Thanks for the replies guys. Andorra is sounding attractive now

Where's the best place to book the holiday? Travel agents? Are there a lot
of extra costs involved than just Hotel, and spending money?


There are three other main costs for a beginner:

1. Lift Pass - this varies between about £60 - £120 depending on the
resort and whether it is high or low season.

2. Equipment hire - a basic set of boots/skis/poles will cost anything
from £30 to £80 depending on the resort.

3. Ski school - you DON'T want to try and do without this. A 5 day
group course will usually cost between £50 and £100 for 2-3 hours per
day of lessons.
