The Ski Club of Great Britain’s latest poll found 49% of consumers still intend to ski this season "if possible", although this is down 10% on a like survey carried out in December.


Nearly two-thirds (64%) of these respondents are yet to book, the poll revealed.


Some 54% of consumers polled said they still planned to travel in March, while April ski intention is up 12% from 16% in December to 28% in January.


Of the 32% of respondents who said they didn’t intend to ski this winter, 80% said they were likely to go next season – up from 75% in December.
