DIY vs Package Ski Holidays. Which One Is Actually Cheaper?

For the longest time I was convinced that a DIY ski trip was the cheaper option. It feels more budget friendly at first glance. The road trip, a simple self catered apartment (especially if you can share a bigger one with another family or friends), easy home cooked meals, and the satisfaction of having planned it all yourself. I genuinely thought that putting the pieces together on my own would always save money. After doing so many versions of both DIY and package ski holid

Are Weekend Ski Trips Actually Any Cheaper Than a Week Long Break?

A quick ski weekend sounds like the perfect mini-getaway: a few days on the slopes, alongside some fun Apres ski, and a break from the usual routine. The assumption is though that fewer days means spending less, but that's not always the case. Flights, transfers, lift passes, and weekend surcharges can quietly add up, sometimes making a short ski trip almost as expensive as a full week. The good news is that with a little planning, you can still enjoy a weekend in the mountai

Ski Safety with Kids: 4 Essentials Every Parent Needs to Teach Before Hitting the Slopes

Skiing with little ones can be both thrilling and slightly nerve-racking. There’s nothing quite like seeing your children gain confidence on the snow, but it also comes with that natural parental instinct to keep them safe. Before every ski trip, we make sure to talk to our boys about mountain safety. It’s not a long or serious chat, just a simple reminder that being safe helps everyone have more fun. The key is keeping it light and memorable. When the lessons make sense to t

The Hidden Costs of Ski Holidays (and How to Avoid Them)

You think you’ve found a bargain ski holiday, only to discover you’re going to have to pay hundreds, if not thousands, more once you factor in all the extras. Things like airport transfers, hold luggage, ski passes, equipment hire, and even food in resort can all add up fast. But don’t worry, there are ways to keep costs under control without sacrificing the fun. Airport Transfers Transfers can be a big hidden expense. Coach companies like Ben’s Bus are great for low-cost tr

What Your Kids Actually Need to Wear to Go Skiing

When you’re planning a family ski trip, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the gear out there. Kids grow so quickly, and ski clothing isn’t exactly cheap. Do they need multiple pairs of thermals? Should you double up socks? What about fancy accessories? We’ve been through it with our two boys, and here’s what we’ve learnt about what your kids actually need to wear on the slopes, and what you can skip. Start with the right base: thermals Thermals are your best friend on a ski

Pack with us - Skiing 🎿

For our first ski trip of the ski season and we are so excited to be getting back on the slopes!

We have 3 nights in a ski resort that is defo up there with one of the best ski areas in the world. We’re going to be staying in a catered chalet on this trip just Simon and I without our boys who are at our home with my Mum and Stepdad.

We’ll be sharing daily stories of what we’re up to in real time but as always, our reels will be a few days delayed.

Let us know where you think we’re heading in the comments and hit follow if you want to see everything we get up to on this trip.

3 Simple hacks to make your ski gear last longer 🎿

We like to invest in decent ski gear for maximum warmth, waterproofness and breathability making skiing much more comfortable so we want it to last as long as possible.

Simple things like this take no time at all and really work.

Nylon patches are great for fixing small rips in your outers but they can’t be washed or ironed so if you wash your ski pants, just add a new patch over the rip after, theres loads of tape in the box. They also come in other colours if you don’t want it to stand out against your trousers.

Shoo goo is great for both fixing where the base of your boot might have come loose but you can also use it in thin layers to re-waterproof them too. Clean the area with alcoh0l, roughen with some sandpaper, spray with water, apply goo and pull and push the two sides together to bond. You can smear layers over it once its fixed to seal and make it fully waterproof.

Using a normal detergent on your ski outers will damage the waterproof membrane, reduce waterproofing and breathability, ruin the coating, cause residue to build up in the fabric - stopping your gear from breathing and making you gross and sweaty and it makes reproofing less effective. Nikwax restores water repellency and revives breathability - I like to do this at the beginning of the season so all our gear is fresh and ready.

Comment FIX and we’ll send you the link of where to find these products.

