 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hello hello
Was meant to be going away for a short break to Barcelona with my girlfriend which has been cancelled due to ash.. and was just wondering if anyone had seen any particularly good late deals for a few days skiing? I've never tried to ski this late before, I don't really know what the snow will be like.. useless? I see mountainsun do a deal for 3 days in Tignes, does anyone have any idea what that'll be like? My plan is to drive down (from Kent) anytime from.. tonight/tomorrow really! The usual igluksi etc. don't appear to sell anything other than for next season now.
Any help appreciated, thanks

jackus, the snow is not brilliant but it's reasonable, and there's usually plenty of it. It might be a bit boilerplayte first thing, and slushy after lunch, but it beats being in the office

admin, don't rub it in - everyone here at work is saying "oh I bet you;r glad you didn;t go away now"
what, glad that I didn't get any skiing this season, and am thus not stuck in a ski resort getting in even more skiing?
at which point they look sheepish and sidle off before I explode

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

Definitely stick to the high altitude resorts now, but there is bound to be plenty of good snow next week, and probably some glorious sunshine.
We were in Morzine last week, and by the end of the week you could tell why they were closing the low altitude resorts soon, very very slushy at the bottom, but still great conditions on the higher slopes in PDS.
If I had any more holiday I'd be looking for a last minute deal, there must be loads of last minute spaces in chalets and hotels due to flights being cancelled/delayed. Probably better to drive over than fly though, with the reports of more ash on its way.

Most UK tour ops stopped running trips 2 weeks ago, most of the rest last week. Not sure you;ll find any who are flying out his weekend except to pick up the last batch of returning punters
