Flights during School Holidays in December 2011 and January 2012 are already tight.

• Flights to / from Japan, Canada and USA back home are always full and generally the cheap seats are sold out by the end of July!
• Then don’t forget the week before the kids go back to school, students back to Uni and the language students venture downunder! (25 Jan – 7 Feb 2012)

Now is the time to start planning so you do not have to pay any more than you have to.

Remember – its always the best value seats that sell out first, and once they are sold, they’re gone!

Why Ski BC, Canada?

It’s a question that pops up now and again: Why ski in BC? NZ has skiing, Australia has skiing.  So why incur the expense and duration of a 12 hour flight to Vancouver, Canada to hit the hills?

Apart from the current strong AU and NZ dollar making it more affordable, If you ski every single day for an entire season in BC, at a pace of 8 full hours a day, you would still not come close to sampling all the on-hill delights that BC has to offer.  But you will be amazed at the perfectly groomed runs, guaranteed ski days, gladed skiing and beautiful mountains covered in snow, not to mention the world-class dining establishments, trend-setting boutiques, family activities, hot springs and memories to last a lifetime.

Ten Top Reasons to Ski BC

1. Direct air services from Sydney and Auckland to Vancouver
2. Champagne Powder and trees, trees, trees
3. Short to non existent lift queues
4. Purpose built ski in ski out resorts with expert to novice terrain
5. Family Friendly options a plenty
6. Bar-setting ski in/ski out accommodations
7. Off piste adventures galore
8. Great value for your skiing dollar
9. Epic Vistas and Ambience
10. Where everyday is a guaranteed ski day
