Free Beginners

I seem to recall that some of the big companies were doing some sort of free learn to ski package for bigginers on certain dates in January the last few years.

We are at teh early stages of planing a group trip in January next year inlcuiding total beginners. Anyone know if these deals will be repeated in Jan 2011??

Cheers

When I read the thread title, I was expecting that a number of newbies had been imprisoned due to a lack of skills :D

I suggest getting hold of the big TO's brochures, and having a look on their websites too. If you have a sizeable group, you may be able to negotiate your own package with one of the "Groups" departments at the TO's.

Last winter we were led to believe that the pips were squeaking, so expect low season deals, if any!

Hi Rusty, long time no ski! I wonder if rather than focussing on the free beginner element, that you look at total bottom line. eg, for a group, you may be offered free places, a number of free lift passes, a ski school block booking.
Availability will be a key issue, along with flight slots. Many ops now offer beginner packages.
