Now’s your last chance to get a ski deal before the high season is upon us – and we even have a few for half term too. As you will have seen from our recent snow reports, conditions are superlative across Europe. So if you’re planning to ski off piste, remember to bring the correct safety equipment with you.
Don’t forget to reserve your airport parking at least 24 hours before you go – especially important during peak holiday periods. If you’re flying from Gatwick, Cophall Parking has some offers just for Welove2ski viewers.
Due to readers’ requests, we now also have our ski holiday prices in euros (with the exchange rate correct at the time of writing), although you should contact tour operators direct for a quote that doesn’t include travel from the UK.
