As well as the perfect ski holiday, Brits shared their biggest bugbears for taking to the slopes, with big queues and waiting around in the cold as the most stressful aspect (35 per cent) when heading on a winter getaway, followed by noisy and disruptive groups (28 per cent) and the amount of heavy luggage needed to bring along with you (19 per cent).
Skiers want to be as close as possible to the action, with 60 per cent requesting to be within 15 minutes of the slopes, and 11 minutes shown to be precisely the perfect distance away. Unsurprisingly, people also want to beat the queues with 38 per cent admitting their perfect ski trip involves waiting no more than 10 minutes for a ski lift.
More than 9 in 10 (91 per cent) said that stress-free travel is important to ensure their holiday gets off to a great start. A quarter of Brits (25 per cent) say smooth, convenient travel is the number one factor they are most willing to spend extra budget on, over proximity to their ski location and views off the slopes. A further one in three (34 per cent) would avoid group transfers altogether to get away from loud and disruptive passengers.
In fact, a bit of peace and quiet is a big win for Brits when booking a winter holiday, with 86 per cent admitting that the worry of large groups would put them off skiing during peak season. Other skiing turn-offs include travelling with a lot of luggage (72 per cent), the hassle and delays of vehicle or air travel in the snow (14 per cent).
When it comes to holiday booking, Brits are willing to splash out a little more for the best experience with 35 per cent admitting they are willing to spend more to maximise comfort. This includes ensuring safe and easy travel, with 43 per cent attracted towards a private car transfer when rushing to the slopes.
Although there are a lot of great perks to jetting off to the winter snow, when asked which holiday people found the most stressful to plan for, skiing came in second (25 per cent) after booking adventure holidays (29 per cent).
Dr. Jens Wohltorf, CEO and Founder at Blacklane, said: "Skiing holidays shouldn't have to be stressful - it's a great time to relax and one of the most magical holidays you can go on.
