Report this content

Those who choose to play the waiting game to seek out the best ski deals are missing out on some amazing early booking offers. With summer finally upon us, it can take a bit of motivation to get your head round thinking about a winter skiing holiday. Ski Safari has some brilliant deals, delivering the ultimate incentive to convert late deal bargain hunters to early bird bookers. Here are five more reasons why it pays to fix your skiing holiday straightaway and book by 31stAugust 2013.

1) Flight sales - many airlines are running flights sales until 31st August 2013, which means now is the cheapest time to book a North American ski holiday.

2) Save on accommodation - many hotels and accommodation providers are offering savings of up to 70%, including free nights, room upgrades and free breakfasts.

3) Enjoy discounts on extras - lift companies are offering incentives of up to 70% on lift passes, as well as offers on ski rentals, ski school and activities.

4) Availability - if you are restricted to school holidays, families need to book early to ensure they get the holiday they want, which suits their needs at the best possible price. Easter falls late next year but after last season’s amazing late snow record, April is still a good and viable option for families, heading to higher resorts. Even February half term offers exist if you book in advance, including some great deals to Tremblant, with prices in line with many European packages. Sweden and Norway half-term offers are another great family option and benefit from fewer lift queues compared to many Alpine resorts.

5) Tell your friends – if you have booked with Ski Safari before, pass on the message why now is the best time to book and as a thank you for every friend you recommend who books their first holiday with Ski Safari by 31 August, you’ll both receive a £50 Amazon voucher. www.skisafari.com/tellyourfriends
