Ski In Ski Out

Half Term Ski 2011

If you are looking to book a half term ski holiday in 2011, don't leave it to the last minute as yet again it already looks like its going to be another bumper week for ski chalet operators. People said there was a recession this year, but at half term it didn't show as family skiers came out in their droves.

Talking to operators, the 2011 ski half term weeks aren't going to be any different, and talking to one operator he suggested that it could be an even bigger two weeks for visitors as anyone who did miss out last year as a result of financial prudence, won't be doing so two years on the trot!

Ski Half Term and Easter Ski Holidays

Family ski groups are often torn between the ski half term holiday, and the Easter ski break. With the really luck ones enjoying both a half term and an Easter skiing holiday.

In our opinion both are great times for a family ski holiday. The ski half term week generally offers slightly colder days which means that although the ski day is shorter, the snow conditions are typically more consistent through the day. In comparison to the Easter ski week, the weather can however be a little colder, especially for the earlier half term ski breaks. In comparison, the Easter ski holidays typically offer warmer, sunny days, with good snow, but as a result of the warmer afternoons and weather typically, the snow conditions by mid afternoon often soften so skiing is typically mornings and mid afternoons mainly, followed by a relaxing beer or glass of wine on the terrace of your luxury catered chalet of favourite bar.
