Just found out i have 10 holiday days. Where is good for skiing this time of year for around £350?

Price to include flights, accomodation, ski pass and ski hire

The alps aren't bad this year actually. Don't know if you could do it nicely on a budget of just £350 though

*** alps were nice, before Christmas. But there has not been reasonable snowfalls since mid December. The last 3 weeks have been spring like with temperature records breaking.

I think Turkey and Greece have much better options at the moment.

I have a long weekend booked to grindlewald- set to rain all weekend. I'm not sure if its worth the fuel money to go there right now.

Jebus, i got lucky then. I went in very early January, and we had bucket loads of snow.

early january had the left over snow from December. On piste conditions would have been good, off-piste was skiied out, out of bounds were wind blown and crusty. Conditions were still wintery until the end of the month, since then its been summer. Last weekend I went in my shorts and t-short ot the lake (leman) and sun bathed. I still had a fun ski tour open the sunday but was passing out with the heat. It hit 16 degrees at 2000m!
