DSUK minibus appeal
Please send it to "everyone" you know.
We have a few other ski related organisations that have agreed to support the Appeal by sending out the details to all their members. The details will be added when I get back to Blighty end of March.
Any questions ?, the contact us page sends me a copy of any e mails that you send.

Affordable half term skiing. So easy, even a child can do it.
I don't know why we have to have all the "OMG, I spent £9k for a family of four!" stuff every year. You bunch of mugs. |
He has a point. If you want to take the laziest, most obvious options of course it will look expensive. Think a little bit more creatively and you won't get shafted.
My BiL paid the same to a tour operator to ski patches of snow and eat rotten food in Bulgaria that we did to rent a house and ski powder for a week in the Queyras last season.

There's a few "Easter is late" comments on here. Yes Easter 2011 as a religious holiday is late, but school hols around our way start on 9th April, which is only 7 days later than 2010 Easter school hols - it's not so bad.
The OH is a teacher, but we avoid half term and try to squeeze in a week at Christmas/New Year and a week at Easter.

Absolutely. Our place is south facing, and only 1550m, but we've always been able to ski back (sometimes on rubbish snow, admittedly) till around 22 April when the season closes. There's a lot to be said for sunny, warm, deckchair weather and the odd bit of water-skiing.

February half term we drive down to a small resort in Haute Savoie region, which all in costs us less than £2K for a family of 4 including eating out everyother night.
The accomodation is on the small side for 4, but comfortable, clean and well equipped and 100m from the bubble lift.
