markandjayne, if you have no luck with 1950, I may be able to help in 1600. Drop me a line if this may work for you.

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

markandjayne, there are a couple of 1950 owners on here, but not sure if they rent them out, have you tried booking through Erna Low?

markandjayne, I would give them a ring, they probably do, but just haven't got them online. Lots of the apartments are leaseback so may not be available from the owners. I assume you have looked on Chalets Direct, Holiday Lettings and Owners Direct?

markandjayne, I booked direct with Radisson via the official Arc 1950 site on 30 June last year (for 12th - 17th January 09), although from memory I don't think Erna Low would have been much/any more expensive than booking direct with Radisson if it hadn't been for the fact that we were booking for part of a week. They may even have been cheaper for a whole week, I can't remember.

markandjayne,
1950 prices aren't 'officially' announced yet, although I expect them to come out fairly soon - I know they have been prepared. . Can you go a week earlier, or are you constrained by 1/2 term? Easter week (3 - 10th April) is also high season, but about 10% cheaper if that is an option.
Best options as above: either direct or through Erna Low - there are owners who rent themselves, as Helen B says, but they are private deals, and are likely to be already in the pipeline with 'repeat' business. Most of us are on leasebacks through Radisson/Intrawest

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

As Jim says not many owners rent direct. However I've seen the odd advert on owners direct.
Presume that you have checked out prices with the big TO (Crystal, Thomson etc). The 2009-10 brochures list 1950 accomodation & I wonder whether their purchasing power translates into lower prices than if booking direct with Radisson?

markandjayne, As has been said I think you will find 1950 sells out in the peak weeks. Others might disagree but I would probably try and avoid 1950 in that week, we have been in 1800 for half term week for the last two years and have had friends staying in 1950. The infrastructure does seem to struggle to cope in peak times particularly in the hire shop, ski lesson and restaurant areas, we went over last year to join are friends for a meal and ended up eating at 11.30pm (table booked for 9.30) the second time we could not even book anywhere.
