Press Release Summary: Alpine Elements explain that ski holiday bookings have hit an
all time high and explain some possible reasons.

Press Release Body: Two unknowns will likely hit skiers and snowboarders for this
2009 ski season, apart from the immediate credit crunch, which we all know so much
about:

Firstly, there is inflation in the price of oil and the reduction in the number of
flights has also decreased. Secondly, the price of the Euro has also increased.

Worried airlines are hiking flight prices as with the mounting dollar cost of a
barrel of oil, whereas the decreasing flight capacity is taking a toll on the prices
as well.

Even if you can get your hands on an advantageously-priced flight or ski vacation
package for this 2009 season, you would still have to shell out an extra 20-25%
(including inflation) for allied resort costs. These include ski pass, ski guidance
and ski gear hire. These costs would add up to £250 - £300 extra for a group of 4,
with almost £60 added charges per head.

We at Alpine Elements are urging skiers to think about their holidays now. Make
haste while stocks (flights) last, and particularly before any more oil (airfuel)
and currency charges are levied. Make use of the current (reasonable) and fixed
prices for ski holidays

Alpine Elements gives an assurance to the clients who have already booked that they
will not be charged extra because of the increase in the airfuel or currency price
on the base holiday packages. Also, if the customers book their Ski Extras in
advance, then the price can also be fixed accordingly.

Those who will complete their bookings before October will benefit tremendously.
They can get one of the best group discounts along with one of those flights of the
season that are better priced. Not only this, they would surely get the chalet of
their desire if bookings are made early.

Alpine Elements recommends booking the flight as soon as possible because it might
be possible that the market will squeeze because of the increment in the airfuel
price, low availability of flights and rising Euro cost. There has been increase in
demand from enthusiastic skiers who are eager to ski this winter in the high
altitude snow.
