Bright Activity

The English financial system initially began to grind to a halt many months ago and it doesn’t appear likely to restart shortly. This, coupled with the unbelievable value of the Pound versus the Euro, and your annual ski trip commences to appear like more of a luxury than usual.

This year holidaymakers have been returning back from their Christmas and New Year holidays in Chamonix Mt Blanc with tales about the grand snow conditions and the steep prices in resorts with prices increased by 30 percent compared to the same period last year. The more cheering tidings is that there are more cheaper skiing breaks on offer, which in a lot of instances are canceling out the gain in prices in the skiing resorts. None the less the time has come to be budget aware. Fortunately we’ve compiled a top 5 list to saving on this winter’s snowboarding trip.

1. Shop in the valley instead of the ski resort if you’re on a self catered holiday
2. Pay in pounds – book with operators who have kept their prices in pounds and not shifted to Euros
3. Take sandwiches with you and stay out of the mountain restaurants
4. Go self catering
5. Pre Book Ski Gear online for good savings
