 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there,
I'm sure someone will know the answer to this ..... (no pressure now)....
Some website produces a nice concise list of when the schools shut in the major EU countries that would then move those kids onto the slopes ... i.e. the times at which a normal sane adult would not wish to be there as well
... can anyone enlighten me as to where one would find such a list
.. or can anyone provide details of when the school holidays are scheduled for this coming season
and i'll start with the easyone - French holidays:
Hiver Spring 2005
ZONE A 18/02 - 06/03
ZONE B 11/02 - 27/02
ZONE C 04/02 - 20/02

Frosty the Snowman, have managed to avoid the first part of the above as yet, but the other half has just started with the teaching profession so that will reduce the ability to take a sneaky ski break outside of school holidays to virtually nothing (except the popular Irish ski week around St. Patricks Day of course !)

doogo, do as I do: one week with partner who teaches, plus several other trips outside of school holidays with others or on your own.

Slightly off topic -
How do visitor numbers to US resorts change during/outside school holidays? Is it like Europe where the number of visitors seems to treble during the winter half-term?

I was in Jackson Hole over New Year many years back, it was supposedly busy, but it was quiet in European terms, very little queueing if any!
