Cheap ski holidays

Whenever you are looking for cheap ski holidays online you'll need to first make the choice between whether you want to be independent or whether you want to do a cheap skiing breaks through one of the package specialists like Crystal, Neilson or Mark Warner.

The real difference between a package ski holiday and an independent one is the element of freedom you will have to pick and choose what suits you (but check out the special package holiday section for more details).

The other main factor that is now becoming even more important is the foreign exchange rate and how they influence the overall price of a package deal (as many operators buy European ski holidays in Euro's and then convert to sterling). Right now, your best bet for cheap ski holidays are a 'long haul' trip to the USA or Canada thanks to weak dollar.

Goski.co.uk will be developing this whole 'holidays' section to bring you details of independent companies as well as the mainstream operators we have all heard about. For example there's a company called "family ski company" that specialise in catered chalets for families regardless of children's ages.
