And no-one wants their relaxing alpine break to end with a trip to the hospital. However, there are ways to dodge the common mistakes that can lead to disaster.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve got years of skiing experience under our belts, so we know a thing or two about holiday mishaps. Here\u2019s how to <strong>avoid a nightmare experience when skiing this year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Pick Your Dates Wisely<\/h2>\n<p>First things first, when planning a ski trip, you need to think about dates.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at one of the most popular European ski resorts at the height of ski season or during the Easter school holidays could be a recipe for disaster for some.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re hoping for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/where-ski-without-crowds\/\">a relaxing break away from the crowds<\/a>, queuing for the ski lifts and battling past groups of revellers in the local bars could be your worst nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, consider booking your holiday outside of peak times. This way, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/how-save-money-flights-alps\/\">flights are guaranteed to be cheaper<\/a> and you won\u2019t be jostling for space on the slopes. Booking midweek could even save you up to 50% on your ski transfer!<\/p>\n<h2>Double Check the Airline Baggage Policy<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about travelling with ski equipment, it\u2019s worth checking your airline\u2019s baggage policy before you travel to avoid any costly nightmares.<\/p>\n<p>Many budget airlines are tight on baggage allowance and don\u2019t allow ski equipment as part of your regular hold luggage. If you turn up with heavy skis and snowboards, you could be met with hefty added charges. A nightmare if you\u2019re hoping for a budget break!<\/p>\n<p>To sidestep this problem, why not leave your skis at our ski storage service?<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Leave Packing Till the Last Minute<\/h2>\n<p>The later you leave your packing, the more stressed you\u2019ll be, and the more likely you\u2019ll leave something vital behind.<\/p>\n<p>Start by making a<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/pre-season-ski-shopping-list\/\"> list of the essentials<\/a> and add anything else you might want on your holiday. This way, you can tick everything off as it goes in the suitcase.<\/p>\n<p>Arriving at your resort to find you\u2019ve forgotten little Alfie\u2019s inhaler or even your favourite pair of goggles is a disaster you want to avoid.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Miss Your Flight<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3311 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min.jpg\" alt=\"A wing of an aeroplane in the sky\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min.jpg 5184w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 5184px) 100vw, 5184px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 5184px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 5184\/3456;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3311\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min.jpg\" alt=\"A wing of an aeroplane in the sky\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min.jpg 5184w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/aeroplane-aircraft-aircraft-wing-62623-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 5184px) 100vw, 5184px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>The race to the airport to reach your waiting sweetheart just in time for take-off may look exciting in films, but in reality it\u2019s just stressful.<\/p>\n<p>In the real world, departure gates are usually closed at least thirty minutes before take-off and leaving it to the last minute is never a good idea. Missing your flight is an expensive mistake to make and can have repercussions on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>To sidestep this nightmare, make sure you have all your travel information in one place so you don\u2019t forget what time you need to leave. Set an alarm on your phone and leave with plenty of time to spare.<\/p>\n<p>To take the stress off your shoulders, booking a transfer to the airport from your ski resort is a good idea, especially if you\u2019re prone to scattiness.<\/p>\n<p>The Alps2Alps transfer drivers will factor traffic and weather conditions into your journey time to make sure you get to the airport in time for your return flight. You can even track their progress in real time and notify us of any changes straight from your phone with our handy new app!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"color-button red\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.batsoft.a2a&amp;hl=en_GB\">DOWNLOAD THE APP HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2>Get Well Fitting Gear<\/h2>\n<p>Well-fitting ski clothing is important for your safety on the slopes. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/tips-protecting-feet-winter\/\">If your ski boots are too big<\/a>, it could impact your skiing and cause accidents. Likewise, if your skis or board aren\u2019t suited to your level or ski style, it could cause you problems.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you get fitted by an experienced ski technician when <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/renting-buying-borrowing-skis-whats-best\/\">buying or renting your skis<\/a> and snowboards so you don\u2019t return home in a plaster cast.<\/p>\n<p>At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/ski-rental\">Alps2Alps ski rental<\/a> shops, we have experienced ski technicians on hand to fit you with the ideal equipment for your needs. If you\u2019re travelling as a family, kids ski equipment is free with a full paying adult! Now there\u2019s no excuse to get properly fitted.<\/p>\n<h2>Learn to Ski Correctly<\/h2>\n<p>This one\u2019s for beginners especially, but even for experienced skiers, a few warm up lessons won\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuring you\u2019ve got the basic technique down is one of the best ways to protect yourself against injuries and accidents. It\u2019s not just broken bones we\u2019re talking about. Skiing novices going it alone risk embarrassing themselves on the slopes with their poor technique. If being judged by seasoned skiers is your idea of a nightmare, take note!