    I am organising a package ski trip for 8-10 people in Feb or March. Has anyone come across any excellent deals in Sitzerland/Austria/France.

    The most important aspect for me is that there is good skiing, I'm not overly concerned with the apres ski.

    directski.com usually have a bundle of deals around this time. I've booked 4 different years with them. This year they were far cheaper than the DIY option. Accomodation can be sketchy though, but if your just looking for a clean and cheap apartment, you'll find great deals on their site. Plenty of resorts to chose from, but do your research on them first!

    Myself and my brother had booked flights into Munich, but we are thinking of ditching the tickets and going with a Half board package with the likes of direct ski/Crystal ski. Also a colleague in work has offered me a lend of his board and bindings for the week, so If we do go with a package, is equipment travel included with these guys, and what kind of weight restrictions would there be? It would be 2 boards and bindings, and 1 set boots. The guy in work said he never had to pay for getting his gear over with crystal but I don't know about topflight/directski, which seem to have the better prices for the dates we are going...

    Just back from a week there in Chamonix with directski. A mate of mine brought over a board and paid an extra 25 bucks with directski online as extra carriage cause he had a main bag as well. However when we got to the airport there were plenty of other people who packed their board bags with clothes etc and used this as their main bag so they didn't pay the extra fee. They didn't weigh them either.Plus you can bring on the usual sized hand luggage on board so should have plenty of space.
