Ryanair have fired a new salvo in the cut price fares war at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

The airline has released what it describes as 10,000 "FREE ski seats" to some of Europe's most exciting ski destinations from the UK and Ireland.

Ski lovers on Merseyside can take advantage of FREE weekend seats to Turin from Liverpool JLA and spend the days on the slopes at Cervinia, Courmayeur and Sestriere.

Ryanair's 10,000 FREE seats are available for booking until midnight Monday 12 January for travel on Saturdays in January, February and March.

Ryanair's Lesley Kane said: "Skiers have spent decades being held to ransom by high fares airlines and high cost ski companies who keep the cost of getting the slopes unreasonably high.

"Ryanair�s guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges have ensured that millions of ski lovers can escape the confines of the credit crunch and escape on one of Ryanair's 101 ski routes.

"We are now removing the cost of getting to the slopes by offering 10,000 lucky skiers FREE seats from the UK and Ireland.

"Demand on these ski routes will be huge and our advice to passengers is to book your Ryanair flights today on www.Ryanair.com and make sure you don�t miss out."
