Competition closed – sorry!

Are you longing for a taste of snow before the season ends? Then listen up: because Welove2ski, in association with chalet-holiday specialist Ski Total, is giving you the chance to win a ski holiday for two people before the end of the 2013-2014 season.

The prize includes a week’s chalet accommodation for the winner and guest in either Tignes or Les Deux Alpes, as well as return flights from Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Gatwick or Manchester, and transfers. What’s more, the winner can pick of one of five departure dates between March 23 and April 20, 2014, subject to availability.

Both Tignes and Les Deux Alpes have their own glaciers, and thanks to regular snowfall in February and early March have plenty of cover on their pistes. So the winner and guest should have some great skiing on their trip. Ski Total’s properties are well-placed in both resorts, and include the brand-new Chalet Loup Blanc in Les Deux Alpes, and the Chalet Aigle Royal in Tignes. Only Ski Total’s Platinum chalets are excluded from the prize.
