Ways to save Pennies during Your Ski Trips
February 5, 2009, 7:28 amThe British financial system initially began to slow down many weeks ago and it does not seem destined to restart in the foreseeable future. The economic slowdown, coupled with the historical value of the sterling compared to the euro, and your annual skiing break gets to appear like a lot more of a treat than customary.
Skiers have returned back from the Christmas and New Year holidays in the French Alps with reports about the fine ski conditions as well as the extortionate expenses in mountain resorts with prices increased by 35 percent on last year. The better tidings is that there are numerous reduced ski vacations available, which in several cases are offsetting the growth in prices in the skiing resorts. never the less it is time to be money conscious. Fortunately we have put together a top five to saving money on this winter’s skiing holidays.
1. Smaller ski resorts will have both cheaper accommodation and lift passes
2. Eat in town instead of on the mountain if you must have a sit down meal at lunch
3. Pay in pounds – book with operators who have kept their prices in pounds and not shifted to Euros
4. Go self catering
5. Ski close to home – even with the strength of the Euro a week’s ski trip in France will cost you less than a trip across the pond
