Actually, Colpam, for our 10th Feb flight this year we paid on the 30th March last year which is actually over 11 months before, but I suspect we didn't get the best prices. I wondered whether we could book it earlier this year, and get the lowest prices

We had settled on first week of April as schools not out that early next easter but unis are... Then I realized what if it's not heavy snow that late like this year? Or is there guaranteed snow at high altitudes in some places even in April?
Alternative would be to go first week in jan but I have heard it can be serious cold then.....
What would you do given the choice?
Would like to book ASAP really.
I wouldnt gamble on early April for an early booking.
January is my favourite time to go: often cold and sunny but pretty much guaranteed snow almost anywhere.
I've had -25c in December in Val Thorens, and -17c in Serre Chevalier in March so the temp shouldnt be an issue for you, expect cold and layer up, so you can take off if it warms up.
Jan is deathly quiet, if you pick the right resorts of course, and the bonus is its cheap as well.
As has been mentioned, some good 241 lift pass deals which are worth between £100 and £150 depending on where you want to go.

If so, look harder as you can find catered chalets in VT for £500 inc flight and transfers
