    If anyone has any other skiing trips for around the same price or less :-) willing to hear all good offers.
    Thanks A lot and look forward hearing from you.

    Dave

    that's a good price, inghams have a square deal for £1,215 and that's allocation upon arrival - probably levi or yllas (which is much more northerly than ruka

    last min don't have anything up yet but they may have soon, they tend to be cheaper than going with the deals on inghams or crystalski - are you set on going to ruka?

  • Hi we are a family of two adults and four kids aged from 13 to 9. we intend flying fom Derry/Londonderry or belfast airport to alicante around the 29th June 2009 for two weeks. Was wondering would you recommend a villa from owners direct or what would be the cheapest way . thinking of Alicante. Quotes from t.a have been from 2,200 self catering taking 2 seperate apartments, which i am not keen to do up to 2,900. Can anyone recommend anything more reasonable our dates and venue are very flexible. Thanks.
