Anyone come across any deals?

Well you are very lucky Pablo :D

Fancy getting time off just when the snow is good and prices are cheap :roll:.

We are stuck with going during Feb half-term when the slopes are busiest and the prices are highest :cry:

How long have you got left at Uni?

I am sure we have had this discussion before but no one is stuck with going during Feb half time.....????

This year and 2 more. Might take a couple years to ski then go back for a Masters or something, see how everything pans out 8)

Just flicking through teletex & monstertravel.co.uk have some good deals on at the moment. Especially to Banff.

Re ski deals, no 2 son just bought a pair of used K2 Apache on ebay, c/w Salamon bindings, £89. Bases and edges had been reconned ad as new, and all waxed up.

Pablo,
How come you've still got this year left and then another 2 to go? I thought all Bachelor degrees were 3 years long, unless you had a year out in industry or somewhere? I thought you were in Uni last year?
If you then get a couple of years in which to go ski-ing, I will die of jealousy :mrgreen:

Tony,
Unfortunately I am 'stuck' with ski-ing Feb half-term until my younger daughter leaves school (just under 2 years time). She can't miss school time during the term, and Christmas we have family and holidaymaker obligations, as is also the case with Easter. When she was younger we used to go the first week of Jan after the kids go back to school, and it was about half-price then, but now her school work is too important to her future career for her to miss anything.

At least we have proved now that we can also ski at Oct half-term, on a glacier.

Dave Mac,
Those skis sound like a real bargain.

just booked 1 week skiing for a family of four flying out boxing day from manchester to genoble, staying in st sorlin d'arves £299 each slef catering. dont expect the accomodation to be up to much but hey you only sleep and wash in there. the company i booked with was fast track ski, the deal was £90 more expensive on their website, I telephoned them and asked what the best deals were.

Most honours degree in Scotland are 4 years long. No year in industry although there is a 3rd year placement which takes place during the summer. Not essential but recommended. I will get a couple of years to go skiing unless I pick up an extremely well paying graduate post :wink:
