    Hi I was looking to go sking in Austria (present for boyfriend) but not until Nov/Dec 2012 as I need to save. Could anyone please inform me of any deals/offers/agencies that they are aware that are reliable and good value.

    Save your money up and start looking at deals closer the time. Alot of European resorts had to open late this year as the snow was poor, could be the same or opposite next Nov/Dec.

    Look at going somewhere that has a glacier to guarantee skiing that early in the season.

    Thanks guys! I'll have another look and thanks for your suggestion Rew but I wanted to give it to my boyfriend as a gift and would have liked to present him with the criteria and proof of purchase.

    I know where your coming from but personally I wouldn't take the risk that the travel agent might go out of biz or that the snow wouldn't come. You can mitigate the snow with a glacier maybe buy on a credit card to have some protection if the travel agent went bust?

    Book about 6 weeks in advance checking conditions before hand. As this year proved December is not reliable but conditions can change so quickly!

    Direckt ski are pretty good. Especially at last minute as ar eCrystal if you are flexible.
