The UK authorities are hopeful that they will be ready to issue biometric passports by this deadline however you are advised to check regularly with UK Passport Office and the US Embassy as to the latest entry reuirements to the USA.
Representatives in Resort - Because of the flexible nature of our Ski America programme we don't always have a representative in your accommodation but you will be able to contact us at all times through our agents service desk in the hotels or our 24hrs emergency help line.
Accommodation - Hotel rooms contain a variety of different bed combinations. But generally contain 2 double or 2 Queen beds, or 1 King bed. Condominiums (condos) have 1 or 2 bedrooms, a living room with sofabed, a kitchen and a bathroom. Using the sofabed reduces the cost per person. In a 1 bedroom the maximum occupancy is 4. In a 2 bedroom the maximum occupancy is 6. Some condos have left areas with single split level or multi pull down beds.
Drinking Age - The legal drinking age is USA 21 and Canada 18 or 19. Drinking laws are more strictly enforced and photo ID is required to purchase alcohol in bars and stores.
Group bookings - We are happy to arrange trips for any size of group. Resorts, hotels and airlines have minimum numbers to be able to benefit from their excellent group rates. Please call 01273 648222 for further information and costing. Every hotel and condominium building will have masses of space and excellent facilities, very often including an enormous swimming pool. Typically there will be saunas, steam rooms, health suites with gyms, games rooms with video, TV and playstations, and handsome lounges with a roaring open fire. Some hotels are almost resorts in their own right.
Tipping - Americans tip larger and more frequently than we do in the UK. Tips range between 10% and 15% of the total bill. It is also customary to tip in bars. If you are not satisfied with the service do not tip, but, expect to be politely questioned.
City Add Ons - These include room only accommodation and are based on 2 people sharing a room with either one or two queen/double beds. Transfers to and from the airport and your city hotel are not included but are easy and inexpensive to arrange using airport buses or taxis.