DIY vs Package ski holidays - which is actually cheaper?

To me it seemed obvious that a self catered ski holiday would be cheaper than going for the ease of a package one, I mean driving ourselves and booking a self-catered apartment sounds budget-friendly, until we really totted up the holiday extras…

Lift passes and equipment hire to airport parking and transfers (or tolls, ferry and petrol), the hidden costs of DIY add up quickly.

Our Top Ski Company Recommendations for great value package holidays:
- Heidi - we booked a bargain trip to Serre Chevalier with them last Christmas
- Sunweb - include ski passes in all thier holidays - LOVE THIS
- Crystal - we’ve had some great deals with Crystal including free lift passes, free kids places and free equipment hire too!

Get ready with me for the ski season🎿

The snow’s here and we are mega excited to go skiing on Monday, so it’s time to have a proper sort through all the ski gear thats been in the loft for 7 months.

We defo need to get some new bits for the kids who have grown out of lots of stuff, fix some bits that have some life left in them but are a bit damaged and re waterproof all our outer gear ready to get wet.

Spend every Sunday with us till 2026 - part one

We’re starting a new Sunday series because I’m tired of travel accounts that look like no one ever does laundry or negotiates every time with their kids about leaving the house.

We’ve got back to back ski trips coming up and I want to show the whole picture, the real bits that happen behind the camera to make this happen: the gym classes I need to keep me sane, the craziness of packing and getting ready before, during and on this trips, the Christmas tree we put up early because we’re only home for about 4 days in December, and the Sundays where we’re away on this trips too.

Every Sunday until 2026, I’ll show the behind-the-scenes that keeps our life running between all the adventures and on the adventures if we’re away too.

It’s like a anti-aesthetic travel vlog - well the days were in a ski resort might be in parts aesthetic but we’ll still be sharing the realities. Next one coming next Monday when we’ll be off on our first ski trip of the season so hit follow to come back for that.

Social media can make everything look easy…

But life behind the camera doesn’t always feel that way.
Travel days, family, three businesses, content, keeping the house running, friendships, money worries, mum guilt - it’s a lot.

I’m so grateful for the life we’ve built, but I’m also trying to be honest about the parts that feel heavy too.

Not for sympathy.
Not for advice.

Just because I know I’m not the only one who feels stretched, tired, overwhelmed, grateful and guilty… all at the same time.

So here’s a little peek behind the highlight reel - the bits that don’t always make the grid but are just as real.

If you’re in a similar season, you’re definitely not on your own.

Testing ice cream recipes that we can eat every day

And just to be clear, you should never feel guilty about eating ANYTHING but lets face it, eating shop bought, high sugar and preservative packed ice cream every day is going to make no one feel great!

So when I was talking to @elburritomonster a couple of weeks ago he told me about this fab recipe he uses in his @ninjakitchenuk CREAMi (PRproduct) using just milk, protein powder then whatever flavour you fancy, that’s it. It turns into a creamy, high-protein, lower-sugar ice cream that hits the post-dinner sweet craving without the sugar spike.

Honestly… game changer. Save this one for later

My career story

Hi, I’m Hannah and we share real-life family adventures, and yes, we do skip school sometimes to educate our kids in ways we think prepare them better for real life… not just the paths we’re told are “right.”

School taught me a lot, just not the things that actually shaped my life. And that’s exactly why I don’t stress when we take the kids out to learn in the real world.

Education isn’t only found in a classroom. Sometimes it looks like plane tickets, new cultures, and figuring out who you actually are.

If this resonates, we’d love you to follow along.

#FamilyTravel #TravelWithKids #RealWorldLearning #TermTimeTravel #AdventureFamily

Learning to ski is… a whole journey.

But the most important thing is that it’s fun! Everyone’s going to look a bit special at first, embrace it, laugh at it, it’s your holiday stop overthinking it, we’ve all ben there!

And from Simon - apparently there are limits to his supportive skiing energy 😂

Honestly? Those awkward first days are where our best memories were made. Keep going. It clicks faster than you think.

