Long weekend ski trips are incredible, but without proper planning, you risk not maximising your time carving the slopes or gliding through powder. So to help make sure you get the most from your trip, make sure you follow our top tips below:
Find a resort with a short transfer time - less time travelling, can mean more time on the slopes and time to get gear and lift passes once you arrive.
Get early flights out and late flights back - While an early start can be a struggle for night owls, getting an early flight ensures you're spending more time in resort. And naturally, you can further maximise your time in resort by opting for a late flight back, giving you even more time to ski before you have to leave.
Get accommodation close to the slopes/center of the resort - If you choose accommodation close to the slopes, you'll naturally spend less time getting to first lifts in the morning. Ski-in and ski-out options are often ideal for this reason. Meanwhile, if the resort is out of town and requires a bus to get to it, being close to the bus routes in the center of town means less time travelling to the lifts.
