Very few snowHeads have a good word to say for TOs in general, but as I am forced to go main weeks they are the best option for me. Of the mass market ones, I personally hold Neilsens to be the best. Inghams are good too. I have never had a bad experience with a TO, and yes, I can and do make independent trips too, and have had a bad experience with those.
One might argue, in the current climate with various companies going bust at short notice that an ABTA and ATOL bonded TO is a shrewd choice.

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

long time since I used one, but Ighams used to be ok...as did Mark Warner
But if you insist on cheapest then expect their money not to go quite as far... and gauge them accordingly.
If I paid top dollar then I would expect the full beans, if I have paid peanuts, then I'd just expect their basic remit to work...which would be travel, accom and food if applicable as specified ....

On the more budget end of the spectrum we found Ski World offered good VFM. But obviously ALL packages are going to be relatively expensive at New Year.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'd say with flights being cancelled and flight prices rising, TOs might be a good option.
I've never had a problem wih them. I went with Crystal and they were brilliant - great service, good prices and good comms prior to flying out. Very professional and highly recommended.
Been with www.alpineelements.co.uk too, which were okay, but no on par with the big boys.
Going with www.yseski.co.uk to Val D'isere in December, another small TO - they hjave a good reputation so looking forward to that.
Have a look at the holiday search engines like www.igluski.com, www.skideals.co.uk and www.ifyouski.com for good deals at specific times. Always have good prices there and saves a lot of trawling around, as they seem to include a lot of TOs on their books

I went with Mark Warner a couple of years ago and was very pleased with them indeed. But they aren't the cheapest.

dave_wick, I have only done one with a commercial TO and that was First Choice last year to Alpe d'Huez. No complaints at all, everything was great.

XL valuable lessons..
Pay by Visa credit card
Make sure you have bought insurance as soon as you get the holiday.. probably won't cover cancellation though
Use a tour operator covered by ATOL
And hope to hell they go bust while your out there so you at stuck for a few more days.....
