Ski Holidays & AccommodationBOOK
May is upon us and it seems that the settled Autumn weather we have been enjoying has now departed as a couple of wintery blasts have made their presence felt over the country. With most of the important outdoor work now completed we welcome some cooler temps especially on the mountain which will help to lower the ground temperature for when the ever important white stuff makes an appearance hopefully in abundance before opening on the 30th June!
The Ski Sales are upon us which also signals the ski season is just around the corner. Be sure to get along as Cheeseman will have stands at both the Snow & Surf and CSA sales this year – see below for details.
Our new online booking system is nearly up and running so stay tuned for more news on this once its live on our website in a couple of weeks time. Members and visitors will now be able to book and pay for Ski Weeks or other accommodation deals online which will vastly streamline this system.
As we depart from Summer we wish to thank those who utilised the Lodges for summer activities, functions and parties. It was certainly as busy summer especially at Forest Lodge with many people enjoying the unique location we have on offer. We already have a number of bookings for next summer already so here’s hoping for even more use of our great facilities over the 2012 – 2013 summer.
This coming weekend there are 2 Ski Sales that Cheeseman is supporting.
