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 :-)

A pat on the back for Rocketski...

My wife sadly died earlier this year, so I've been trying to find holidays (both summer and winter) for myself and my 2 young children, where we do not get stung for under-occupancy supplements.

Most companies seem to charge these when 3 of us share a room together, but Rocketski, with whom we've now booked to go to Saalbach at Xmas, actually gave us a discount for the 3 of us sharing a room. Wow - the total opposite to what I've come to expect with other operators and a breath of fresh air!

I wonder whether any other holiday companies offer similar discounts - it would be useful to know.

PS I actually met my wife while working in Chamonix, so can't wait to take the kids to the snow.

Very good find on your part to get that three-person discount as, like you, I'd always been hit by under-occupancy (on non-ski holidays) when looking for 5 people.

Sad to hear the terrible news of your wife's passing but what a fantastic tribute to her to involve your children in a past time which she obviously enjoyed.

I hope you have a fantastic holiday and a lovely Christmas! Very Happy

stephen buck, so sorry for the loss of your wife, especially with small children Sad

However, well done Rocketski Very Happy I have skied with the other part of the company, Equity, in the past and found them to be very good. Have an excellent holiday with, I'm sure, some lovely memories.

stephen buck, sorry to hear about your wife. I think SkiMiquel offer rooms with discount for children and lower prices for sharers. Enjoy your holiday.

stephen buck, Very sorry to hear about your wife.

Like Anniepen, we have skied with their sister company Equity on a couple of occasions - once in Hotel Reigler in Saalbach. They were very good on the discounting front, I seem to remember we got discounts both times because of sharing a room - once for 4 sharing (both children came) and once for 3 (just son that time).
Saalbach will be magic at Christmas - if they still do it, I would recommend one of the excursions - a night time horse drawn sleighride to a tavern out in the countryside. It was absolutely unforgettable trundling through the snow, wrapped up in a blanket under a velvety star studded sky. My son loved it and I think your children might too.

Thanks, everyone, for the positive responses and the info re Rocketski.

loatie, we are staying at the Hotel Riegler, too, so sounds like it will be good. And will definitely look out for the sleigh ride - sounds fab!

Hells Bells, thanks for the tip about Ski Miguel.

Any more suggestions of other companies who offer such room-sharing discounts most welcome.

I have just booked with Rocketski for the second time (Serre last year and LDA this). I found the accommodation clean and adequate, and the food good. Personally I wouldn't use their skis (OK for kids), but excellent location in Serre, and good customer service.

Have a good holiday with your children, Stephen.
