As February is an ideal month to book a skip trip, low cost airline bmibaby shares some things to keep in mind for all ski lovers this winter.
Written by: bmibaby
• If you are not taking your own equipment on holiday, then pre book your
ski/board hire.
• Buy an annual multi-trip insurance policy with free winter sports option
(online) as this can often save you money.
• Call into the resort’s tourist office, as they often have local
information and promotions/discounts. It’s also a way to speak to some locals.
• Buy your equipment at the end of the season, because prices are cheaper.
• Be flexible with travel dates as some dates are cheaper than others due
to availability and time of the year.
• eBay your old ski equipment and clothing and put the money towards your
new items.
• If you’re travelling in a group, hire a big car — such as a people
carrier — and get as many people in as possible.
• When skiing with young children, take a back pack with drinks and food.
This will save on having to buy expensive snacks on the mountains.
• Put a free classified ad on World Radio Switzerland if you are looking for car-sharing from Geneva to your ski resort.
• Visit the ski shows before you book to search around for the best deals.

These are some really good points. We’ve taken the train over to Bourg and it was worth every second. I don’t really consider myself a ski fan and even I had fun! Next time we go I’ll have to bear this in mind, especially the 4th point.

Hi Emma, Glad to hear you enjoyed the trip. And the 4th is a good point. By buying equipment at the end of the season you can make some great savings. Hope you’ll have as much fun next time!
