Hey!
Really depends on what you want/expect to get out of the week, is it just skiing technique you would like to work on or
a mix of skills including things like avalanche safety, touring etc.
Cheers

Madmonk, Do you want instruction, or guiding ? Snoworks or Mountain Tracks good places to start. Do you mean backcountry - i.e. walking/skinning as well as skiiing, or do you mean using lifts to access soft snow ?

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Madmonk, this sounds like it's what you're looking for?

Course in Chamonix 2nd-7th March. Fly out 1st March (Sunday) fly back 8th March (Sunday). Run by BASS Chamonix i.e Derek & Shona Tate.
That would be ideal for what you said, brilliant place to do it in, date fits in with what you said and also the people on their team are ISTD/BASI Trainers so the tuition you will get will be top notch.
This tells you what else they've got on which might suit.
