British skiers are inspired by snow storms and book ski holidays in the Alps
Following the unprecedented levels of snow fall in the UK this week, Ski Europe Online, the specialist European ski travel agency, has been inundated with calls from families and couples who have been enjoying the snow and then decided to book a ski holiday.
Comments Sammi Nisbet, Managing Director of Ski Europe Online: “The UK snow has been a life saver for the ski industry. Non-discounted sales for holidays during the Christmas week were at an all time industry low this year, so the blizzards that have swept the UK and the continent, and thus inspired bookings, have been a welcome relief. Year-on-year, this week’s bookings are up by over 150%.”
The whole of Europe is experiencing exceptional ski conditions this year and Ski Europe Online still has plenty of availability over the remainder of the season at over 350 chalets and hotel across 79 resorts throughout France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Andorra, Spain, Slovenia, Lapland and Scotland.
