 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've decided on three trips, two last minute cheapies in December and January to 3Vs and Nendaz (after recommendation of David Snell) and expensive February half term trip to Arabba.
Where are you all going?
Let's look forward to the skiing in 08/09 season.

Lou, have you got a Tesco clubcard visa card? I put everything possible through mine (including all the shopping I do in Waitrose!), and it adds up to lots of points.

I have booked to go to Tignes in December for 2 weeks, one of those weeks is a course though, also Meribel and St Anton in January are booked already for 1 week each, plus the Snowheads Birthday Bash for 1 week end of January dependent on where it is going to be. If it's Ischgl then it's a definite for me. 
Have got some more stuff planned sort of at the moment for March and April but not booked yet, will leave it until nearer the time and might have a couple of late deals depending on where the snow is. I will go to the EoSB to Val Thorens as well hopefully all being well. Hope the snow is good next year, I'm hoping to get loads of skiing done next season!

Not decided yet, but my general plan is...
the birthday bash and/or MSB, plus 2-3 (long?) weekends somewhere easily drivable (ie Zell am Ziller / Wengen). Wouldn't mind a week in Les Gets / Avoriaz again. Also wanted to get on a week of tuition somewhere possibly this side of christmas, but gonna be tricky fitting it all in since I'm using 3 weeks out of 6 for a summer vacation

Spending my 3rd winter in the Niseko area (first time I've spent three consecutive winters working at the same resort).
This past winter I visited 7 other resorts on the island of Hokkaido.
This coming winter I hope to revisit these and add another 6-10 resorts. Roll on November.

Thinking of La Clusaz - just finalising numbers. Looks a nice resort, with a good range of skiing for us and only an hour transfer

My skiing CV is rather weak in Swiss resorts so am planning to go to Chur to pocket Films, Arosa, Davo, St Moritz and do a day trip to the Italian Livigno. May have to move camp three times for a two week trip.

Going to be in Flumserberg for quite a few weeks next winter. Will ski there and other swiss places, probably Laax but also the smaller places. Want to revisit friends and ski in La Toussuire and Morzine.

Thought there was already a post on this but here we go anyway:-
December - Tignes, long weekend, Mountain Sun/Snowheads
January - Weeks tuition somewhere, probably Alpine Coaching in Mayrhofen
February - Half term week in Zermatt with my daughter
March - perhaps a weekend with a couple of mates
April - Ten days in LDA with my daughter (and her mum, my ex too)
I'm getting really worried the list gets longer every year. (2005 - 10 days skiing, 2006 - 18, 2007 - 22, 2008 - 22, 2008/9 - 30?)

I'd be more worried if they were getting shorter - let your bank manager worry about them getting longer

Dec - 2 weeks in Whistler not yet booked because I'm trying to convince a friend to come along so I don't have to go by myself.
Jan - 1 week in France, probably 3V. Maybe try and find a last minute chalet deal.
Mar - 2 weeks somewhere in North America.

not actually booked anything yet as have been waiting to see exactly who's coming, on the other thread you mentioned some private owners you know with small apartments, we may end up needing a couple of small places rather than 1 larger so if you have any contact details a pm would be appreciated!
thanks

Anyone with some advice please, missed out on the Diva at Tignes for New Year. Trying to find somewhere with family rooms/suites ie cheap kids places for 2 adults 2 kidz.
Options seem to be Chalet Piccard in Plagne 1800, Hotel Le Totem in Flaine, the Hotel Viking in Morzine (been there, I know its at the top of a cable car) and one of a couple of hotels in Alpbach (thru Inghams). Everything else is a bit too dear.
Any reccomendations?

Haven't decided yet - most likely Austria in Jan and then (hopefully) Tignes in April.
At the moment I'm thinking Obertauren/Saalbach or Zell am See

Not booked yet but planning on our usual model:
Short break in Ski Amade in Jan
Week in own place in Zell in March
with an unusual addition (for us at least), which is potentially one bash (would be our first!), depending on the when and where questions.
Plus a weekend or two in Scotland if conditions are inviting and petrol doesn't become a mortgage-worthy expense...
