British Airways has announced it is increasing flights to two of its popular European ski destinations from Gatwick next winter.
From December 18, flights to Turin in Italy will increase to 10 a week and flights to Salzburg in Austria will increase to five a week, as both cities are popular destinations for ski holidays. The extra return service to Turin will operate on a Sunday and extra return services to Salzburg will operate on Thursday and Saturday...

You can use Avios (the new Airmiles system) with BA and still get the 23 kg allowance and having checked the Avios website there appears decent availability outside of peak dates. Turin is great for Aosta Valley resorts, Courmayeur only an hour and 15 fast drive, Cervinia a good bit longer. Nice little airport that was given a great facelift for 2006 Winter Olympics.

Surely a Saturday service to Turin would be more useful  There was nothing from Heathrow/Gatwick to Turin on a Saturday when I looked last year.

Checking for winter flights to Turin on http://www.ba.com/ it's offering me flights seven days a week. It's just saying that the extra one is on a Sunday, not the only one.
