All that snow at home must surely make you wish you could ski on it – properly, with lifts and pistes – not just in your back garden or the nearest park? So, in case it’s whetted your appetite and you want to escape to the mountains, we’ve put together some deals for you.

This week I am in Jasna, Slovakia (with Jasna Adventures) where it is bitterly cold, and it’s a similar story in the Alps, so make be sure to wrap up warm and wear plenty of layers when you go skiing.

As well as taking a look at the 14 deals below, it’s also worth checking the websites of the major tour operators. Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – this is especially important during peak holiday periods such as February and Easter. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
