Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Why is skiing soooo expensive. Even the cheapest holiday short break doesn't give you much change out of £450(inc spending money). I've just been away to Tignes on the Atomic ski camp. That was £140 for 4 days accomodation half board and transfers. We couldn't get the cheap flights to match the transfers so we hired a car for 4 days at £105, £35 each, airport parking £10 each, flights £70 and about £170 spending money. That works out at £425. I'm not sure that for what we got could have been beaten on price, especially as the accomodation included lift pass for the espace killy and free equipment. I'm going away in the first week of february with about 6 mates (nothing booked yet) and are hoping to book in the middle of January to get a cheaper deal. Is this the best way forward for keeping costs down??? and for having a better idea of where the snows gonna be!!!! Or is the cheap holiday option gonna have to be bulgaria???

In 4 days!!! Shocked

What (and how much) did you drink? Puzzled Shocked

It seems to me it's not the "skiing" part of the holiday that's expensive. It's the "holiday" part... But then, you're on holiday and having a good time. Smile

£170 seems a lot if you're half-board too.

Helen Beaumont, entertaininng on the mountains seems to be very good value. The lift pass would be much more expensive in that part of Italy as they would have far more lifts in that area compared to SC, so it could be considered better value. It is a stunning area one we will definately go back to.

Like you we always have the use of a certain bolt hole but Selva turned my head this year, spectacular scenery similar to Zermatt IMO.

red 27, I suppose there is a market for all sorts and wallet sizes. ozwhit, You will have a ball, the hidden valley from Laguzoi is a must. Have fun.
