Whistler BRITISH COLUMBIA CANADA

Whistler was host mountain resort for the amazing Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games. One look at this giant winter sports paradise and you’ll understand why.

> The peaks here are vast and the skiing is serious. Whistler and Blackcomb mountains have over 8,000 acres of terrain, with 12 alpine bowls, 3 glaciers and over 200 marked trails - and more slopeside accommodation here than any other North American resort. Both mountains provide a huge range of beginner, intermediate and advanced skiing and snowboarding, and combined with a massive average annual snowfall of over 39 feet, the holiday experience in North America’s largest resort truly is hard to beat. Whistler maintains the pace off the slopes too. It’s not so much a village as a small town with outstanding après-ski and dining options. Whistler has great shopping, some of which can empty your wallet, melt your plastic and scare your bank manager, but Canada still offers superb value for money which is enough to tempt even the most frugal. < Cathy Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

A stop for lunch at the impressive Eagle’s Eye restaurant - arguably one of the best mountain restaurants in North America - is a must for those who wish to rest weary limbs, replenish energy reserves and admire the stunning views.

Tremblant QUEBEC CANADA

An enchanting mountain village in the heart of the Laurentian Mountains. Exceptional value, high quality lodging and superb service are the trademarks of this amazing resort.

Tremblant is a wonderful place for families and those seeking to coax non-skiing partners onto the slopes. Wherever you stay in Tremblant it’s simple and hassle-free: with the exception of a few properties this is a virtually ski-in/ski-out resort.

Inside Track > I first skied Niseko in early March 2011, and had a phenomenal week. The snow just kept falling, and despite daily forecasts of a few centimetres, we often woke up to over a foot. The night skiing is also amazing - skiing powder through the trees at night was very special. And then there’s the food…wow! < Jamie Reservations Consultant

They have a fridge and a sink (wet bar) but no dining area – more like a hotel suite, than a condo. This is a large family-friendly resort with lots of facilities, including an indoor pool with waterslide, men’s and ladies Onsens, a good choice of restaurants and bars, a range of shops, and a unique fairground carousel.

Furano HOKKAIDO JAPAN

The snow falls here in epic proportions, with powder virtually guaranteed! Furano is at the centre of Hokkaido, making the snow even drier than Niseko or Rusutsu.

> Furano resort is spread over two areas - the Furano zone and the Kitanomine zone. The terrain is predominantly suited to good intermediates and novices, with lots of long cruising trails. The snowfall is immense: light, dry and reliable, with the best time to guarantee powder being late December through to mid-March. The local bilingual Furano ski hosts and two excellent ski schools go out of their way to ensure that guests have the best possible on-mountain experience. If that’s not enough then take a daily guided off-piste powder tour to nearby locations including Asahidake - waist-deep powder is not uncommon! Furano is a real ski town with excellent après-ski and lots of activities on offer such as natural hot springs Onsens and snowrafting. There is a decent choice of restaurants and bars in Furano serving everything from steak to sushi. < Vicky Marketing Manager Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Perhaps the world’s most prestigious ski resort, Aspen combines four incredibly varied mountains, a charming mountain town and internationally renowned après-ski.

> The four mountains are all covered by the same lift ticket, linked by an excellent complimentary bus service, and the skiing is simply amazing. Aspen Mountain, in the centre of town, is purely intermediate and expert terrain. Buttermilk is an ideal environment for novice skiers and boarders. The largest ski area is Snowmass at 6 miles across and covering 3,128 acres, and the excellent children’s ski school also has its primary home here. Last but certainly not least, Aspen Highlands is where the big boys go - home to the legendary Highland Bowl. Meanwhile the shopping, eating and drinking extravaganza centred around the town in Aspen is of urban proportions, all packed into eight square blocks. Alternatively, choose to stay at Snowmass where from much of the accommodation you can ski-in/ski-out directly to the slopes, making it an ideal choice for families. < Gordon Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Vail

COLORADO USA

It doesn’t get much better than this. Over 5,000 acres of jaw-dropping terrain, an average 29 feet of snow and more than 300 days of sunshine each year.

> Add to that an internationally renowned après-ski scene and Vail is without doubt one of the very best. With a massive 5,289 acres covered in soft, dry powder and the most groomed terrain on the planet, this is a very special place. The front side has incredible variety, with everything from gentle beginner slopes and rolling corduroy cruisers to moguls, glades and terrain parks. The Back Bowls are where things start getting serious: seven enormous powder bowls stretching six miles across. The final area is Blue Sky Basin, featuring 645 acres of the most awesome gladed terrain, steeps, tree runs and powder stashes you’re likely to find. It is important not to expend all your energy on the mountain. Vail Village and Lionshead are also proud to offer world-class dining, shopping, galleries, après-ski, nightlife and spas - all within a compact pedestrian area. < Michael Managing Director Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Breckenridge COLORADO USA

Quintessential ski town USA. If you are looking for a taste of the North American ski adventure, Breckenridge is the very essence of skiing the American way.

