Are you one of many who always wanted to try out skiing but thought it might be expensive for you? Time to re-consider. Book a ski trip during Freshers’ Ski Week and get your lessons, your lift pass and your equipment hire for FREE.

The Association of Snowsports Countries and the leading tour operators – Crystal Ski, Thomson Ski, First Choice Ski – are working together to introduce more and more people to the magic of skiing, the beauty of the mountains, the thrill of the sport and fun of the après ski by massively reducing the cost of a ski holiday.

Freshers’ Ski Week 2011 ensures every participant will not only get amazing value, but one lucky couple that enters the free prize draw on www.freshersskiweek.com will be jetting off to a ski resort, in the country of their choice, for one week next year completely free*.

Following on from its success last year, the ‘Freshers’ Ski Week’ is back once again to entice more first time skiers onto the slopes for a period of one week (from 19 March 2011), to learn to ski for free in one of more than 20 great resorts on offer in Andorra, the Aosta Valley in Italy, France and Switzerland.

Just book your holiday and your tuition, lift pass and equipment hire will be thrown in for free.

Simply go to www.freshersskiweek.com, choose a tour operator and resort and pick up the phone. Remember that there are over 745 holidays on offer, so even if your first choice is not available, holiday advisers will be able to offer you an alternative destination.

We have also joined forces with other organisations that share our aim of attracting new people into the sport: Snowsport England, SnowCamp, TX Maxx and Ellis Brigham Mountain Sports incorporating The Snowboard Asylum Mountain Sports stores.
