 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all.
Any suggestions for last minute ski long weekends. May bank holiday would be good which is the 5th May.
Main proviso is must be able to drive there or get the train, as I won't fly!
Cheers
Liz

THere are few places open so late in the season - see the closing dates here

I'd say Tignes is probably your best bet, eurostar to pairs, overnight train to bourg st maurice, bus / taxi up to tignes
Search the lgluski site - use this link and snowheads gets a brucie bonus, or call my pal gavin @ http://skiweekend.com/ , he'll sort you out with something

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

Anywhere with a glacier would be a safe bet, the glacier at Tignes is pretty good although I haven't done it at that particular time of year.
I'm gonna head up to Scotland if there's still snow then though, loads up there at the moment, particularly at Glencoe, and they quite often make it into May, although they sometimes close before the snow has gone because of lack of punters!

I have really got my fingers crossed for this!!
I remember ski-ing on my 21st birthday in Nevis on the 21st of may one year. That was really cool!!

We are open until 5th May and doing spring special offers from £79 for 3 nights catered chalet accommodation. We are in Tignes so you could drive or get train to Bourg.
