The financial markets are in turmoil. Goverment growth forceasts are getting constantly downgraded. It's all doom and gloom (or so the papers would have you believe), and you need to reign in your household spending. It all sounds very depressing, but it needn't be. Here at PowderBeds we're keeping up our end of the bargain and have found some killer deals to prove that a skiing holiday doesn't have to break the bank. We've even gone one step further and have pulled together a quick guide on how to book a cheap, recession-proof skiing holiday. After all, saving's more fun if you have a skiing holiday to look forward to.
These tougher financial times have squeezed out more affordable deals to the Alps than ever before but as ever the key to getting the most bang for your buck is the timing.

There are some great deals on flights at the moment if you book far enough in advance. A return flight with Easyjet to Geneva from London Gatwick from the 10th of December, returning on the 17th comes to £51 including taxes!
