Top Ski Holiday Tips

Planning a budget ski holiday?  There are easy ways to ski and save and travel greener this season.

UK ski tour operator Directski.com offers up some great ski and save tips.

Here are Top 10 Budget Ski Holiday Tips:

1. “Bag ski clothing bargains on E-bay, in charity shops, or borrow.”
2. “Don’t skimp on eye protection, take summer sunglasses rather than new ski goggles.”
3. “Book self catering (accommodation), it’s cheaper to eat in and the holiday price tumbles for a group.”
4. “Take instant coffee and tea-bags with you instead of buying in resort.”
5. “Don’t buy skis or boots, hire in resort.”
6. “Book to ski in mid-January or late March when ski holidays are least expensive.”
7. “Carry water with you rather than buying on the mountain.”
8. “If you’re not going to ski the full area, then only buy a local area lift pass.”
9. “Go to the tourist office when you arrive, it’s where local discounts are advertised.”
10. “Organize picnics on the piste from the local supermarket.”