> Peak 6 is new for 2013-14, adding a further 550 acres and bringing Breckenridge’s skiable peaks to five, each over 12,000 feet, with the promise of plentiful quantities of light, dry snow. The skiing caters for all abilities, but with a relatively flattering pitch and an excellent ski school it’s particularly suited to those wanting to improve their skills or for groups of mixed ability. That said, the Imperial Express SuperChair on Peak 8 is the highest lift in North America and serves an area of awe-inspiring advanced and expert bowl terrain. Tree skiing is abundant on each peak, with the gondola from the village to Peaks 7 and 8 enhancing Breckenridge’s reputation for outstanding skiing and minimal queues. Breckenridge is a party town, with almost 80 bars and restaurants it caters for every taste. Everything is very laid back though, and for après there is a choice of Saloon-style bars. < Gordon Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Copper

World-class skiing in an outstanding setting; at 9,712ft it’s one of Colorado’s highest resorts - and as you head up the mountain, the skiing just gets better and better.

> As ski mountains go this is a pretty cool place; superb high alpine terrain that sweeps down in a natural arc to a gentle beginner zone. Whether your idea of a good day on the mountain is three green runs for every hot chocolate stop, or a lunch-less dawn to dusk day, Copper will satisfy. The children’s ski school is first class and there are plenty of options for intermediate cruising, while daring souls are catered for by the high bowls. Copper works hard to impress off the slopes too, and the pedestrian village is compact and has a truly magical feel. Cafés, bars and shops are all laid out around squares where people gather to talk up their on-hill performance, and there are seemingly endless family-focussed activities and offerings to keep everyone happy. < Nikki Reservations Consultant

Steamboat COLORADO USA

‘Champagne Powder’ was coined to describe the amazing snow quality here. With an average 30 feet per year, it has an awesome snow record and superb intermediate terrain.

> Snow falls all night and then clears to Colorado bluebird skies. This is not a once or twice a season jackpot - in Steamboat it’s a regular occurrence. Six peaks comprise the ski area, offering almost 3,000 acres of skiable terrain, and it’s firmly stamped ‘Great for Families’. There is a huge amount of terrain here for all ages and all skill levels, but on a powder day the tree-skiing in Steamboat is like nothing else you’ve ever experienced. Western tradition also sets Steamboat apart from other ski resorts; it’s a ranching town that welcomes you with open arms and has enough small town charm to keep you smiling long after you leave. The old town and the mountain village are three miles apart, with a regular free shuttle bridging the gap. Both offer a great range of restaurants and bars in which to relax after a great day on the slopes. < Vicky Marketing Manager Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Winter Park COLORADO USA

With the best snow record in Colorado at over 33 feet, and huge recent investment, Winter Park is gaining a big reputation on the international scene.

> A short transfer from Denver, amazing value, fantastic skiing and excellent accommodation are only four of the many reasons to come to Winter Park. With over 3,000 acres of terrain to get rowdy on at Winter Park, all levels of skier will feel a tingle of excitement at their first breath of the crisp Colorado air. There are greens and blues throughout the resort to ease the cautious into the joys of skiing, while the tough stuff nearer the peaks and bumps over on Mary Jane provide plenty to challenge even the most accomplished enthusiasts. The mountain village is great for après and quick bites, while downtown (a 10 minute ride on the complimentary buses) offers the best choice of restaurants and bars, before hitting the hay in anticipation of another bluebird day. < Cathy Reservations Consultant

Park City UTAH USA

Without doubt one of our top picks and it’s easy to see why, with regular doses of the world’s lightest, driest powder.

> Park City is Utah’s funkiest resort town. It sits only 45 minutes from Salt Lake City airport and offers three ski areas - Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley and Canyons, which are all accessible on a single lift ticket and linked by a free shuttle. Although Deer Valley and Canyons offer a small range of on-mountain lodging, the main focus for lodging and après-ski is the fantastically attractive town of Park City. Park City is a great mountain for all levels of skier, while Deer Valley offers exclusive skiing only (no snowboarding allowed) and immaculate grooming. Last but certainly not least, Canyons is the biggest of the three areas with an exceptional range of terrain for your skiing or riding pleasure. Heard of the myth that Utah is a dry State? Park City is here to destroy it - this can also be a party town. < Karen Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Mammoth

Just south of Yosemite National Park is Mammoth Mountain, which enjoys one of the most consistent snowfalls of any North American resort - an average of 33 feet!

