£145 is only from Belfast so no good for me, but for the Norn Iron skiers...

looked on www.skideals.co.uk and they had trips to ADH, La Plagne and Val T for £169 in catered chalets for the week - wish the missus had the time off and we'd be there like a shot!!

WayneC, did you notice what day and time the 20th Dec departures first appeared? I'm just trying to gauge how late I need to leave it to pick up a bargain in early Jan.

That just shouldn't be legal - you just shouldn't be able to get the amount of snow about now for that little.

Prices were coming down all week. I had email from Crystal on 17th saying prices were from £249 pp. On 18th, I looked online and, it was about £200 and on 19th, when I posted, £149...
You would have to have lot of nerve to hold until the day before, but if you don't mind where you go and you have your bags packed...
I had booked the leave early on but then cancelled with the high early prices, I'm wishing I'd held my nerve.... so now I've got a week in VT booked for the 10th, and I've paid more for flights than I could have got christmas chalet caterered with those last minute deals...

WayneC, sorry to hear you missed out.
I bagged one yesterday for £217 for Jan 3rd, chalet in Canazei on the Sella Ronda in Italy and pre-booked lift passes at a 'subsidized' €1.20=£1 exchange rate.
I didn't have the nerve to hang on til the day before. I did it once, best deal I've ever had, £119 for a 4* chalet in Belle Plagne in '03.
But this time I really wanted to go back to the Sella Ronda. I noticed that some of the rooms were disappearing while I was pondering it, so I jumped. At well under half price it's a good deal! And very little to have to spend € on once we're there!

WayneC, there'll be more bargains, the Beeb said on the news today that March bookings were looking bare at the moment. I'll set a date in stone and then only book 2-3 weeks before departure. I bet a lot of people are doing the same.
