    I used activity breaks.com and got a 3 night / 2 day ski holiday for two for €480 all in. Also did another one to montecampione but cant remember the exact price.

    Booked ryanair into Bergomo, car hire to preselona / montecampione. Skiing by lunchtime and the following 2 days. Flew back late night

    3rd week in January is the best, cheapest, time to go ski as it's in between two peak seasons. Andorra & Livigno were always good options as they have a large ski area, good night life and are cheap enough. They are cheap because they are in Tax free areas and it takes about 4 hours to get there.

    It should depend on your ability level too. You could go somewhere like Bulgaria but the ski area is very small..

    Jasna, Slovakia is very budget friendly. Liptov Lodge is Irish owned. The skipasses are starting to creep up in price, but the food, beer and accommodation is still very competitive.

    Where’s the nearest airport to fly into? Krakow? What’s transfer times to Jasna like.

    Some weeks still available in Jasna, Slovakia.

    2nd March - 13th March

    Some great value for medium sized groups and ski passes are as low as 146 euro for 6 days.
    Liptov Lodge is great for Irish hospitality.
