The Association of SnowSports Countries (ASC) is working with some of the UK's leading tour operators to offer this package. Holidays must be booked through one of the seven following tour operators: Thomson Ski, Neilson, Inghams, First Choice Snow, Erna Low, Crystal Ski, and Airtours.
The countries participating in the scheme include Austria, Andorra, Canada, Finland, France, Norway, and Switzerland. Some of Europe's most popular resorts are participating in Freshers' Ski Week, including Austria's Kitzbühel, Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, Seefeld, and Niederau; France's Val Thorens, Courchevel, Chamonix, Les Arcs, La Plagne, and Tignes, and Switzerland's Villars, Zermatt, Engelberg, and Verbier.
This offer is open to 1,000 genuine first-time skiers from either January 17 or 24, 2009. Participants must be 18 years or older and be prepared to pay for the standard cost of a package holiday. Visit the Freshers Ski Week Web site for more information or to register your interest.

I have to say that the booking experience with Crystalski has not been a good one to date, for various reasons. We have a party of 8 going to Val Thorens most of the party are going to be there for the first time so any future information regarding such schemes, that would enhance our experience, would be welcomed. After two years in the same resort, and same accommodation, we will probably try a different venue next year!!
