Ski operators are being forced to heavily discount December packages
because slow sales have left them with thousands of trips still
to sell.
Bumper season yet to appear
Operators were expecting a bumper season on the back of heavy snowfalls
in Europe and the US last year, but so far that has failed to materialise.

product manager David Norris said: "Bookings have picked up in the
past few days, but before then it was pretty slow. I think there
will be discounts throughout the season because companies have added
a lot of holidays after a good winter last year."
US and Canada deals
There are also discounts to the United States and Canada, which
are expecting an increase in bookings this season because of the
strength of the pound against the dollar.
A spokeswoman for Crystal, which is offering discounted December
packages to Aspen, Colorado, said: "If people are specific about
where they want to go, the type of accommodation and dates, then
they need to book early. But, as always, if people are flexible,
then there will be deals."
