For a thousand Pounds, you could buy a skidoo and take the family up the hill in style.
And then resell it after.

surfstar, leave the kids at home. They probably don't really appreciate it anyway.

Does anyone know where i can get the 2011/2012 price list for Les Arcs and Paradiski?
|
do you mean 2010/11? Our area has had prices for next season out for a while. Season lift pass, bought before 1 December, 367 euros.

Tomo54, Last season, Les Arcs had a weeks promo in Early March where they had a big discount if the pass was bought online. However there was little noitce of this beforehand. Its worth checking their website often to see if they do the same again this year.
But guessing it will only be for low season dates

they also did a nice April promo when I lived their offering free ski lessons & rentals to kids for an entire week- said conditions applied, but my daughter was on spring break that week and we were able to enroll her (without purchasing additional lodging, tickets or anything else) this was on their website so it does pay to look

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

This is the reason we have started going to smaller resorts with cheaper lift passes even though les arcs is a great resort. I'm sure lift passes are at least 50% more expensive than 10 yrs ago.
Is there any chance the £ will rise against the euro pre ski season?

Also remember that the one week Paradiski ski pass now allows you to use one of the days for free skiing in The Three Valleys and visa versa.

You know it makes sense.

When I started 8 years ago, I think I paid £120 for a week. Same resort end of last season £175 - not one of the "mega" resorts.

Crispyapplepie, welcome to snowHeads 
I think the exchange rate has probably made much of the difference - I think we all got rather used to the benefits that a favourable exchange rate afforded us.
I like the idea of a points system that one can carry forward to another season. Always assuming one is happy to return to the same place - and many are, of course.

I think its a disgrace what they charge for a lift pass...but come on £200 average for a adult pass
|
Less than £5 an hour for a liftpass doesn't strike me as a disgrace. As mentioned above, the state of the £ is the problem.
Wait until you see the cost of lift passes in Canada and the USA if you want a real eyewatering experience. We went to Fernie last season and it was £50 a day  with no multiple day discounts...

£50 is an expensive lift pass....but you must admit Fernie on the right day is a great place to be!
