Due to the success of our Thursday Mid Morning ski sessions we are now opening them up to all members free of charge. The sessions will run every Thursday morning from 10am to 12pm until the end of April 2010.

Non members are welcome to ski too, at £15 per session.

Membership starts from as little as £80 per annum - and includes the use of the centre's range of skis new for the 2009-2010 season. With our extended opening hours, recently re-matted main slope and new spacious kitting up area there are now more reasons than ever to become a member.

We help launch new £5 London Stanstead ski flight fare from Ryan Air

1 MILLION £5 FLIGHTS Ryanair, the world's favourite airline, today (Friday 15 January) released 1million £5 seats to destinations including Grenoble, Lourdes, Cuneo, Memmingen and Bratislava for travel up to March 25 subject to availability.

These £5 flights must be booked on www.ryanair.com before midnight Monday 18 January. Ryanair's £5 tickets include all taxes and charges so passengers who chose to avoid discretionary fees by paying with MasterCard Prepaid, travel with carry on luggage only and forego priority boarding can book, check in online and fly for this advertised £5 fare.

Speaking today Ryanair's Laura McCormack said: "Ryanair is giving passengers in London Stansted the chance to hit the slopes with Ryanair's guaranteed lowest fares from only £5 inclusive of taxes.

Interest in our ski destinations has hit an all-time high, as demand for winter sports increases with UK passengers looking to take advantage of the excellent ski conditions across Europe! "Why not fly to Lourdes and visit the resorts of Luz Ardiden or Peyragudes or if the Italian Alps are more your thing fly to Cuneo and hit the slopes in Limone Piemonte or try night skiing in Prato Nevoso. Memmingen in Germany is a great gateway to the Austrian resorts of Kitzbuhel and Zell am See. Skiers, snow boarders and snow lovers will be spoilt for choice! "

These seats will be snapped up fast and are available for booking on www.ryanair.com before midnight Monday
