EQUITY SCHOOL SKI LAUNCHES NEW, EDUCATIONALLY RICH SKI PROGRAMME
School ski experts introduce SkiFAST learning, value coach tours and new destinations

Equity School Ski (www.schoolski.co.uk) has launched its new programme for 2009/2010, which now features a unique new SkiFAST programme and educationally rich après-ski programme to develop students' language, culture and PSHE skills. Equity School Ski has already seen a 27% rise in bookings so far this year compared to the same period in 2008 and this looks set to increase further with this brand new programme.

Developed with leading ski schools specifically for school ski groups, SkiFAST sets out a clear learning method for groups to ensure that students develop a thorough working knowledge of skiing and the Alpine environment during their stay. Available in all European Equity School Ski resorts, the programme is split into three stages: Beginners, Intermediates and Advanced, meaning each student can follow the course that is right for them.

The new brochure also includes a new ‘Sloping Off' super-value coach ski tours section. With the same package as Equity School Ski, Sloping Off offers transport by coach with most accommodation situated out of resort which brings down the cost. Available in 20 resorts, many of which are new for 2009/10, the Sloping Off programme offers exceptional value to schools.

The 2009/10 season also sees Equity School Ski enter Norway for the first time. An easy two-hour flight from the UK, the Norway programme focuses on the resorts of Voss and Hafjell, which are large enough to offer variety yet quite compact, making supervision easy. The season in Norway runs from mid October to late May and offers consistently reliable snow, making this a great choice for an early or late ski tour.

Equity School Ski has over 18 years experience in organising school ski tours and the new brochure offers over 60 resorts, 11 of which are new to its portfolio, offering better value for money than ever before. Destinations include Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Norway, Canada and USA.
