Easter Ski

Here at Ski Christmas, the end of the Easter skiing holidays always signals the slow end to the season, before another season is upon which starts in November, but for most holiday makers the ski Christmas week. This year the Christmas and Easter ski weeks both had great snow so we're keep our fingers crossed that next year we are even luckier!

We'll of course keep blogging sin the meantime so please stay with us.

Ski In Ski Out - Family Chalet

Chalet Prarion in the Chamonix Valley offers a great luxury catered chalet retreat for a great family ski holiday. A large chalet (over 250 square metres) on three floors, the chalet includes a large hot tub, projection cinema, and much more. Six bedrooms, all en-suite provide capacity for 12 people. At £10,500 it provides outstanding value with four staff on hand (Professional Chef, Chalet Host, On Call driver, and Children Entertainer with optonal in house Nanny Service upgrade.

35 Weeks and 3 Days

Yes, you could be enjoying your next family ski holiday in just 35 weeks and 3 days time, or 248 days! Already there is a fabulous base down here in the Alps (380cm) with fresh powder all this week (20cm)!

Ok, the above is true, but it isn't of course going to last until the ski Christmas break, but every year we have been out at Christmas the snow has been fantastic. Strangely enough it is often fresh powder with few having skied the weeks before and typically a good snowfall in November and December.

So wax up those skies, you'll be on that plane in 248 days time!

Skiing Christmas

I guess you might expect a blogger of a Ski Christmas blog to suggest this is a great time to ski, but it is true, particularly if you are based in the UK! Lets start with the UK element, a Christmas skiing holiday enables you to getaway from that pre-Christmas madness and spend so time relaxing in a really idyllic Christmas location where the streets are snowy and white, and everybody seems to have stopped to actually celebrate the Christmas holiday, rather than get stressed by it!

And if you have children, a family ski Christmas holiday allows the children to enjoy a traditional Christmas landscape, but focus on much more than just Christmas Day itself. Yes there will be Santa, but there will also be skiing to take much of the energy out of them!

And on the day, if you have booked a luxury catered chalet, there will of course be the Christmas tree and decorations, but breakfast will be prepared for you, as will the traditional Christmas Dinner, and better still, no one has to peel the sprouts or clear up afterwards.

Finally, as for the snow, in my personal experience some of the best skiing and snow has been the Christmas ski week. Why, well it typically dumps and dumps November and December, few people have then skied the weeks before Christmas, leaving the perfect snow to practice perfect S's!
