The_Mac_Daddy, www.silverski.co.uk have an offer on dept 19th December return 26th December £399 catered chalet board (ex Gatwick) . Silver Ski are running strange dates over xmas. The resorts are La Plagne (huge choice of nice chalets, snowheads would love you to go to chalet Maxine and supply us with a report of the "goings on") Courchevel (la Tania & La Praz), Meribel, Reberty 2000. Good company.
Edit- All should have snow with La Tania & La Praz by far the lowest, but they both have excellent gondola uplift to higher slopes

Zillertal valley (Mayrhofen etc) - with Hintertux glacier as stand-by if no low level snow.

How many of you are there in your group? We have availability in our chalet in Alpe D'Huez which has a good record for christmas snow. Holiday would be from 20th-27th December. With the snowheads discount we could probably get close to your budget. Our prices include flights as well so not sure whether that is factored into your buget. Have a look at our website anyway www.skialacarte.co.uk and get in touch with me if you are interested.

The_Mac_Daddy, I would agree with Frosty the Snowman, I have spent the last 2 xmas's in La Plagne, and the conditions were great. You're relatively snow sure with the lowest of the main villages at 1800m, and there is always the glacier if there is a shortage

The_Mac_Daddy, you could try La Rosiere, always IME good snow at Xmas. I know one of the local hotels Le Relais de Petit San Bernard has rooms available over Xmas. The skiing is good, a mix of France and Italy, the lift pass is great value, the village is very friendly and welcoming.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the replies. It's only the 2 of us (me and the mrs) and unfortunately the Mrs has difficulty getting time off work and doesn't break up for xmas until 23rd, so we'd be looking to travel on 24th dec which is why I'm struggling to find stuff. Maybe I'd be better off waiting until last minute, hope for a cancellation?

Now Mac_Daddy, you don't want to spend 600 quids and then find there is no snow, now do you?
No, you want certainty, and with all this warm air wafting in from godknowswhere, then snow at Christmas is a big big gamble.
I suggest you try one of these:
Greenland
Alaska
Siberia
or The North Pole and make Santa a nice cup of tea when he gets back from his long night delivering presents.

Hi The_Mac_Daddy, we run a chalet in the southern French Alps (which has a good early season snow record, even last year when a lot of places were struggling at Christmas).
Our change-over day this year is Saturday (24th) so would fit right in with your plans. The price is £400pp for chalet board and we offer free transfers from Nice airport (2hrs 15m). There's a 5% discount for snowHeads and another 5% goes to the site to help keep it running.
EasyJet currently have return flights from Gatwick for £142.71 inc tax which brings you in well under budget.
For more details, take a look at our website www.chalet-ski.co.uk.

The_Mac_Daddy, I could offer you some s/c accomm in my apartment in Les Deux Alpes from 23 Dec to 3 Jan or any days between. Sleeps 4, opposite lifts, most skiing above 2100m anyway, so even if theres little around 1650m (resort level) you're guaranteed extensive terrain. Cheap flights with ryanair to Grenoble at the moment (29p each way plus tax early dec when I'm going!!). Plenty of restaurants to choose from so you could have a reasonably cheap week. Some pictures and other stuff at www.alpine-hideout.co.uk if you're interested. Plus on the lift pass you get a free day in ADH/Serre Chevalier if you want a bit more variety. What more could you possibly want??!!