What would YOU tell a beginner skier if you weren’t scared of hurting their feelings?

Why I’m no longer allowed to do the food shopping 🛍️

Lets just say when Simon does it we save a lot of money compared to when I go and I would much rather spend money on travelling with our boys than the food shop!

This doesn’t mean compromising on delicious meals - it just means switching up recipes with things that are on offer in the supermarket and not buying all the stupidly over priced snacks (that I always go for!)

We are Adventures of the Wests - prioritising family adventures always and sharing how we make this a reality.

#budgetting #moneysaving #familyrecipes #familytravel

“Aren’t you worried you’re giving your kids false expectations?”

Honestly, I don’t think showing the boys what’s possible is ever a bad thing.

Our kids see the long hours, the sacrifices, and the hard work that make these trips happen. They know it’s not magic, it’s effort, belief, and choice.

For me, it’s not about doing everything, it’s about showing them they can create their version of happiness, whatever that looks like.

What would you do - ski edition

We have done this so many times with our boys, taken a lift not bothered to look at the piste map and ended up on a black run we didn’t mean to.

Luckily our boys are pretty confident skiers now and can handle a black run but they still freak if they see a black sign and we hadn’t warned them.

So my vote for this is defo a. - pretend its a blue run, I’ve genuinely done this loads of times and quickly distracted them away from the sign and not got too close for them to realise!

What would you do?

We are @adventuresofthewests sharing ideas to adventure more as a family with a big focus on skiing during the winter.

Saturday vlog - hanging out in Brighton

Why is life at home in the UK just so hectic?

Juggling work, school, kids’ clubs, managing a home and everything else is just so full on. By the time we get a moment to sit together on a weekday, it’s already bedtime for the kids!

I really hate that disconnected, rushing feeling life gives us. When we’re travelling, even though we’re still working and educating the boys, we spend so much quality time together.

Here at home, I’m just trying to find little pockets of time to do things we all love and actually connect.

How do you carve out moments together?

Things lately (that have nothing to do with my niche)

Hi, if you’re new here I’m Hannah mum of two boys - aged 8 and 11 and we love to take as many adventures as possible as a family.

During the winter, this has a big focus on skiing and we have some really exciting ski trips to share with you very soon!
Until then, here’s somethings lately I’ve been loving,

I’d love to hear your fave things recently in the comments to, you guys always have the best recommendations - ps thanks for the book suggestion, really excited to start this.

The perfect ski weekend in a place you’ve never thought of⛷️

and it might just be the closest ski resort to an airport making it perfect for a weekend ski trip.

Tatranska Lomnica isn’t the largest ski area but it’s a fantastic challenging resort with so many reasons to add it to your must visit list -

Just 15 mins from Poprad airport (fly here from Luton or Stansted)

Affordable to get to - our flights were just £22 return each

More affordable all round than the alps - pints of beer on the mountain for just 3.30e

Great spa’s and thermal baths nearby - we stayed at Hotel Seasons @aquacitypoprad - amazing thermal baths!

Loads to do off the slopes to - sledging, funicular ride, ice sculptures, hiking

You could also combine it with skiing in Jasna too like we did which is just 30-40 minute drive from here.

We share tons of off the beaten track ski resorts and tips to ski more as a family. Adprvisit as some of this trip last year was paid for by the tourist board without any expectation on us to post. @enjoytatras @vysoketatry_horyzazitkov

What do kids actually need to wear skiing? 🎿

You really don’t need to spend a fortune getting your little ones kitted out for the slopes. This is what they actually wear (and need!) to stay warm and comfy. It was a pretty mild trip when we filmed this, but in colder weather you most likely want that extra mid layer and a thin balaclava or snood. Hand warmers in their pockets are also a game changer. And if you’re Easter skiing and it’s warmer? Ditch the mid layer and swap goggles for sunglasses.

