Q: When is the best time to book my next snow vacation?

A:  Now!!! As soon as you know your schedule and how many people are traveling.  Lodging choices at the snow resorts are not abundant like beach resorts and do sell out quickly.  Also, there are lots of 'early booking' discounts.  Last, if you need to cancel, penalties are minimal with advanced notice; so there's lots to gain and little to lose by planning early.

The staff at Snow Sport Vacations has found the final snow seeking hold-outs; savoring one of the few and last places to make some turns in North America in August.  See them 'tearing it up' on Mt. Hood, Oregon.  Now, would this be the end of snow season 2012-13, or the beginning of snow season 2013-14???
