  So let's have a bit of honestly and here's my roundup of tips to get you on the right course to a decent inexpensive ski deal. Here's a few things to consider:
  
  

  • Choosing a Location
  
  
  • Watching for Hidden costs
  
  
  • Time of year for best value
  
  
  • Keeping things basic

  
  
  Choosing a Location
  
  Now my personal favorite here is Austria for value and by opting for a quieter resort with no hardcore apres ski together with nightclub scene there's some top deals to be had. Having said that it may also be worth considering some with the lesser know resorts in eastern Europe and as they are not my division of experience all I suggest is make sure that they have the facilities you need.
  
  Watching for Hidden costs
  
  Right then folks, add these to your checklist before placing a booking. Firstly method with payment. If you intend for the credit card account then checkout the charges for deploying it. Second, are you taking ski's together with you? If yes then look for any fees from your airline (Here you can easily get stung for an extra?? 50. Third, luggage weight, any charges from the airline for your 12Kg of baggage (ensure you ask).
  
  Season for best value
  
  From my experience when you need to avoid are Christmas, Easter, New years eve, and the February half term. Unless of course you ought to pay more. Being strategic here about opting for dates after those occasions can often result in some massive discounts.
  
  Keeping things simple
  
  Personally I love to keep things simple by opting for a package deal. It's the extra's they will include like ski moves and equipment hire that often tend to sway me. After all, even if there isn't much negotiation over the flights and accommodation, some of the larger operators get a few excellent deals on ski hire which is some of those extras I don't love to leave to chance.
  
  So to summarise, pick a superior location, sometimes the most popular resort is the most expensive so going for the smaller names can often serve you well. Keep an observation on hidden costs, pick the best times of year for a bargain and if you possibly can opt for an all-in package and avoid those cheeky extras is probably a smart move.