> At over 11,000 feet, Mammoth hogs the snow and doesn’t give it up. Over 3,500 acres of awesome ski terrain surrounded by a landscape of staggering beauty, Mammoth sits in a corner of California that we highly recommend. The ridge that fans out from Panorama Lookout at the summit sparkles with double diamonds, couloirs, and chutes which open out into vast bowls, steeps and deeps. But if the trail map seems devoid of learner terrain, don’t be deceived - Mammoth is one of North America’s top first-timer destinations. Both the resort base and the town of Mammoth Lakes host a great variety of bars and restaurants. However the truly amazing thing about this area is the geology; Mammoth Mountain is surprisingly a volcano and by virtue of this is surrounded by Hot Springs that one can hop into after a hard day on the mountain. < Gordon Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Jackson Hole

Every pilgrim must visit at least once in their lifetime - it’s the big name in big mountain skiing, with a massive snow record to match.

> If your idea of fun is clipping a caution sign as you dip down into yet another impossibly steep chute, then you have to experience Jackson Hole. Rendezvous Mountain has a reputation for gnarly fall-line black-diamond terrain, served by the iconic Jackson Hole Tram. Après Vous Mountain is the gentler companion - a place to go when you have been humbled. Despite being known for its advanced skiing, they’ve made a real effort to expand the intermediate terrain, and it shows. The fantastic town of Jackson Hole is serviced by a regular shuttle. If the town trades on its Western heritage then that’s just fine - it has plenty of it. There is also a centre at the base of the mountain, Teton Village, which has exceptional accommodation. Ultimately, it’s your choice - the convenience of staying on-mountain or the atmosphere of being downtown. < Nicole Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

STOWE VERMONT | SUNDAY RIVER MAINE | KILLINGTON VERMONT

Amazing value, a short ﬂight, Eastern USA charm and great stopover options set these resorts apart - perfect for families or for your ﬁrst taste of skiing stateside.

> The three resorts that we feature here all offer exceptional value, great ski schools and ideal terrain for beginner and intermediate skiers. Killington is the largest at 1,209 acres, with gentlysloped mountains offering ample opportunity even for beginners to ski right from the top. The town is spread out with plenty of dining and drinking options. Sunday River is an entirely slopeside resort, with eight peaks of snowy trails. 92% snow making coverage ensures that cover is available all season long, and the nearby town of Bethel expands the dining options and gives a taste of New England charm. Stowe gets more than its fair share of snow, and it is home to some of the most famous runs east of the Rockies...but what sets Stowe apart is its 18th century village. This is the quintessential New England town, surrounded by the undulating peaks of Vermont's Green Mountains. < Nick Product Manager Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Chamonix/Chamonix Valley 1040-3842m 113/463km Chamonix/Chamonix Valley

> With the majestic Mont Blanc towering above, the extensive Chamonix Valley ski area is renowned for its high altitude skiing ranging from extreme off-piste terrain to gentle green runs. Advanced skiers will love the famous ‘Vallée Blanche’ (a guide is strongly recommended). Courmayeur and Verbier are also accessible on some Mont Blanc unlimited passes. As well as being a mecca for expert and adventurous skiers, Chamonix also has a lively après-ski scene which starts on the sun terraces of the bars at the base of the slopes and continues in town into the early hours. The smaller neighbouring resorts of Argentière, Les Houches and Vallorcine are quieter and benefit from being at the foot of the slopes. A must for everyone is to take the Aiguille du Midi cable car up to 3800m to see the spectacular Mont Blanc. < Tracey Ski Groups Manager Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

> With a massive 600km of immaculately groomed pistes and a first class lift connection to the other valleys, Courchevel offers some of the best skiing in France. Nestled amid pine trees, the main village at 1850m is arguably the most sophisticated resort in France, with a variety of restaurants, bars and boutique shops. The village at 1650m offers direct access to its own great ski area and a more informal atmosphere. Courchevel is the most extensive valley within the vast Three Valley area, with excellent beginner slopes above both 1650 and 1850 and a vast selection of blues and reds for intermediates. Expert skiers and boarders will love the amount of challenging blacks, including the steep couloirs at the top of the Saulire. Reflecting the cosmopolitan resort you will find a collection of gourmet restaurants and enticing bars in the resorts. < Cathy Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

Inside Track > I recommend getting up to the top of Saulire as early as you can and take the “Creux Rouge” to blow away any cobwebs! It’s usually groomed to perfection and super wide. For a bit more of a cruise, the runs over in 1650 provide long, wide blues and a lunch stop at the “Bel Air” is a must. < Andy Reservations Consultant

La Rosière ESPACE SAN BERNARDO FRANCE

Perched at 1850m on a south-facing balcony, La Rosière breaks the mould of high altitude ski resorts with its beautiful, traditional Savoyard architecture.

> In the heart of the Haute Tarentaise, La Rosière has an enviable position on the French-Italian border and is linked with the Italian resort of La Thuile. With over 150km of pistes, south-facing La Rosière has a good snow record and a large selection of sunny slopes for all abilities. The friendly, relaxed village is built in an attractive traditional chalet-style with bars, shops and restaurants nearby. La Rosière is a great choice for beginners, with dedicated slopes easily accessible at Les Eucherts and the resort centre. La Rosière’s lower slopes are mainly cruisy blues and greens ideal for early intermediates. The upper slopes below Le Roc Noir and Col de la Traversette offer steeper, interesting reds and La Thuile has some great intermediate skiing. Expert skiers and riders can enjoy some guided off piste terrain, or even heli-skiing just over the Italian border. < Anna Product Support Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

The picturesque village of Zermatt lies at the foot of the majestic Matterhorn and has arguably the best panoramic views of any ski resort in the world.

