Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Booking Late Deal - Need Advice

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hello to all.

Going skiing again on the 11th April but haven't booked anything. We usually book everything individually but there are only two of us this time so its working out cheaper for us to do a package. We have been looking at the First Choice website and they seem to offer the best deals. However, deals for skiing next week, 28th march are very good, but for the 11th of april, the exact same deal, to same resort, same accomomadtion is nearly twice as expensive. I know that this is because next week is immenent so they are trying to sell off these holidays.

So, my question is basically this. Does anyone know from there own experience whether i can expect the holidays on my desired day of the 11th of april to become cheaper as the day gets nearer? I could book it now but when i see how much it would cost me for next week i feel like im getting a bad deal, even though its not. Also, the holidays for next week decreased by £100 overnight, from yesterday to today.

So thats my query, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It depends whether you want to be sure of your resort and accomm or you're happy to take anything at the last minute...

As you get closer the prices drop futher but availability gets less...

When the price of your chosen holiday gets to the price you're happy to pay.. book it... and then stop looking..

bodhi, As above, the reason 11/4 is not coming down is not really because it's a few weeks off, but because it's Easter. The snow is so good, that people who simply couldn't find anything for the manic half term week, but are tied to school holidays, are now looking for weeks of 4/4 and 11/4 - very busy, very popular Very Happy

bodhi, I've been late booking for a couple of years now and this year I'm stuck to the Easter hols. There isn't as much out there as i thought there would be. Find something you like the look of and get hold of it. Neilson have some decent offers on at the mo. Good luck

www.yseski.com - amazing company and Val D'isere is just stunning

Otherwise, just go onto www.ifyouski.com or www.crystalskizone.com - booked through the latter for ADH on this coming Saturday and got it £200 cheaper than brochure each for four of us. Speak to Fritz and he'll sort you Smile

bertie bassett, Easter Sunday is 12th April, but many schools are breaking up on 3rd so the next two weeks are busy in ski resorts

WayneC has said the most important thing - once you've booked it, stop looking! Just be happy with the deal you've got. Smile
