 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
Does anyone know of any specific Tour operators that cater for students or offer discounts to students. May as well try and make use of the discounts in my final year. Anyone had any experience with said operators. My mate told me about wastelands but they haven't updated their site for ages. The epicski academy sounds good but is way over my budget at the minute. Looking at staying in Europe.

On the piste are a student orientated company...but I don't know if you have to be part of a pre arranged group or not?

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

Interski are very geared to this and very experienced, with their own ski school employing British instructors, ski rental etc., mainly based on coach travel to the Val d'Aosta in Italy: http://www.interski.co.uk

equity do a lot of school trips, but they tend to cater for big groups rather than individual students

Most cater for larger groups. We are a small group of 5. All Are over 21 so a 'School trip' type holiday is not really what we are after. Thanks for the suggestions though. Will try Statravel.

Yeah I think i'l join the ski club in my final year. I know they have a trip planned for next year but I wonder if it is oversubscribed or if they have already taken payments.

Edmundh009,
I used to organise ski trips at uni and we didn't fill up the places until quite near the date (students don't like to commit!). I think the booking dealine for the BUSC trip is around the end of Jan (trip end March usually). If you get the chance you should definitely go on BUSC - it's awesome!

Edmundh009, I would say that you can get cheaper deals by going through low-end TO's like First Choice, Airtours etc. Thats what we did when I was at uni, STA are good for long haul- not so amazing for short haul.

Might just go to the Busc event at the end of March and just not bother going in Jan. Don't think my budget could hack 2 holidays. Besides I can always go to Glenshee, The lecht, Nevis and Cairngorm from January hopefully. I have a funny feeling there will be some good snow coverage this year.

Try the Kings Ski Club. They also organise the student dry-slope racing through the academic year.
