Some excellent holidays are still to be found, including one with 2-for-1 equipment hire, and two for half term. February is a popular time, due to the school break, but March is a great time to go – with quieter pistes and longer days. As well as looking through the deals below, it’s also worth seeing what the ski specialist travel agencies have on offer, such as SNO, Snowfinders and Ski in Luxury. Most of the major tour operators have ski holiday deals available throughout the winter, too.

By the way, we’re included – in first place – in The Good Web Guide’s best sites for skiing.
