New Year Kicks off with big snow falls

2009From the team at Dive Fish Snow Travel, Happy New Year! We’d like to make this your most enjoyable year yet, and what better way to start it than by taking a snow holiday to North America, Japan, or by planning one for next season?

For those snow enthusiasts just about to head off to North America or Japan, you are going to have an awesome time in the snow.

For those who haven’t got around to planning a trip for this season, it’s never too early to start planning for next season. It will give you something to look forward to during the year and time to save for your ski holiday.

Can't wait till next year? THERE IS GREAT SNOW IN NORTH AMERICA, JAPAN RIGHT NOW, and with the recession hitting Canada & USA hard, there are still some good airfare and accommodation specials around. Just give us a call now, not next week to get the best savings.

Snow Snow and more Snow

The 2008-09 North American and Japan ski season kicked off early with big snow dumps in early November. And it has just got better and better as the season continues. We are now 1/3 way through and the snow just keep coming and coming, and predictions are it will keep snowing for the next month or so.

There's so much snow, the snow ploughs are working round the clock and the groomers working overtime to pack the fresh powder on the ski trails, and with predictions for more great snow dumps through out February and March, it's promising to be a long wonderful season this year, extending through to late April at most resorts. Some, especially in Alberta, will continue through until May, with excellent snow conditions.

Fresh Powder and Corduroy!

Which is fantastic news for skiers! Our clients are all returning home with rave reviews about powder skiing up to their thighs, virgin untracked snow and powder that's fresh, deep and truly exhilarating. For those not so comfortable in powder, there's fantastic corduroy on the freshly groomed trails, and not a rock or patch of ice in sight!

It's not too late to get amongst it.

With 2-3 months of truly great skiing still ahead, there's plenty of time to get up there to enjoy it all this season. There is still space on flights and in the hotels so there is no excuse not to go!

Can't make it up there this season, think about it for next season.

Think about it NOW! Our consultants are already fielding several enquiries and repeat bookings for next season, and they'll be the first to know when we receive prices, and the first to pick up the best of the early bird specials.
