The recent launch of cheap flights to Canada has helped bring down the prices for
ski holidays in Canada, making the pristine powder and awe-inspiring peaks of Canada
more reachable for ski holidaymakers from Europe.
Another boost to Canada's popularity is the excellent snow conditions its resorts
enjoyed during the Winter 2007 season.
Jon Pearce from Ski-Direct says: "Canada is world-famous for its skiing. Snow
conditions in the Canadian resorts are excellent and have some of the longest ski
seasons in the world. Many of our customers return to Canada year after year once
they get the taste of it."
Canada is an ideal destination for group ski holidays, as the ski packages available
at the Canadian resorts are often more flexible than those available in Europe.
Ski-Direct specialises in putting together the right ski holiday for groups of any
size.
Ski-Direct has received the largest number of bookings for major North-American
resorts, from both groups and individuals. The spectacular Banff area in Alberta,
Canada has been a favourite this season. Banff is the only North American ski resort
located in a National Park. The unspoilt ski resort offers three unique mountains
for skiers of all grades.
Another noticeable trend in ski holiday bookings this season is that people tend to
be making bookings at the High resorts in Europe. This may be due to some
disappointment in snow conditions last season. Late bookers seem to be waiting for
snow fall to decide where to go for their ski holiday.
Only Andorra bucks this trend, the small country is famous as an ideal destination
for skiing on a budget
