Hi Vic,

Good to see you're still with us

Just checked prices for Feb (lowest price page on igluski):

11-18th £916+ (Half term week)
18-25th £500-649
25th-3rd Mar £610-721

I'll recheck tomorrow and see if the prices change

No mention on that site about single person supplements, all prices "per person" Though if there are any voyeurs out there, do feel free to join in - more the merrier

When do you two think we should book by, or should we agree a price and book once it's met? Whilst last minute is great for knowing the snow conditions, I'm keen not to miss out and would prefer to end up closer than a bus ride from the pistes...

Matt

The thread went cold, so I'm going solo... The other two may still be interested though.

Can I ask where your going and what price you got?

Wierd the way it died off - looked liked you were off to check prices 2 weeks ago and just never came back to it!

Didn't hear anything from Vic or Kev and the prices didn't change, have started rising now. They wanted to go a week or two later too, from what I gathered...

Booked a week of guided off piste in Les Arcs 18th Feb. £900 all in: 6.5 day lift pass, flights, accomm, transfers, hire, all meals (even lunch), 4.5 days with the guide... Just need to take beer money Staying at the UCPA - http://www.ucpa-vacances.com/download/fstore/site/arc1600/visite-virtuelle/arc1600/index.html - I've been with UCPA before and the centres are nicer than some chalets I've stayed in.

Gotta feed my powder habit

UCPA's Chamonix deal is pretty good @ about £580 all inclusive.

I am lookin at UCPA Flaine for 25th Feb. I don't think the £580 included flights or transfers. And I think the UCPA Transfers if you choose them are Coach from London. Just something to bear in mind.

Did the UCPA in Flaine a couple of years ago, had a BRILLIANT time in the off piste group... The centre used to be a Club Med before they bought it, right on the slopes and they've got a truly awesome central fireplace in the bar to sit around... I'd highly recommend it, even if the town is a little quiet on the nightlife front.

Yeah, flights&transfers/coach are extra.

Have fun
