New figures published today by the UK’s largest tour operator,
Crystal, show that last season saw a small overall increase in ski
holidays taken by Brits, after four successive seasons of decline
following the economic crash.
The overall ski market increased by 1% last winter. The overall
number of skiers increased by 5,000 year on year, increasing the number

departures, and an early Easter holiday in March.