The traffic-free resort is accessed by a 20 minute railway ride, and transport around the resort is by electric taxi or horse and carriage. Zermatt’s ski area is based on three areas overlooking the iconic Matterhorn and boasts the highest ski lift in Europe at 3885m. A trip over to Cervinia is a must and the runs from the top of Plateau Rosa are superb. For the more avid skier the runs from the top of Stockhorn provide some of the best bump skiing to be had, while the off-piste is exhilarating and has a world-class reputation. Lively can often be an understatement in Zermatt and a beer at the Hennu Stall Hutte on the way down from Furi is a must! < Andy Reservations Consultant Our Rating Beginner Intermediate Advanced

For Canada, Japan and USA, LOW season prices are based on early December 2013, MID season prices are based on 5 March 2014, and HIGH season prices are based on 28 December 2013.

Conﬁrmed Bookings

Accommodation Ratings *****

To change an option or quotation into a confirmed booking you will be required to pay a deposit as detailed below. Deposit amounts may be higher if we have to make nonrefundable commitments on your behalf at the time of booking. This will be fully explained to you at the time of booking. USA/Canada/Japan: A deposit of £150 per person, or 15% of the holiday price, whichever is greater. Europe: A deposit of £75 per person for apartments, £150 per person for hotel bookings, or 20% of the holiday price, whichever is greater. Once your booking has been processed you will receive by email a ‘booking confirmation’ together with a booking form, details on baggage allowances, an APIS (Advance Passenger Information) form (if relevant), and full information on discounted ski extras, such as lift tickets, equipment rentals and snowschool lessons. At this stage we require you to sign and return our booking form. Our booking conditions, detailed on page 242, come into force when we issue our booking confirmation. They also give information about charges for changes and cancellations.

We have used our own common-sense star rating for each of our featured properties. It is NOT a price guide, nor is it based on the facilities on oﬀer, but is our own personal assessment of the standard of the property compared to others in the market we know. Additional pictures, information and descriptions on each brochured accommodation appear on our website.

Insurance Under no circumstances should you travel without comprehensive ski insurance cover. Due to a change in government regulation we are no longer able to provide ski insurance. Instead this process is now handled directly by our supplier MPI Brokers. Whilst we are not allowed to recommend a policy to you, we can introduce you to our broker - MPI Brokers. The policy oﬀered by MPI Brokers meets our booking conditions on insurance. If you do not purchase the MPI policy it is a booking condition that you provide us with details of your alternative policy oﬀering similar cover. To obtain a quote by phone please call MPI Brokers on 0845 180 0055 and mention Ski Independence. Ski Independence is an introducer of Michael Pettifer Insurance Brokers Limited t/a MPI Brokers, who are authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Ski Independence does not advise on any insurance products.

What’s included? Our holidays are tailor-made to match your requirements. What is, and is not included in your holiday will be explained at the time of booking and detailed on your holiday booking conﬁrmation. Below is a general, non-exhaustive list which will vary according to the complexity of the booking made on your behalf. Please ask if you are unsure:

USA/Canada/Japan • Return flight tickets to your destination - economy class unless stated • All airport charges, flight taxes and fuel surcharges • Accommodation as reserved, inclusive of any meal arrangement detailed, plus all local taxes, service charges and resort fees (unless specifically excluded) • Return airport to resort transfers or self-drive car rental as reserved • Services of our local resort rep where available and 24 hour UK emergency contact • Consumer Protection through our CAA (ATOL) Licence 0749, or membership of ABTA V3690

Europe • Travel arrangements (where applicable) • Return flight tickets to your destination - economy class unless stated • All airport charges, flight taxes and fuel surcharges.

Slopeside Accommodation In our accommodation descriptions the word ‘slopeside’ indicates properties that are either ski-in/ski-out or within 100m walk of the slopes. Our accommodation descriptions detail the speciﬁc location of each property.

