Thats excellent value if theres snow that is. How do they make money on that? Im wondering now if I should of waited till the last minute to book my holiday at the start of Jan! Lets hope the cheap ski holidays last a while longer!

As for where to look, try Inghams/Neilson/Crystal etc websites as they have special deals. Also try bookableski.co.uk, directski.com, catered-ski-chalets.co.uk, skiworld.co.uk, rocketski.co.uk, skideals.co.uk, snowdeals.co.uk and teletext holidays. You will find something. Dont worry about the doom and gloom of the economic climate - there will be as many ski flights as last year, if not more. Dont forget you can also book easyjet and ryanair, although these dont work out the cheap bargains we used to find. BA do good priced flights too. XL Airways going wont affect the ski flights really, they were only chartered to fly when other airlines became fully booked, and Thomson/First Choice have now merged, so there are more planes available this season between the group for ski flights.

Good luck!!

Im just putting all of them on my favourites and will prob try that for Feb. Suppose you have the benefit from looking at the web cams as well to make sure theres snow which always helps.

3 Vallees start of Jan for a week and supposed to be going with a group at the start of March to Arraba. God knows if Arraba will come off with friends but g/friend and me will go no matter what.

Would love to find a real cheap 1 for myself as g/friend says she dont mind me going on me own in Feb!! Any ideas for Feb and cheap or any1 else going then?

Got ages to wait yet so its Kendal dry slope for now.

Girlfriend an myself went here in May. Took us 4 to 5 hrs also. We can take them back up to a year afterwards incase they hurt our feet anywhere and he will take care of it.

Seems a shame to spend a fortune on a skiing holiday and then not bother with the boots which can make or break a holiday. As for a budget just let him know what the budget is, he can only say no way!

This Friday and Sat taking the level 1 course so I can teacher new skiers on artificial slopes. After this I have to do 20hrs training under the guidance of a mentor.

Has anyone on here done this course and what should I expect?

Sky + it. Didnt look to good when the daughter injected herself in the toe as all the veins had collapsed and the mothers house being turned over by the daughters boyfriend.

Was on the coach to Port Vale yesterday and one suppoeter had powder on his nose (im sure it wasnt talc) and he was totally wrecked singing NF songs :x in front of kids. It all ended in tears!

Morecambe lost!

On a happier note Im getting some New salopettes and jacket soon, dont know if I should wait for the sales or what to get!
