Snowboarding Reductions Can Be Had because of the Financial Crisis
With the pound fetching a little less than a Euro at currency exchanges, one would reckon there would be a lot of real ski deals to be booked in alpine ski resorts this ski season as potential skiers stick back home to beat the recession. Provisional numbers just now published show that ski resorts are 89 percent booked during the Christmas period. 11 % higher than the identical period last year.
One will have more chance in Jan that currently has a 33 % reserve rate. The signs of a recession is during the significant Feb ski vacation month which has 66 % reservations, 2 percent less than last season. Reservation desks in the ski domains of Alpe d Huez, Gourette, Tignes-les-Brevieres and Verchaix have noted heavy reservations during December boosted by the fantastic early winter season snows. Les Arcs has better bookings than last year, and La Grave enjoyed a superb Xmas.
But there is strong requirement for larger self catered chalets, 6 to 12 spaces, as folk group-up to save money. Early evidence highlights that do it yourself snowboarding holidays are holding up, evidence perhaps that earnest boarders will not sacrifice their ski trip to the mountains. However inquiries for package holidays are down on last year.
