If you can walk away: then 100% yes. I've considered a timeshare at a ski resort during the popular school vacation week.

The problem is that often you can't walk away. IE, with a vacation home, you can sell it; or otherwise default on the mortgage / taxes. With a timeshare, that's harder.

Personally, I just stay in hotels. So much easier, and the hotel bill is cheaper than whatever monthly payment the timeshare / vacation home is.

Also that sort of specific time is an issue for this type of arrangement. Because large share of participants would want the same time. Which unless they share the places during stay...

In the end just buying it piece meal is most likely best option.

That one week is super popular, all the other weeks are dirt cheap
