Half Term Ski Holiday

Next year the ski half term week will fall once again over two weeks rather than the one (12th February and 19th February 2011), as was the case this year. Normally the public schools week is different to the private schools half term break, but those that took their annual family ski week during the half term in France or parts of Switzerland, will have experienced unprecedented demand which reflected both private and public schools electing for the same half term window! Further compounding the problem was that it corresponded with the largest canton in France taking the same week, as well as regions in and around Geneva!

Fair play to most resorts and ski schools for coping very will with the half term ski demand and making this week a great success. Nevertheless, avoiding a repeat next year is of course a very welcome redress!
