How to Prepare for a Ski Holiday

Ski holidays are always fun and exciting, but in order to get the most out of yours, you need to plan it thoroughly. Here are three things you should consider.

Ski Area Size

Some resorts offer smaller, private ski areas, while others merge with other resorts to let their guests use a bigger surface. This will be more or less important to you depending on if you’re a beginner or an advanced skier.

When to Go

In North America and Europe, the ski season usually lasts from November to April. Go early or late in the season and you risk the snow not being good enough, but you’ll get better prices. The middle of the season is typically more expensive, but you know you’ll have plenty of snow.

The Cost

Consider everything that you should pay in order to avoid surprises once you reach the resort. Accommodation, transport, lift pass, food, etc. add up quickly. You can adjust the cost by going to one of the cheaper resorts — in Europe, you can find them in Bulgaria and France.
