Rather liking the look of the early bash, can finally come on one. Working in a school means plenty of hol, just never when the bash and other trips go away but already know I will be off for this.
Just had a look at flights though and can't find sweet fa to chambery that early in december....I know it's early days but what sort of travel arrangements are likely?

not the foggiest, tried last minute and cheap flights and nothing from any london, or east mids, to chambery before I think weekend of 18th december.
Going to have a peak see when the eurostar starts running.
Could just be that the schedules aren't up and about yet or something. |

| or get the eurostar to paris and change for the tgv to bourg at maurice. it's what i'm thinking of doing. no prices up yet though - i think you can only book 120 or 90 days in advance on tgv so can't see the whole journey yet. |

I've been away that week every year for the last 4 years and there's always been enough snow, you wouldn't describe it as epic snow but more than enough for a good time  Val D is also much higher than any of the resorts I've been to that week so it shouldn't be a problem. |

| 4 years ago I went to Val d'Isere second or third week after it opened, snow was brilliant. Even if it's not as good this year, there is always the glacier so you are guaranteed something (even if it is ice and therefore not easy to stop yourself ploughing into a group of children traversing the slope) |

You make a habit of that Dave!!! 
I have a weeks holiday left before end of year. Unless I can convince the missus to exchange sand and sun for snow and snow it's unlikely. |