Children USA/Canada/Japan: Children are defined for airline purposes as being between 2 and 11 years old on the date of return travel. Infants are defined as being under 2 years on the date of return and pay a flat fee for their air travel (subject to the specific airline, cabin type and date of travel). This fee does not qualify them for a seat - if you want your infant to have their own seat then a child’s air fare will apply. Accommodation in hotels is usually free for children when sharing with parents. In condominiums it depends on the size of the accommodation and number of occupants. There is generally a nominal charge for infant cots. Skycots must be pre-booked and are only suitable for infants under 6 months who weigh less than 12kgs (subject to availability). Child prices for equipment rentals, ski lift tickets and snowschool lessons will be sent to you with your holiday confirmation invoice (or before should you wish to budget in advance). And remember - kids ski FREE in many of our resorts! Europe: There is no child discount on air fares to Europe. Infants are defined as being under 2 years on the date of return and pay a flat fee for their air travel (subject to the specific airline, cabin type and date of travel). This fee does not qualify them for a seat - if you want your infant to have their own seat then an adult air fare will apply. For hotel accommodation there is a charge for children sharing with parents. In apartments it depends on the size of the accommodation and number of occupants. There is generally a nominal charge for infant cots. Child prices for equipment rentals, ski lift tickets and snowschool lessons will be sent to you with your holiday confirmation invoice (or before should you wish to budget in advance). Take advantage of our ‘Kids Ski Free’ offer in all our French resorts. This entitles a child, aged 11 years or under, to free ski hire for every adult hiring qualifying equipment (minimum durations and equipment types apply).

Special Requests If you have a special request - such as number or type of beds, connecting rooms, or a specific view - please ensure that this is conveyed to our reservations staff clearly at the time of booking. If the ‘special request’ is critical to your booking, we’ll make a clear statement to you about the availability of your request on your holiday booking confirmation or in a separate letter.

2. Before you go Seats on the Aircraft USA/Canada/Japan: We automatically reserve seats on the aircraft for you at time of booking where our airline partners allow this facility. We cannot easily select specific seats. Europe: There is a charge for all pre-booked seats on most low cost carriers to Europe, though charges and terms and conditions vary between airlines. For details on British Airways see below. For British Airways: all passengers have the option of paying in advance for pre-assigned seating, up until 24 hours prior to departure. To do this, call our reservations team on 0131 243 8097 and we’ll take payment from you for the flight portion of your chosen holiday. We will then issue your flight tickets and give you your BA booking reference number. To pre-purchase specific seating please then go to www.ba.com and follow the link under the ‘Manage my Booking’ section. Payment can be made by credit card. If you are a BA Executive Club member (Silver or above) you will be able to pre-book seats in advance. For all bookings that include infants, seats will be allocated to you at time of booking. For bookings that include children, BA will automatically pre-allocate seats 72 hours before your flight departs - however, you can only alter these seats when on-line check-in opens 24 hours prior to flight departure. For everyone else, the only way to select a seat without charge is by checking in online from 24 hours before departure. Most airlines only allow a certain percentage of seating to be pre-assigned. Once this limit is reached, the remaining seats can only be allocated by the airline at check-in

SKI INDEPENDENCE THE TAILOR-MADE SKI SPECIALISTS

Seats on the Aircraft continued (Bulkhead and Exit Row seats are normally allocated at check-in. Some airlines will allow these seats to be pre-purchased in advance. Sadly, having pre-assigned seating is no guarantee that the airline will honour the seats we have booked - they may be automatically cancelled if there is a change in schedule, aircraft type or flight number. Occasionally, if the flight is heavily overbooked, the airline will cancel all pre-assigned seating and re-allocate them at check-in. For these reasons we cannot unfortunately accept responsibility for the failure of an airline to honour seating requests. Frequent flyer cards will sometimes give priority with seat allocation. Airline Baggage Allowances The baggage allowance on scheduled European, Transatlantic and Far-Eastern routes varies by airline and class of travel, though generally you are allowed one piece of free checked baggage, between 20kg and 32kg. Information on the baggage limits specific to your chosen airline will be sent with your booking confirmation and travel documents. Allowances for European low cost carriers, and for North American carriers for separate domestic tickets within North America will be explained to you at time of booking as charges apply for all items of baggage.

Frequent ﬂyer cards If you or any of your party have a frequent ﬂyer card applicable for the airline with which you are travelling, please let us know the number(s) and we’ll add these to your booking.

Dietary Requirements If you have any special dietary requirements, please make this clear to staﬀ when booking, as we must pre-book special meals in advance with each airline (if available).

Smoking

required to register with the US government online at least 72 hours prior to travel. This programme (ESTA) is mandatory for all visa-free travel. New registrations will require the same information as the Visa Waiver Programme I-94 card, which is currently ﬁlled out by visitors to the US and turned in to customs on arrival in the country. Details on how to apply for ESTA will be sent to you with your holiday booking conﬁrmation. Please note: There is now a fee payable for this service.

