Me too! :?

Best price so far is with skicab.com but I'm still researching. Also looking at car hire but am getting very confused.com!

I'm a Lincolnshire Yellow Belly , live in Nottinghamshire but Sheffield is my nearest city. I also spend a lot of time in Norfolk but could probably do Castleford at a weekend in November!

Is the BSC starting up in St Gervais or Megeve?

Yes... have a look at http://www.bassmegeve.com/

We had a great time in St. Gervais in January & are going back for Christmas (hope it's not too early for the snow).

Don't recall Jan 2006 as being too bad, Jan 2007 was poor.

Sorry Dave Mac - you're right 2007 was the poor year.

Thanks for all your replies - I'm liking the idea of Christmas skiing more & more. This is especially in view of the alternative, which involves a borrowed house, in-laws & lots of relatives we hardly know (& no skiing obviously)! Watch this space :D

Hello - it's been ages since I've posted on here - have just spent the last couple of evenings catching up on postings going back several months! I'll try to keep up now, I promise.

We have a dilemma this year about when to ski. Small person is no longer at junior school so we were thinking about possibly skiing over Christmas (but not New Year). Last season we had a fantastic time in St. Gervais & would happily go back there as we could meet up with relatives who live in the area. Flights & accommodation have been sourced at a reasonable cost, but will I find it so hideously busy that we'll wish we'd stayed at home? I'm led to believe that New Year is much busier. We were very spoilt last year as the last 2 weeks of January were very quiet. Half term doesn't appeal at all, so that isn't an option.

I know that the snow over Christmas is much less reliable - & memories of green ski slopes in mid January 2006 still haunt me! Any advice would be very welcome.

Btw - I live near Sheffield as well :)

Stayed in Samoens in January last year & had a great time - loved the area - particularly the village itself. If you want to look at some photos I've put some on Picasa at:

http://picasaweb.google.com/Jimandsal/SamoensWebAlbum# There are lots of others on the usual photo sharing websites which will give you a feel for the place. Have a great time. I've just booked our summer holiday, but am still pining for the snow :roll:

I had chicken pox when I was 8 years old - with a full leg plaster cast on at the same time & I can still remember how awful the itching was - & no means of scratching!! Get well soon Rose.
