We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
With the news that ski tour operators are reducing bed numbers in
anticipation of a second slow year due to recession and a weak pound,
the outlook for skiers on a budget is looking decidedly bleak this
season, unless you book early.
To combat this 1Stop Travel Insurance, in conjunction with the Good Ski
Guide, have announced a competition where one lucky family of four (two
adults and two children) will win a winter sports holiday in Soll,
Austria’s Ski World, worth 3,000 pounds.
The prize includes a week’s skiing or snowboarding in Soll and the
chance to indulge in some fabulous night skiing on Europe’s biggest
flood lit ski area.
For novice skiers there is sufficient skiing on Soll’s own slopes to
keep them occupied for days, and for experienced skiers there is the
tantalising prospect of venturing across some of the 280 kilometres of
perfect pistes that surround the village.
Half-board accommodation is included at the four star Bergland Apartment
Hotel, as is ski equipment, 6 day ski passes for four people, flights,
taxi transfers and one week’s family winter sports insurance.
The competition closes on 30th November 2009 and can be entered via the
1Stop Travel Insurance website as well as Drakefield’s other owned,
operated and affiliated websites. Drakefield Insurance Services Limited
is an AA Group company.
