 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hey,
I've only been a member of snowheads a while, but it has been useful!
Anyhow, unfortunately as a boring auditor I am unable to take holiday from Jan to end March, which makes my skiing very expensive and similar to a guessing game regarding snow. (I only have 2 years of ths left though, after that, jan, feb, march, whenever....)
I'm going away at new year (also having some Easiski lessons!) but would like a cheap trip in the first week of April to catch the last of the snow and was wondering if any snowheads were interested? I don't think I'd enjoy going skiing alone (partner cant come, he has exams), and I can't afford a single supplement!
Just wondering if ayone was interested, or if it was recommended that I should wait for the EOSB (can anyone go on this?) I would just be a bit worried that the snow would've gone by then! (but then again I went to Saalbach in late april a few years ago and it was amazing)

KateF, Val Thorens is at 2300m with skiing up to 3300m. They could happily run lifts in June most years if they chose to. If Val T doesn't have snow in April then we might as well all give up ....

KateF,
Agree with Ray Zorro, &brian, . Never been on the EOSB or to Val T. Though have been to 2 other bashes. There will be good skiing with good people in Val T. Looks ideal for your situation. If I have any cash left by the end of this season I plan to be there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

KateF, why not do both?
You say that being unable to ski from Jan to and March "makes my skiinig very expensive". Well, only if you insist on going out for New Year: just about the most expensive time (about equal with half term). This year you have picked a good one as the season seems to be starting particularly well, but in future I would look more to April than January. Better weather and better snow.
But back to this year. Because Easter is so early, prices are plumetting in April. So do two trips. Where else apart from EOSB? I'm sure you will get hundreds of suggestions. Choose a budget, choose a country, close your eyes and stick in a pin. As good a system as any.

I have just booked another mini trip to Tignes with Mountain Sun, April 21st - April 24th £79.00, lift pass and ski / boot hire is extra this time. But everything else is the same as the Atomic Boot Camp deal.
