Advantages: Good value for money, easy to book and good service. Disadvantages: If you book late finding good value flights on your own can be difficult.
...Erna Low aren't a company I or any of my friends had ever heard of before - but they have been arranging skiing holidays since 1932!
They have a great selection of Ski resorts - mostly in France - and they specialise in self drive holidays (for me that means "arrange your own travel" - we always fly!). The cost of a ferry crossing is included in the price and they deduct £150 if you don't want it. You can also ask them to arrange travel by train or flying and transfers to most resorts - I don't think this is as cheap as going to Easyjet yourself but it probably doesn't cost more than a standard package holiday from a high street company!
There is a real advantage to arranging your own ski package because not only is it cheaper and more flexible (you can get 7 full days skiing) but you can hire a car at the airport and do all your...

...Skiing is one of those sports... you love it straight away, or you'll hate it. If you hate it, you may grow to like it, but you'll never love it. But if the bug bites you, you'll be a skier (or boarder!) till the day you die!
For me, the bug definitely bit... several times!! My first time skiing was with a group of 27 of us and the whole ambience of the holiday meant that the time on the slopes kept the same party mood.
But that was a group holiday organised by someone else. What about organising it yourself? And what about the expensive reputation winter sports has? Well, your big nosed guide... that's me!... will show you the light that leads to heaven halfway up a mountain!!!
