Skiing has a reputation for being a high class holiday, not considered by those seeking a vacation break on a budget.

Many ski resorts are, however, responding to the difficult financial climate and the growing number of cash-strapped travelers by providing some great tourist deals.

Ski Package Deals Hot Up

Creative marketers have invented First Time Snowboarder specials, Beginners Skiing Specials and all sorts of package deals such as inclusive lift tickets, equipment rental and lessons.

With many tourists complaining about the high cost of lift tickets in resorts such as Vail, an increasing number are voting with their feet and skiing closer to home.

US Ski Market Snowballs

Many US ski resorts are reporting that business is booming, as ardent skiers, unwilling to give up the thrills of a ski break are cutting back on flights in order to fly down the slopes.

People are increasingly looking for added value on ski breaks and initiatives such as whole season ski passes and lodging deals are a great way to bring in the business and attract customers, despite their tighter budgets.