Visas British Citizens do not need a visa to visit other European countries. British Citizens do not need a visa to enter the USA, Canada or Japan providing your stay is no longer than 90 days duration. For entry to the USA, British Citizens will be issued with the appropriate Visa Waiver forms, either at check-in or on board the aircraft. Full details of the requirements and restrictions are given on www.usembassy.org.uk, click on ‘Visas to the US’, then on ‘Visa Waiver Programme (VWP)’. It is your responsibility to ensure that you comply with the entry requirements. On arrival in the USA all visitors will have their index fingers scanned and a photo taken to verify their identity. If you were born in the USA and are travelling on a passport other than a US one, then you must carry a ‘Loss of Nationality letter’ with you. For information contact the US Embassy. Entry forms for Canada will be issued on board the aircraft. If you are travelling to Canada with any children who do not have the same family name or as a single parent with your children then you must carry a letter confirming your right to be travelling with them. For information contact the Canadian High Commission on www.canada.org.uk. Entry forms for Japan will be issued on board the aircraft. For information contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan on http://210.163.22.165/index.html and then click on ‘visa’. If you are not a British Citizen or are unsure about visa requirements, you must contact the appropriate Embassy Visa Department without delay. Unfortunately, Ski Independence cannot answer any questions or provide advice on any immigration issues.

Smoking is not permitted in most public places including restaurants, airports and some bars. Most hotels, apartments, condos and private homes are now either completely non-smoking or have very few smoking rooms available. Where available, these rooms can be requested in advance, although often cannot be guaranteed. All ﬂights are 100% non-smoking. In Japan, smoking is much more common-place, and in most hotels there are actually very few non-smoking rooms.

British Citizens need a valid full 10 year machine-readable passport to travel to Europe. The USA, Canada and Japan require a valid full 10 year machine-readable passport with a minimum of three months validity left from the date of arrival in the country. Children must have their own passport and can no longer travel on their parents’ passport.

Alcohol

Health and Travel Advice

Passports

In the USA, if you are under 21 you cannot be served alcoholic drinks and will be refused entry to bars and clubs. In Canada the rule applies to those under 19 and in Japan, under 20 years. As old as you may feel or look, you are still likely to be asked for photo ID, normally a passport or similar, so carry this with you at all times in North America. European restrictions are more relaxed.

No compulsory vaccinations are needed for Canada, USA, Japan, Switzerland, France or Austria. You are recommended to read the Department of Health leaflet ‘The Travellers Guide to Health’. Please advise our staff at the time of booking if you have a condition that either we, the airline, or our resort staff should know about. Travel advice is obtainable from www.fco.gov.uk/travel.

Discounted Ski ‘Extras’

Brochure and Documentation

We are never knowingly beaten on price! We make every eﬀort to bring you the lowest pre-paid ski lift tickets, snowschool lessons, equipment rentals and child care. Guide prices and an on-line booking facility appear on our website www.ski-i.com. Full information and prices for your chosen resort, plus a separate booking form, will be sent with your holiday booking conﬁrmation.

3. Travel Requirements APIS Advance Passenger Information All airlines must now adhere to the Advance Passenger Information System (APIS), which requires the collection of specific information from every passenger travelling to Europe, USA, Canada and Japan. This information is required for aviation safety and security purposes. Passengers must supply Advance Passenger Information prior to, or at the time of check-in or they will not be allowed to travel. It is also important that the information is accurate, to avoid delays when passing through Immigration on arrival. In order to ease the airport check-in process, we ask you to provide us with the following information for each passenger: Name (as shown on passport), Gender, Date of Birth, Country of Residence, Nationality, Passport Number, Passport Expiry Date, and Passport Country of Issue. You can give us this information by completing the forms enclosed with your holiday booking confirmation, or by sending us a photocopy of each passenger’s passport details. We’ll add the information to each individual flight booking on your behalf. The addition of APIS information to your flight booking well before departure means you will be able to take advantage of on-line or self-service check-in facilities (where available). All APIS information given to us is then passed, via our airline partners, to the relevant European, US, Canadian or Japanese control authorities - returning the APIS form to us implies that you consent to the above information flow. If you are travelling to the USA and Japan, we’ll also add the full name and address of your first night’s accommodation to your flight booking, as required by their Immigration Authorities. If you have any queries about APIS please call us on 0131 243 8097. All passport and APIS information is shredded and securely disposed of after use.

ESTA Electronic System for Travel Authority The USA has tightened visa restrictions to allow it to screen all short-term visitors from Japan and Western Europe. Visitors to the US who do not need visas will be

Part of the process of ensuring a great holiday is to provide you with accurate and detailed information. Please take time to read the brochure pages relevant to your destination, this ‘Important Information’ section and any booking conﬁrmations and documentation we send you. Every year a few clients arrive at the airport on the wrong day, or have given us a wrong name, or are not aware they’re sharing a room. If you require any clariﬁcation, please just call us on 0131 243 8097.

Changes The names on your holiday booking confirmation must bear the same title, first name and surname as your passport. Contact us immediately if this is not the case - airlines do not permit name changes. To change a name, title or spelling of a name will, in almost every case, involve cancelling the existing passenger and booking another seat (if one is available) and if tickets have been issued then this could involve heavy charges - see ‘Amendments and Cancellations’ in our booking conditions. If you alter your arrangements before you depart, then this will incur charges as set out in Section 2 of the booking conditions on page 242. If you alter your arrangements after you depart from the UK, then you may have to pay additional costs locally. Please also appreciate that the majority of our contracts do not permit refunds for services cancelled or altered without considerable notice so refunds for unused car rental, flight tickets, transfers, ski lift tickets and other services are rarely possible.

