Anyone else feeling a little strange tonight because of the clocks going forward?
Like it doesn't feel as late as it is?

Dont say the 'C' Word :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :evil: :evil:

I've been with Crystal 3 times and never had a problem at all. I know i have mentioned them in another thread but to be fair it was more to do with the apartment owners than Crystal.

DITTO.

There are some great deals to Arinsal. And as stated Crystal do some deals with all lessons, ski hire and lift passes included. We did this and it was about £600 per person self catering.
The ski school is great and has english speakers, they are mainly aussies and argentinians.

The ski area isn't massive but is plenty for your first week.

Not sure Valmorel has enough to offer me personally.

Me neither. I decided against it.
It looks like a nice resort but i do the most skiing in the family so i want the most out of it.
Just booked for Arc 1800, it will be busy but after copious reading the general opinion is that the lift system handles it well and where won't be busy at new year?

As the 2012/2013 season is almost over and definitely over for many lets start looking forward to 2012/2013. Im booked.

279 sleeps to Les Arcs.

And the moment after i booked i went back to check something and the price had gone up by £350. Either i was just in time or my booking reduced supply and hence up went the price.

Is it a new ski resort in Bulgaria?

They seem to 'pop up' in my inbox every now and again too.

I have to say Crystal are NOT gaining a great reputation for ski holidays.

Would you also include First Choice and Thompson with these as they all seem to come under the umbrella of Tui now or do you find that each operator is still run as a different empire?

We booked with First Choice but had a Crystal rep, in the past we've booked with First Choice and had a First Choice rep.

I find it all quite confusing.

All First choice ski holidays are handled by Crystal but i think first choice have their own reps for their summer hols.
