Are you the winner of our fantastic 14 night ski Holiday in Sun Peaks and Whistler? 

Read on to find your lucky number somewhere in this SnowTimes – then follow the link to see if it matches the winning number on our website!

Hi %%First Name%%,

Well winter finally took its time, but it certainly hit NZ with a hiss and a roar.  We had staff snowed in down in Queenstown ensuring they enjoyed a magical winter wonderland. And, down at Ruapehu, more great snow combined with lots of blue sky made for some great skiing for many.

And, if that is not enough for you, it is still not too late to take advantage of some great specials still available for skiing Japan, USA and Canada. The strong dollar against the USD is certainly making for some very attractive ski holiday packages in Colorado, Utah and Mammoth/Tahoe, not to mention the great airfares to both USA and Canada. All this and yet another La Niña predicted this coming season, means North America could be set for yet another Epic Season.

Everyone must at least once in his or her lifetime enjoy the luxury of a truly magical skiing holiday:

  • where everyday is a guaranteed ski day
  • where kids can stay and ski free
  • where you simply step out of your accommodation and ski straight onto the slopes
  • where the snow is light, dry, powdery, plentiful and perfectly groomed
  • where the slopes are wide and crowd free
  • where the lifts are high speed and rarely with queues
  • where you can enjoy some magical glade skiing

  1. Booking any special airfare as part of your Dive Fish Snow Travel package means you pay no more than booking direct on any airline website + you get a professional who has been there to look after your airfare booking.
  2. Fog, Ash Clouds, too much snow, winter storms, Mother Nature, Mechanical problems etc, can and do delay or cancel flights, often meaning missed or very tight connections & lost baggage. Then when it does go wrong, it can compound and turn into an expensive and stressful mess to sort out. Booking your airfares yourself means you are on your own to deal with the Airlines direct, as we do not have control over the airfares. If your booking is part of the Dive Fish Snow Travel holiday package, we take away the stress by sorting it all for you.
  3. Booking flights with Dive Fish Snow Travel means we have access to your flights - so if there is a schedule change, we are notified and we can reschedule or re-book your flights without penalty.

It is a no brainer, yet many still feel they can save by booking through direct online airline websites. If you are thinking of doing the same, talk to us, before you book those airfares. You will save heaps on money and hassle, and you wont pay any more.