Data Protection Statement Please be assured that we have measures in place to protect the personal booking information held by us. This information will be passed on to the principal and to the relevant suppliers of your travel arrangements. The information may also be provided to public authorities such as customs or immigration if required by them, or as required by law. Certain information may also be passed on to security or credit checking companies. We’ll only pass your information on to persons responsible for your travel arrangements. This applies to any sensitive information that you give to us such as details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious requirements. (If we cannot pass this information to the relevant suppliers, whether in the EEA or not, then we’ll be unable to provide your booking. In making this booking, you consent to this information being passed on to the relevant person.) Full details of our data protection policy are available upon request.

SKI INDEPENDENCE THE TAILOR-MADE SKI SPECIALISTS

Booking Conditions Validity The holidays covered by this booking form operate within the period 1 November 2013 to 15 May 2014.

Changes to Price, Brochure and Website Details We reserve the right to make changes to and correct errors in advertised prices and other information at any time before your holiday is conﬁrmed. We’ll advise you of any error of which we are aware and of the then applicable price at the time of booking. You must therefore check all details of your chosen holiday (including the price) with us at the time of booking.

Deposits USA/Canada/Japan: To conﬁrm your booking we require a deposit of £150 per person or 15% of the holiday price, whichever is greater.* Europe: To conﬁrm a booking we require a deposit of £75 per person for apartment bookings, £150 per person for hotel bookings or 20% of the holiday price, whichever is greater.* *Deposit amounts may be higher if we have to make nonrefundable commitments for you at the time of booking. Don’t worry, we’ll tell you in good time if this is the case

Payment The balance of your holiday cost must reach us no later than 10 weeks before departure. This date is shown on your holiday booking conﬁrmation. In the case of bookings made within ten weeks of departure full payment must be made at the time of booking. If we do not receive all payments due in full and on time, we are entitled to assume that you wish to cancel your booking. In this case, we’ll be entitled to keep all deposits paid or due at that date. If we do not cancel straight away because you have promised to make payment, you must pay the cancellation charges detailed below depending on the date we reasonably treat your booking as cancelled. All monies you pay to one of our authorised travel agents for your holiday with us will be held by the agent on our behalf until they are paid to us or refunded to you. If you chose to pay your holiday balance by credit card (excluding Amex) we’ll charge a 1.5% fee for all transactions. All balance payments made by Amex card will be subject to a 2% fee.

Your Contract A binding contract between us comes into existence when we issue our holiday booking conﬁrmation to the party leader or your travel agent. This contract and all matters arising out of it are governed by Scottish law. If you live in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, proceedings may be brought in the Courts of your home country and in this event, you may choose to have your contract governed by the law of England or Wales/Northern Ireland as applicable. In all cases, any dispute, claim or other matter which arises out of or in connection with this contract or your holiday may be dealt with under the ABTA Arbitration Scheme (see below).

Amendments and Cancellations 1. By Us Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations to confirmed holidays, we must reserve the right to do so. Most changes are minor. Occasionally, we have to make a ‘significant change’. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we’ll tell you as soon as possible. If there is time to do so before departure, we’ll offer you the choice of the following options (the options below are not available where any change made is a minor one): a. accepting the changed arrangements. b. purchasing an alternative holiday from us of the same standard to that originally booked if available. If the only alternatives available are at a higher cost than originally booked then we’ll require payment of the additional costs. If this holiday is cheaper than the original one, we’ll refund the price difference. c. cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us. If we have to make a significant change or cancel, we’ll pay you the compensation set out below subject to the following exceptions. Compensation will not be payable and no liability beyond offering the above mentioned choices can be accepted where we are forced to make a change or cancel as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which we could not have avoided even with all due care. No compensation will be payable and the above options will not be available if we cancel as a result of your failure to comply with any requirement of these booking conditions entitling us to cancel (such as paying on time) or if the change made is a minor one.