💡Top tip: don’t buy everything new. Always check if you can borrow bits or look at pre-loved first, all of Otis’s ski gear was gifted to us or bought on Vinted for under £5 an item, and it was honestly like new (you can even filter by ‘new’ or ‘like new’ on there). Kids grow so fast, chances are it won’t even fit the next season!

If you do want to buy new, we love @‌decathlonuk and @‌dare2b_sports for really good value kids’ ski wear.

Birthday treat London day out

Living in Brighton, we love a London day out but we had yet to take our boys to a West End show. So I was so thrilled to find such great value show tickets to see the production Caspar really wanted to see for his birthday - my neighbour Totoro - go see it the set is insanely good.

We combined this with an afternoon tea which feels like a proper traditional London activity. I feel very grateful that we got to experience a really special one - a @disney PeterPan experience @aquashard up the actual Shard Adprinvite.

Half term when you stay home rather than travel 🎃

This October half term was lush, a perfect mix of fun days out, activities and cosy home days chilling.

We have so many trips coming up that despite nearly booking bargain flights to Thailand, then almost going to Pembrokeshire for the week, we eventually settled on a week at home and it was just what we all needed.

We’d love to know if you did the same or went away?

Gender expectations & a reality check

Caspar turned 11 this week someone please explain how?!
Those early years felt like they were never going to end and then suddenly, they’re big.

I went from only ever imagining myself as a girl mum to being the proudest, happiest boy mum.

If you’ve ever felt the same or even just thought you might you are so not on your own.

The ultimate (affordable) ski and spa break ⛷️🧖

Apres ski in the spa is where it’s at after a day on the ski slopes and Slovakia is absolutely nailing it on the spa front with this huge thermal baths and adventure park. It has everything you could want for the whole family with play areas, proper hot natural thermal springs, a bar in the pool and the best sauna and wellness area we have ever been to (not shown in this video as its a defo no clothes zone but trust us, its a goodie.)
We flew here in February 2024 for just £22 return each from Stansted and Jasna ski resort where we were staying is only a 40 minute drive from the airport.

Save this one for your next ski and spa break, it’s a perfect weekend break for skiers and non skiers and check out our Slovakia highlight on our page for more videos on the skiing from this trip.

We share loads of ideas to ski for less and some great ski resorts so hit follow for more of that this ski season.

Everything we got our 11 year old for his birthday

I actually find gift giving a bit gross - so often presents feel to me like buying stuff for the sake of buying stuff. Not when the kids have been wishing for something for ages but when I’m just trying to make a pile of presents look bigger for the sake of it or because social media makes me feel like it should be.

Of course kids love having gifts to open and Caspar had a few things on his wish list which he was so excited to get but the only things he ever talks about when the day is done is the experiences, the food we made for him, the places we went, he never remembers the physical gifts he had.

So here’s what he had on his wish list with a few little extras that I know he loves.

We may have also booked a trip today that is on his dream destination list - we’re so excited to take him there and to share how we’re doing this with kids so hit follow to find out more
#birthdaygifts #birthday #mumofboys #whatigot #parenting

Lifestyle isn’t luck, its a choice

We get so many messages and comments ‘I wish I could travel as much as you do’ or ‘how do you travel so much?’ but we don’t travel as often as we do without sacrificing other things and working really hard to build a business that allows it. It’s a lifestyle choice that we’ve chosen - less ‘things’ more travel and adventures.

It’s not the easy option - packing up our house to rent it out while we’re travelling is stressful and tiring and tbh the last thing I need when I’m trying to get our whole family ready for our own trip. Booking the flights with long layovers and making daily content even when it has to be done late at night all I want to do is sleep… but that’s what makes this lifestyle possible for us.

Hard work, consistency, and a lot of intentional choices.

Surprising things travelling has made me appreciate

Spend a day with us at home in Brighton not travelling and just making the most of chilled weekends and little moments between the chaos of life before we’re off on some epic ski adventures this winter.

I started my day at a gym class at my gym @theboxbrighton box whilst the boys played at home with Simon before taking them to a kids Calisthenics class @undergroundgymbrighton which they LOVE and is really improving their strength ready for lots of skiing.

