February 2012 Newsletter

Hello J

Another month has gone by and February has arrived, along with tonnes more snow! The snow does not seem to want to stop falling this season – road clearers are out in force doing their jobs around the towns of the Meribel and Courchevel valleys and the piste bashers are doing an excellent job of grooming the pistes making conditions the best in a number of years for skiing and boarding.

Temperatures are well below freezing , even as low as the minus twenties at night so lots of layers are a must! However the sunshine makes up for the chilly temperatures and for some hardy souls sun bathing at lunchtime is still a big part of the ski holiday experience. Such cold weather makes walking inside a bar or lounge at the end of the ski day all the more enjoyable with the promise of a log fire and vin chaud just seconds away!

So where to get your winter holiday while keeping the pockets warm?! Ski Savvy has loads of great cheap ski deals; if you fancy being right in the thick of the action, Les Ravines apartments are in the very heart of Meribel surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants and less than 2 minutes away from access to the slopes. Ski Savvy is offering a week’s stay here from the bargain price of £334 based on four sharing.

For an even cheaper get-away Brides Les Bains is the place to go. Le Grand Chalet apartments are recently refurbished and in the centre of Brides, right next to the casino, Spar shop, cinema and bars and restaurants and only 150m from the gondola up to the slopes of Meribel and Meribel centre. A week in April based on four sharing would be from £286.

For ski-in/ski-out half-board luxury check out Hotel Le Montana in La Tania from £619 or Hotel Le Mottaret in Meribel-Mottaret from £647 based on two sharing in March.

Most holidays are available from Liverpool, London Gatwick, Glasgow and Belfast. Prices are inclusive of a low-cost flight so as their costs rise, so will ours, so don’t delay in booking! Prices also include transfers, accommodation and 24/7 fluent French speaking rep service in resort.

As the season heads out of the winteriest of months and into February and March now is the best time to be booking that spring or Easter break with Ski Savvy so check out www.ski-savvy.com!

We hope to see you all out in France soon,

Best Wishes,

Kirsty and the Ski Savvy Team
