Might be cheaper to organise it yourself, book a hotel directly, then ring the tourist office and buy the ski pass.
More hassle yes, but works out cheaper.
Depends how much time you want to spend organising everything I guess.

If you plan on taking the scoob, snow chains are law in most of the resorts. So make sure you don't mind scuffing your alloys 
Overnight ure scoob will disappear under snow.
All your stickers will probably all peel off, and you will be finding salt in crevices for years. All your locks will freeze over, your door sills will probably freeze so you wont be able to open the door, your battery will probably pack up, and your alarm system could fail.
Not for the faint hearted
I'd suggest land rovers, or Fozzy's truck's a better option

Ok I have just phoned ski-weekends again to give me a rough price for a weekend, these prices are just a guideline and could change next year.
Halfboard for a weekend is 169.00
Lift passes 72.00 for a Merible pass and 90.00 for a 3 Valley pass.
ski hire is 33.00, 38.00, or 50.00 depending on what type of ski you want.
ski boots are 22.00
snowboards are 35.00 or 39.00 depending on what board you want
boots are 23.00
Ski lessons are 72.00.

As well as tasting a lot of snow pmsl, you can do that mate. as where you hire your equipment from should be happy to change it round.
