An 11 Day Ski Holiday For Three Days Off Work

Far be it from J2ki.com to try to cash in on the happy event that is the Royal Wedding with some tacky and tenuous association with ski holidays, but several PR companies have been quick to point out that with the nuptials coming in the same week as the late Easter there's the potential for an 11 day ski holiday for three days of annual leave time, assuming you get Good Friday off.
The period from Good Friday on April 22nd to May 2nd now only includes three normal working days on the Tuesday to Thursday between Easter Monday and Royal Wedding Day on April 29th.
Although this is of course very late in the ski season there are at least 50 large ski areas around the world what will still be open then, among them Ischgl in Austria which will stage a major pop concert on April 30th; Squaw Valley and Mammoth in Colorado; Lake Louise and Sunshine in Alberta, Canada; Whistler in BC; Saas Fee and Zermatt in Switzerland and Chamonix, Les 2 Alpe, Tignes and Val Thorens in France. In Scandinavia Hemsedal in Norway, Ruka in Finland and Are in Sweden will all be open.
Of course almost all tour operators will have stopped operating by then for winter 201-11 so it will be a case of booking direct yourself, but on the upside there's deals a plenty to be had at that time of year.
Even royal favourite Klosters plans to stay open to Sunday, May 1st.
