So who's going skiing 2013 and where?

[S10 GTA]

Anybody booked their skiing holiday for next season yet?

We have been inundated with bookings so far, long may it continue

[Whoozit]

What a question. Whistler, of course I agreed with the Whoozette over dinner that we're going on Boxing day for 10+ days . . .

Streetrod! Will you be there?

ETA: Oh, and we've been invited to Are for Feb half term. It would be rude to refuse.

[VEX]

Morillon, first time for the kids so looks a great place for them to play and learn and for us to get our legs back.

Feb Half Term

Can't wait!!!!!!!

[Silver993tt]

We always wait until 2 weeks before the date we want to go and always get a great deal, often 50% off the price advertised a few weeks/months earlier. Never fails

[flyingjase]

Booked Val D'Isere for January, first ever 2 week ski trip so can't wait....

[Ranger 6]

Back to La Clusaz again with the family and planning a Vallee Blanche trip with a friend - we're both 50 next year

Any Chamonix guide recommendations? Have heard Rob Jarvis - http://www.highmountainguides.com is good.

Verbier hopefully....I left my boots and skis at a mates place there in 2010 so I hope they're still there! Birth of my daughter stopped skiing two winters ago and pneumonia this winter.....I am desperate to get back to the mountains.

I work for a company that specialises in arranging skiweekends and weeks, by coach. We also do weekends by flight. I don't want to get banned by posting a link, but you can PM me if you struggle to find us on the web

Managing 25 days in chamonix next season. 1st week beginning in December back in Jan , Feb and then again in March.

Taking Mrs & Family to Dominican on Monday so brownie points are mega high, will cash these in with a ski trip with the lads in Jan/Feb.

I've done Austria for last 5 seasons so may try somewhere else. I like the idea of somewhere like Grindelwald with mega mountain views. Anyone been to Grindel, Wegen or Interlaken? If so, what's it like? Expensive? Good skiing? Nice place?

Hoping to better the 6 weeks we managed last year, seriously considering staying out for a season, I may just have to wait until the youngster decides if he wants to do some race training.

Lovely place. Wengen is gorgeous with fantastic scenery. Skiing good too. Only slight, and it is slight is that i found i spent a lot of time on lifts/trains compared to other places when we went. But would definitely go back.

Can anyone recommend a good resort in North America - East Coast or West Coast for late March 2013?

We've done last 3 years teaching the kids in Europe, had my fill of that. We'll need a family friendly resort, zero/short transfer to the slopes, somewhere where we can get good tuition. Youngest sprog will be almost 6 by then, with a years introduction.

I may be biased , but Whistler ticks all the boxes for your spec. Very much so, in fact. March is a great time of year to be in Whistler. Usually decent weather, warming up so the odd apres session outdoors is feasible.

I was there for a week mid March this year and had fresh powder 3 of 6 days. Conditions were so great that it was only the second or third day last season that Powder Mountain Snowcats had opened their crown jewel, The Big Kahuna. Imagine a slope maybe 3/4 of a mile long, with a consistent 30 degree incline, and little trees and rollers to play with. Now add 20-30 cms of fresh.

[Powerrr]

Hopefully Mayrhofen !

Has anyone here done the Snowbombing festival before?

[marcosgt]

Me - I'd like to go to Colorado again, but too early to say.

Les Gets for 4 days over New Year with a couple of mates. Our partners have given us a pass to go without them - I am sure that is going to cost us in the long run!

Will book for half term week later in the year but expect it will be the PDS region again.
