Hi %%First Name%%,

The weather has turned and Winter is fast approaching. Have you got your skis and boards tuned and ready to hit the slopes at one of our great Ski fields in New Zealand?

While you are ‘in the ski mode’ don’t forget the amazing Earlybird specials on offer right now for skiing in Canada, USA and Japan. We have been inundated already by those keen to ensure they get the accommodation and flights they want, all at the best prices. So don’t leave it to the last minute, because we do not like having to tell our clients that their planned dates for flights are booked out and their chosen accommodations are full – and trust us – at this early stage, we are already having to jiggle things around to fit in with flights as the North American tourists flock to NZ and Australia over our summer - who can understand why they would leave all that amazing powder?

Here is a taste of some of the lead in packages available - all offering fresh powdery snow, empty slopes, clear blue sky days, ski in/ski out accommodation and a whole lot of White Christmas family fun! But don’t wait! Many Specials are for a limited time and the best deals and the best options always sell out first!

Airfare Trends

School Holidays

• Then don’t forget the week before the kids go back to school, students back to Uni and the language students venture downunder! (28 Jan – 4 Feb 2011)
• Flights from Japan, Canada and USA back to New Zealand are always full and generally the cheap seats are gone by end of June!

Japan: Domestic Flights and good accommodation in Japan are always full!

The local Japanese Skiers are always quick to book their domestic airfares to Hokkaido in search of the wicked powder conditions. This coupled with a shortage of good quality European and/or Japanese style accommodation has meant that from July onwards, you run the risk of a lack of connecting flights and suitable accommodation for when you want to go.  It then becomes more about what you can get as opposed to what deal you can get! Don’t be a ‘Last Minute Larry!’

Located in BC, Canada, Panorama Mountains ski-in / ski-out accommodation means no problems when someone gets tired or hungry!  Parents and kids can easily drop back into their unit for a bite to eat or even a little nap before heading onto the mountain again for a few more runs. The amazing variety of affordable accommodations, make Panorama Ski Resort a perfect family friendly holiday.   Read More »

Q. What happens if the mountains are closed?

A. Guaranteed ski days or your money back. Skiing in North America is much more reliable than in NZ or Australia. There is seldom any ice, and mountain closures due to poor weather are almost unheard of. In all our years of selling snow holidays to Japan, Canada and USA, none of our clients have ever lost a day of skiing due to bad weather. Read more

Q. What is Ski in Ski Out accommodation?

A.Ski in Ski Out accommodation, as well as the resort village, are situated right on the ski fields, right by the lifts and ski runs. Just put on your skis outside your door and start skiing! No need to transfer up and down mountains, no need to park your car and carry your gear to the lifts. It is so easy and hassle free.

Try it once and you will be spoilt for life!  Read More

Q. Do I need to be an expert skier to ski in Japan or North America ?

A. You certainly do not need to be an expert to get the most enjoyment out of a North American or Japanese snow holiday. The resorts are great places to learn to ski or board, and there are plenty of wide open groomed green and blue runs for novices and intermediates. No matter what your age or level of experience, you can all have loads of fun every day in Japan and North America. Read More

A. You certainly can, But experience tells us that you must do this now! Economy to Premium Economy or Premium Economy to Business class seats are always the most popular options and get snapped up quickly. 
* Please note there may be a small fee for this service - when calling us do make sure you have your airpoints and pin number ready.

Doesn’t matter how we say it?

The bottom line is that we don’t want you to pay anymore than you have to.

The reality is that Airlines only make a profit on full aircrafts and can reduce schedules or fly smaller aircraft depending on the loading.

Yet one rule never changes – cheap seats and upgrades using airpoints always go 1st!

Combine this with accommodation shortages during peak snow conditions and holidays and you can very easily get caught short!

Book early and Save – Book late and take your chances!
