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 :-)

The ups and downs of our half-term holiday ANOTHER UPDATE :(

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Due to the credit crunch We started by looking for long weekends, then a - week wednesday to wednesday but nothing came up. We were looking to minimise the amount of out of school for the kids. During one of the enquiries they mentioned that they could take our whole group at half term..... and there is 23 of us Laughing The price, sharing some nice rooms with the kids came in at €280 per head half board Shocked

We are all from North East England and NO single soul wanted to drive; the drive out is not too bad but the return was a no no. Flights from Leeds to Salzburg cane in at between £300-440, the cheaper option going out on a Friday and back on a Sunday. During my quest for flights there arose a strange option of Gatwick to Vienna with Easyjet. We have booked this and the cost of our lovely catered chalet holiday has come in, for half term week, at £570 pp Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Price Breakdown per person

5pm train Darlington - Gatwick 4.25 hrs - using a family railcard - £37 return Shocked
Quad room in Gatwick Airport Travel Inn -£12
Taxis to and from hotel £6
Easyjet Gatwick to Vienna Out Saturday 13th Feb, back Sunday 21st Feb - £110
9 days Car Hire, and fuel - £100
Super catered chalet - £280 based on €1 - £1
Quad room in hotel near Vienna Saturday night - £25

For those interested the Chalet is 10 mins from Schladming in Ramsau am Dachstein

The chalet owners have been most helpful.

Add to this...we can ski for 7 days

yes a bit of a fanny about with a 3.5 hr drive in Austria and a train journey at this end BUT I am one very, very happy bunny

Frosty the Snowman, well done big fella! So including lift pass and ski/boot hire (at your ex rate which is conservative) - £790 pp. Still a darn good deal!

Sorry I couldn't be of assistance this time! I know the place but haven't been in. We contacted the owners a while back but have never met up.

Ramsau is a lovelly little village. It even makes Radstadt look busy.
I'm glad you have gone for the car option though as you will need it at times. There are bus routes down and up to Schladming pretty often but they are a bit of a length!
Ramsau is a cute little area too for a little play.
Plus if you fancy it you can enjoy the 100's of K of x-country !! (like that will happen!)

Well it has all just gone a bit pear shaped for us; Son of Lard has been selected to play rugby for Yorkshire against some low-down Leek Munchers wink on.......... Sunday 15th Feb. Tombalabomba will fly out with the main party but Me, The Boss and the boy are now looking at getting to Gatwick on the Sunday night and flying out on the Monday. 2 days less skiing and about £300 in extra/lost costs. No complaints though snowHead