<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you pick a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/travel\/ski\/articles\/The-best-ski-resorts-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\">reputable ski school<\/a> with qualified ski instructors to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/ski-lesson-survival-guide\/\">make the most out of your ski lessons.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Bypass a Ski Lift Accident<\/h2>\n<p>Using a ski lift is often the aspect of a ski holiday that fills novice skiers with dread. Although they can look scary, ski lifts are simpler to use than they look.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/types-of-ski-lifts\/\">Different types of lifts<\/a> are easier to handle than others.<\/p>\n<p>Chairlifts are probably the most common type of lift. Whatever you do, make sure you jump off at the right time to avoid a ski lift disaster! It may look alarming, but trust us, taking the plunge and falling is less embarrassing than causing the entire lift to stop to get you down.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to remember is not to click your skis together when you\u2019re in the air. Losing a ski at this stage is not ideal, and depending on where you are, it may not be retrievable!<\/p>\n<p>Another related warning is be careful using your phone whilst on the lift. Although it\u2019s tempting to take a group photo and capture the fun, dropping your phone over the side will definitely put a dampener on things. If you can\u2019t resist the pull of social media, we recommend<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifewire.com\/best-selfie-sticks-4048577\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"broken_link\"> investing in a selfie stick<\/a> to keep your phone secure and capture all the angles!<\/p>\n<p>Top Tip: Don\u2019t get too close to the person in front in the lift line! One of the first rules of ski lift etiquette. Give people space.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Get Ahead of Yourself<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re relatively new to skiing, a common mistake is to try and run before you can walk. After a few productive lessons and confidence flying high, it\u2019s tempting to try your luck at the intriguing black runs.<\/p>\n<p>Attempting difficult runs too soon is a sure-fire way to get yourself into difficulties. Don\u2019t try and impress your friends by bombing it down the mountain before you\u2019re ready. After all, good things come to those who wait!<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Get an Early Start<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3310 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min.jpg\" alt=\"A freshly groomed piste in the Alps\" width=\"3992\" height=\"2242\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min.jpg 3992w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min-768x431.jpg 768w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 3992px) 100vw, 3992px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 3992px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 3992\/2242;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3310\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.alps2alps.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min.jpg\" alt=\"A freshly groomed piste in the Alps\" width=\"3992\" height=\"2242\" srcset=\"http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min.jpg 3992w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min-300x168.jpg 300w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min-768x431.jpg 768w, http:\/\/testwp.alps2alps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/adventure-clouds-cold-358118-min-1024x575.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3992px) 100vw, 3992px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Experienced skiers will know that the early bird catches the worm. (Or the early skier catches the fresh powder!)<\/p>\n<p>If you turn up to the ski area after mid-morning, you\u2019re likely to be met with slushy ski runs and long queues for the lifts. As the slopes are groomed overnight, the best snow is found first thing. If you\u2019re looking for a good time on the slopes, disappointing snow is a disaster you want to avoid at all costs!<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Don\u2019t Go Overboard at Apr\u00e9s Ski<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re sure you\u2019ll want to make the most of the apr\u00e9s ski scene at your resort. A few relaxed drinks in the afternoon or a traditional dinner out with friends is a great way to spend an evening without impacting too much on your sleep.<\/p>\n<p>However. If you decide to go out partying until 4am, you\u2019re skiing is going to suffer. While ten rounds of tequila shots may seem like a fantastic idea at the time, we can assure you it won\u2019t feel like it when you wake up at 11am the next day with a banging headache, minus your passport.<\/p>\n<p>A wild night out has been the downfall of many an over enthusiastic skier. If you\u2019re here for the ski, stick to the soft drinks.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Taxi Scams<\/h2>\n<p>Scams targeting oblivious tourists can be the scourge of the holiday industry. Even the most savvy among us can get caught out from time to time.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid highly inflated taxi fares at the airport, it\u2019s worth pre-booking a ski transfer from the airport to be on the safe side.<\/p>\n<p>Alps2Alps are experts at providing cost-effective ski transfers at bargain prices. Our friendly, English speaking drivers are qualified to get you to your ski resort safely in one piece.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure this year\u2019s ski holiday is the dream you hoped for, and not a nightmare to be forgotten!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alps2alps.com\/en\/ski-transfer-destinations\">Book your ski transfer with Alps2Alps<\/a> to enjoy exclusive discounts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For every friend who swears a ski trip is the ultimate holiday experience, there\u2019s another with a horror story involving broken bones, ski lift faux pas and a whole lot of tears.
