Family Ski Resort Report unveils best value budget ski destination’s

What better way to get away from the winter blues and refresh the kids’ minds during their holidays than an active winter holiday on Europe’s slopes.

And with the start of December, the European Ski Season really begins to lift off.  To mark this, the Post Office has released its 2011 Family Ski Report comparing costs of resorts based on equipment, lift passes, ski schools and meals. 

The report selected family ski resorts in 10 countries and checked out prices for the things you just can’t do without on a winter sports holiday - ski equipment, lift passes, ski school – and added the cost of feeding and watering families too. 

So, how can you and the kids benefit from a winter sports break in the snow without breaking the bank?

Listen to our podcast with Olympic Skier and anchorman for BBC TV’s Ski Sunday, Graham Bell and Sarah Munro, Head of Post Office Travel Money to find out more.
