The long awaited Snozone Club membership deal will be launched tomorrow. The cost for an adult is £85 for the year and will give you 20% off normal slope time, £10 off board/ski only nights, £5 off Fresh Trax and half price slope use on Sunday evenings. Junior membership is £50, "couples" membership is £130 and family membership (two adults plus two juniors) is £160.

As a special introductory offer, members will also get a year's membership of The Ski Club of Great Britain which isn't to be sneezed at. Snozone say they already have about 1000 people who have pre-registered their interest at Snozone reception and these people should be getting application forms in the post this week. Membership cards will be processed as quickly as possible.

The Snozone prices are almost double the cost of the Tamworth membership which also gives you free time, guest vouchers and various other money saving offers. No doubt you've spotted the obvious scam. If you don't mind having to hold the hand of your mate and playfully pinch his/her arse as you apply for your "couples" membership, you can each save £20 on the deal.
