May be of use to someone. Only for total novices I presume, apparently they ran it successfully last year!! Slightly restrictive to dates and resorts as you would expect. Also applicable to boarders...
CALLING ALL FIRST TIMERS
TRY SKIING FOR FREE FOR ONE WEEK IN JANUARY OR MARCH 2010
Ever wanted to have a go at Skiing, but just never got round to it? Have friends who have never dared to try, but wish they could join the fun? Well, 2010 is the year to take the leap and hit the slopes for FREE!
For a period of one week, from either the 16th of January or the 20th of March, you can learn to ski for free in one of 30 great resorts in Andorra, Austria, Finland, France, Norway and Switzerland.
Just book your holiday with any of the five participating tour operators, Crystal Ski, First Choice Ski, Inghams, Neilson and Thomson Ski and your tuition, lift passes and equipment hire will be thrown in for free.
This amazing offer has no strings attached and has been brought to you by the Association of SnowSports Countries. So make the most of it, and discover the fun of a holiday in the mountains!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

What's to stop me booking that and then skiving off the lessons?

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

Lizzard, I think the package includes a 'beginners ski pass' which I suspect means no pass for the first day or two as your time on the nursery slope will be served by a couple of free lifts. As far as I can see it's only the tuition, beginners lift pass, and kit rental is bundled in for free. You pay for the holiday (travel & flights, etc) as normal.

Lizzard, nothing. But you do have to pay for the holiday, so what would be the point? Probably equipment a bit beneath your usual expectations too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

pam w, the holidays look cheap to me. And I would certainly skive off the equipment hire as well. However, the 'beginners lift pass' bit could be a problem.
