Possibly one of the best ways to kick-start the New Year is to put your ski jacket on, and get onto the piste. As well as being a fantastic boost to any New Year’s resolutions based around keeping healthy and getting in shape, January’s skiers should experience decent conditions and quiet slopes. As long as you can wrap up warm against the cold weather, the conditions should be the best of the season. Powder White Ski Holidays add that getting on the slopes in January can be a perfect way to “beat the dull weather and back to work rush, leaving you invigorated and ready for the year ahead.”

Take Advantage of Cheaper Prices

Quieter resorts generally equate to cheaper prices for accommodation and flights, especially as any travelling will take place outside of the school holidays. If you are not particularly fussed over which resort you go to and can make a last minute booking, chances are you may be able to snatch a cracking bargain. Powder White calculates that many New Year offers can equate to as much as 30 per cent off the price of the holiday.

Great Conditions

If you are planning to hit European destinations, particularly those within the Alps, you will experience what some are calling the “best conditions in a decade”. New Generation Ski School has assessed this January as having “conditions in the Alps that are pretty much unrivalled by any other year.”