Period of notiﬁcation before departure More than 8 weeks Within 8 weeks Within 6 weeks Within 4 weeks Within 2 weeks

Compensation per adult Nil £20 £30 £40 £50

2. By You Should you decide to alter your booking after our confirmation has been issued we’ll do our best to accommodate you. If any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person may transfer their place to someone else (introduced by you) providing we are notified not less than two weeks before departure. Where a transfer to a person of your choice can be made, or where we are able to make an alteration at your request, all costs and charges incurred by us and/or incurred or imposed by any of our suppliers as a result together with an amendment fee of £25 must be paid before the transfer or alteration can be effected. For flight inclusive bookings, you must pay the charges levied by the airline concerned. As most airlines do not permit name changes after flights have been held for any reason, these charges are likely to be the full cost of the flight. If you cancel your booking prior to departure then the following charges will apply: 70 or more days Loss of deposit From 43 to 69 days 35% of holiday cost From 31 to 42 days 50% of holiday cost 75% of holiday cost From 22 to 30 days 21 days or less 100% of holiday cost Where the cancellation charge is shown as a percentage, this is calculated on the basis of the total cost payable by the person(s) cancelling excluding any amendment charges. Amendment fees are not refundable in the event of the person(s) to whom they apply cancelling. Notice of cancellation must be received in writing and will be effective when it is received by us. Clients are strongly recommended to take out travel insurance offering protection against cancellation. Where any cancellation reduces the number of full paying party members below the number on which the price, number of free places and/or any concessions agreed for your booking were based, we’ll recalculate these items and re-invoice you accordingly.

Complaints and Disputes In the unlikely event that you have any reason to complain or experience any problems with your holiday whilst away, you must immediately inform the supplier of the service(s) in question, or Ski Independence. You should then follow up any complaint in writing to us within 28 days of your return to the UK. For all complaints and claims which do not involve death, personal injury or illness, we regret we cannot accept liability for any complaints that are not notiﬁed entirely in accordance with this clause. Disputes arising out of, or in connection with this contract which cannot be amicably settled may be referred to arbitration if you so wish under a special scheme arranged by the Association of British Travel Agents and administered independently by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration on documents alone with restricted liability on the customer in respect of costs. Full details will be provided on request or can be obtained from the ABTA website (www.abta.com). This scheme does not apply to claims for an amount greater than £5,000 per person. There is also a limit of £25,000 per booking form. Neither does it apply to claims which are solely in respect of physical injury or illness or their consequences. The Scheme can however deal with compensation claims which include an element of minor injury or illness subject to a limit of £1000 on the amount the arbitrator can award per person in respect of this element. The application for arbitration and statement of claim must be received by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators within 9 months of the date of return from the holiday. Outside this time limit arbitration under the Scheme may still be available if we agree, although the ABTA Code does not require such agreement.

Force Majeure Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or aﬀected by or you otherwise suﬀer any damage or loss (as more fully described in ‘Liability’ below) as a result of ‘force majeure’. In these Booking Conditions, ‘force majeure’ means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in

question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, ﬁre and all similar events outside our control.

Liability 1. We promise to make sure that all parts of the holiday we have agreed to arrange, perform or provide as part of our contract with you are arranged, performed or provided with reasonable skill and care. We’ll accept responsibility if any death, personal injury, failure or deficiency of your holiday arrangements is caused by any failure by ourselves or our employees (providing they were at the time acting within the course of their employment) or our agents or suppliers (as applicable) to use reasonable skill and care in performing or providing the service in question. Please note it is your responsibility to show that reasonable skill and care has not been used if you wish to make a claim. We’ll not be responsible for any injury, illness, death, loss (for example loss of enjoyment), damage, expense, cost or other sum or claim of any description whatsoever which results from any of the following: a the fault of the person(s) affected or any member(s) of their party or b the fault of a third party not connected with the provision of your holiday which we could not have predicted or avoided or c an event or circumstance which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not have predicted or avoided even after taking all reasonable care (see Force Majeure above) d the fault of anyone who is not carrying out work for us (generally or in particular) at the time. 2. Where any claim or part of a claim concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, rail or road carrier or any stay in a hotel, the maximum amount of compensation we’ll have to pay you will be limited. The most we’ll have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or hotel keeper concerned would have to pay under the international convention which applies to the travel arrangements or hotel stay in question (for example, the Montreal Convention, the Warsaw Convention as amended for international travel by air and/or for airlines with an operating licence granted by an EU country, the EU Regulation on Air Carrier Liability for national and international travel by air, the Athens convention for international travel by sea). When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question. If you or any member of your party suffers illness, injury or death, through misadventure, as a result of an activity which does not form part of your contracted holiday arrangements, we’ll provide you with all reasonable assistance. This assistance may include our making a contribution towards your initial legal costs in taking action against the person(s) responsible providing you request this within 90 days of the incident in question. All assistance (financial or otherwise) is subject to our reasonable discretion and a maximum total cost to ourselves of £5,000 per booking form. If you are entitled to have any costs and expenses arising from such an incident met by or from any insurance policy or if you obtain a costs order against anyone in relation to the incident, you must repay to us the costs and expenses we spend in assisting you. If we, or the suppliers identified on your ATOL certificate, are unable to provide the services listed (or a suitable alternative, through an alternative ATOL holder or otherwise) for reasons of insolvency, the Trustees of the Air Travel Trust may make a payment to (or confer a benefit on) you under the ATOL scheme. You agree that in return for such a payment or benefit you assign absolutely to those Trustees any claims which you have or may have arising out of or relating to the non-provision of the services, including any claim against us.
