Snowboarding holday 2008. MSE?

Im looking to book a snowboarding holiday for February next year. There should be about 6 of us, and i was wondering if it was possible to do this without breaking the bank? I have been told that Andorra and Bulgaria are two quite cheap countries for boarding.

Does anyone have experience of resorts here?

Is it possible to do an all in deal for around £600 each?

has anyone booked a similar group boarding holiday?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

  • £600 EACH!!!

    I used mytravel.com and went to Livigno (Italy) - Duty free as well so very cheap when you get there it cost me £200 each 7 days for an apartment with kitchen, flighst and transfers. But mytavel.com snow holidays also do bulgeria but ive heard the reports arnt very good at the moment and a bit out dates but i know there trying to improve them

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Froggy, The budget of £600 was to cover equipment, ski pass , food and drink.. which is perhaps why it sounds a lot.

    Ill have a look at the ones you suggested to see if there is a package deal.

    Thanks again

    have a look at www.crystalholidays.co.uk for reasonable packages with good info- if confident use this to organise a d-i-y trip and try apartment websites such as www.holiday-rentals.co.uk as there will be plenty suitable in andorra, france, italy and the likes of slovakia. www.skyscanner.com for flights and dont be too put of bulgaria as if you are going in feb there should be good snow everywhere.

    i priced up flights, accom and car for week in italy (flying into milan in half term) and it came to 160 based on 8! obviously various extras take it higher but you can buy these direct www.ownersdirect.co.uk

    Well the lift pass was about £100 and food and drink was dirt cheap we were paying 5 euro for a main meal. I guess Livigno and Andorra both been duty free will be cheap
