With new snow forecast for next week, now is an excellent time to grab a last minute ski holidays.

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - February 24th, 2011 - The lack of snow in recent weeks has meant quite a few price drops, if you move fast you can catch these bargains before the snow falls, demand increases, and price rise.

The higher resorts have managed to keep a good level of snow coverage, helped by low temperatures. This has allowed the piste groomers to weave their magic, redistributing the existing and man-made snow ready for the next day. Resorts such as Val d’Isere and Tignes, Les Arcs and La Plagne, and those in the Trois Vallees are a good bet in the current conditions. Also worth considering are those resorts with direct access to the higher ski areas. Morzine - Les Gets are an excellent example, with their links into the vast Portes du Soleil area.

The best way to spot the ski deals is to keep a very close eye on specialist holidays web sites, these cmpanies (such as Alpine Elements) regularly update the offers on their ski deals pages. It is also well worth signing up for the various email newsletters, which can then be delivered direct to your inbox. If you get tired of the emails it is usually very simple to ‘unsubscribe’.

When out hunting for bargain ski holidays don’t concentrate your aim purely on the price, here are often bonus extras to be bagged. An extremely valuable extra is the free liftpass; that can save you over £200! Currently there are some very good deals which include liftpasses for the week after half-term. For the week starting the 27th of February, the Chalet Monterosa in Les Arcs is not only available for a saving of £380 but also includes the lift pass.

With 13cm of new snow forecast this coming weekend, these deals may not be around for too long.
