Just been made redundant - need a cheap ski holiday

As the title says, I have just been made redundant. I only got back from Boro on Saturday but whilst I knew I was on redundancy warning I did not think it would happen this quickly.

Now due to the nature of my job I am now on 1 months gardening leave. I don't like gardening much so I think another ski holiday maybe in order.

I need a cheap ski holiday leaving on the first weekend of April (this way I can find another job before I go!). Can anyone recommend a good place to get a cheap holiday for 1 person. Would prefer Boro but not too fussy!

Any help would be appreciated!

I just tried booking a holiday on their web site for 4th April and 11th April and was offered a good choice to Boro. I didn't go as far as paying - maybe it would have referred me to the office if I had.

Borogirl, trust me Balkan advertise the holidays but once you try booking it turns out all flights finish end of March, I can't get anywhere with them in BG after 29th, I too have the week of 4th April booked off for a snow holiday, I wanted Bansko but looks like Italy or Austria for me.

That's a shame, Snik, as the snow/skiing looks great for a good few weeks yet.

Can't you go independently Question Very Happy

£230 just for the return flight to Sofia from Gatwick, not worth the risk at that price, doesn't make sense when cheap deals are a coming up for European resorts with excellent snow cover from my local airport, shame as I fancied Bansko. Sad
