraaf before that!

Moving to British Columbia in early October.
Have Truck and 5th wheel RV organised so will then spend the next 6 or 7 months travelling round exploring as many resorts as I can. The list of resorts/ski hills is already HUGE!

gwaelod, 
Go on....leave the rat race for a bit.  |
3 kids (5,7,8, they love skiing ), 2 dogs, 4 cats, 2 ducks, 4 chickens, mortgage here, just taking a mortgage out in France for a property in Les Arcs. I am the rat race!!
In truth as a kid growing up in Ireland skiing was just soemthing we knew nothing about. I only skied for the first time when 32 and then we took a break for 7 years when the kids were young. We got back to skiing 2 years ago and now get 2 trips a year. One with kids and one wihout. I know if as an 18 year old I had gone skiing I would not have come back. I don't any regrets in life except one and that was taking up skiing earlier. But c'est la vie. Enjoy your trip as in years to come I will be encouraging my 3 to do it

OCT/NOV
Not sure whether I'll be attending the PSB, but would love to. Otherwise, will be aiming to get a short break or even a week away with the missus to somewhere cheap in either the Alps or Andorra.
DEC/JAN
Was looking at doing New Year's eve week in somewhere like Val Thorens but it's looking more like the second week of January for a group of six of us. That'll be a 10 day/two-week trip and the main one of the season.
MAR/APR
Went to La Plagne last March for a sneaky trip with mates an would liek to fit in another. However, I missed out on Snowbombing in Mayohoffen last year so would like to do this at the end of April.
I feel so depressed that I still have six months until the group trip

gwaelod,
I understand.
My circumstances are rather different.
I'm 37, proffessionally qualified mechanical engineer, no house, no partner, no offspring so I think that if I don't do it now I probably never will.....Oh yes...I have a permanent residency visa for Canada too....

Skiing around the Rhone Valley late Jan for 2 weeks.
Late Feb/early Mar hooking up with the guys in Le Grave and onto BSM. Just need to flesh out the trips with detail but that will be about 4 weeks skiing, I hope.

Am planning to find a sunken pirates galleon full of booty in the clear up of the floods in Stratford upon Avon, followed by peace in the Middle East by late January.
I shall be punctuating these events by spending some considerable time contemplating life in Villaroger and the Tarentaise in general

Les Collons for New year and a week in Feb discovering the 4 vallees from our new place for definite, plus any sneaky time I can get away with 
Will be going back to lessons for the first time in 7 years looking forward to big improvements, ha ha.
Planning to try Rocarasso and the other Italian resorts close to Rome if the snow is good. Speaking to my new collegues and they say that the conditions were very poor for most of last year. Working shift will let me avoid the weekends though.

End of Jan flights booked, just need to choose hotel in Tignes with in-laws.
Leaves March open for the last minute, probably Austria, trip with mates.
Am thinking of starting getting fit already. Will probably still be thinking about starting getting fit in mid Jan. And I expect I will probably still be thinking about starting getting fit in March.
I am pouring over everyone's photos in mediazone already.