We spent the afternoon @pickingpatch Brighton - defo recommend for a day out this half term with kids especially if their halloween mad like ours. PRinvite.

Where to ski on a budget - Part two ⛷️💰

Adventures of the Wests is all about carving (see what I did there😂) as much family time together as possible so we’re always looking for ways to travel more. In the Winter, our biggest focus is skiing and sharing affordable ways we do this to hopefully help you to go more with your family too (if you want to!). One of the best ways we save money skiing is to test out more budget friendly ski resorts (we love the big name ski resorts too and have lots of tips on how to ski those for less too!)

We recently shared part one of this post with 5 budget friendly ski resorts we have visited which was really popular so we’re sharing five more ski resorts that are all on our wish list due to being great all round affordable ski resorts - apart from Slovakia - we skied both Jasna and Tatranska Lomnica last year (which is in this post) and loved them.

Creating ‘sweet’ moments in-between travels 🍦

My biggest driver to create this account was to be able have as many amazing adventures travelling with our kids. Travelling gives you so much quality time as a family and it can be so hard when we’re at home juggling work, school, kids clubs, our own hobbies and interests. Sometimes it feels really hard to make sure we’re having the same quality family time we get travelling.

But something we love doing together at home is ‘cooking’. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the boys so excited to make anything with me as ice cream and it was so quick can easy we were able to do it after a busy school and clubs day.

We’ve had a whole half a term at home and to be honest its been fab to get some downtime before the chaos of almost back to back ski trips we have upcoming - so make sure your following, we’re going to be sharing so many great resorts this year.

This ice cream maker is a PRproduct from @ninjakitchenuk

My Embarrassing secret⛷️

Hi Im Hannah, I love skiing but yea I don’t look the ‘prettiest’ when I do it.

In the world of instagram which is full of polished professional skiers, this account has always been about sharing the true ups and downs of travelling and skiing with kids and what you should really expect.

But my biggest passion is sharing that skiing is for everyone and I’m not being honest with you if I don’t share that despite skiing for years and YEARS I still don’t look pretty, I still get scared but that doesn’t stop me going and neither should it stop you.

Last year, I was embarrassed that people were questioning my knowledge and experience based on my skiing ability so I deleted mean comments. This year I’m shouting about it because what you look like skiing doesn’t define your knowledge or enjoyment and I want you to go enjoy the mountains whatever your level - they’re just so incredibly beautiful and cathartic.

So if real life skiing is your thing - we share so much info on how to go with your family for less so hit follow.

‘Skiing’s too expensive’ ⛷️

Yea skiing can be REALLY expensive if you want to go all out luxury but that doesn’t mean you can’t find an affordable ski holiday.

We absolutely believe most ski resorts can be done for less but if you want a budget friendly ski holiday - choosing a more low cost all round ski resort is going to make a big difference.

We’ve shared a couple of videos previously on some great budget friendly ski resorts we’ve visited and this video is resorts that are top of our list to try next for affordability - after a ton of research -excpet Arinsal, we had a really affordable holiday there!

Save this one for later and follow to see which budget friendly ski resorts we’re going to be visiting and sharing with you this ski season.

What’s cheaper - DIY vs Package ski holidays? ⛷️

We’ve tried so many of both these options and honestly DIY often isn’t coming out as the cheaper choice, especially if you book a package deal when there’s some great deals on - early bird/ Black Friday etc.

Our fave places to find a ski package deal and places we have genuinely used ourselves are:
- @sunweb - they have such great deals and something for every budget but the best thing - your lift passes are ALWAYS included saving you a ton of money
- @heidi.holidays LOVE their flexibility and the ability to book a trip exactly how you want it - we booked such a bargain Christmas break to @serrechevalier with them last year 👌
- @crystalholidays big companies like Crystal are able to offer really competitive prices and we’ve got fab deals with them that have included 241 lift passes and feee ski hire 🙌🏽

Save this for your next ski holiday and follow for more inspo ❄️
