Poster: A snowHead

Hi everyone, I have plenty of spare time over winter and wanted to try to find some bargain last minute ski deals, most sites I have found seem to want me specify what country or resort and what dates before telling me how much.... I am open to where and when I just needed price to start with, can anyone recommend a site of have any advice?

@pika1971,
If you're trying to find last minute ski deals by definition they won't be available yet. Cheapest times are usually pre-xmas or early January if the snow is decent.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

erm, last minute means you look last minute. lots of tour operators will have a deals page of some sort.
If you are diying it, then last minute dont always work, as last minute flights tend to get hiked up in price.

Igluski allow you to be vague (leave blank) with country and resort.
In fact they allow you to leave almost everything blank, including dates and departure airport.
Then just sort by price.
They also cover 134 resorts and 14 countries from 24 different tour operators.

Thanks Mikey that's what I was after. I know there won't be ski deals out yet guys I just wanted to find somewhere that would advertise them irrespective of country, I'm really after deals on packages really, I know flights tend to get a little more expensive closer to the time unfortunately unlike 20 years ago. Thanks for your help so far...

@pika1971, why not just DIY?

You can book flights to a ski hub now whilst it's cheap, Munich, Geneva, Milan, Turin etc. Then use Sunweb, Snowtrex or Igluski closer to the time to book accom + lift pass deals last minute closer to the time.
Cheapest way of getting the best variety in a season I'd say (and to follow the snow!)
All above sites allow you to search just by date.

For off-peak weeks after New Year it's often cheaper to get a last minute package than to DIY. Pre-Christmas there tends to be less availability from the big tour operators but it's dead cheap to DIY. Lots of places look like they've got fairly decent snow already, so if I wasn't already booked I'd be making plans now for a pre-Christmas week.

Hi all. Quick question as I cannot find an unequivocal answer on their website(s). Snowtrex/Sunweb/et al... when they do the inclusive liftpass - and this may seem dumb, I realise - it is for EVERY member of the party, right? Just looking at several deals for 4 people and all of the description refers to a singular lift pass and doesn't specify it's one per member of the party. I can't believe they wouldn't have been hammered in the media about it if they were trying to pull that stunt, but just wanted to double check if anyone knew. Cheers!

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

It's one each. If it is a linked area, it will be for the local bit and you can upgrade it later in the booking process.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

There's some very good deals in Val di Fassa over New Year with Crystal. Half Board from Edinburgh for about £550.

You know it makes sense.

@pika1971, way too distant to be "late deals".
think …..…. pack all the ski stuff 5 days before you want to go ……… get the cats to the cattery, then, and only then, check out late deal sites.
