Okay, so this isn't necessarily a guide by or for robots but the video with its funky robot skier and weird musical medley, is cool. We just want to make sure that the skiing robots out there don't feel left out.

As we rapidly move towards winter, expectations amongst dedicated human and robot skiers alike start to rise. When will the snow come? Which mountains will be best? Will it snow at all? Where's my oil?

These are questions best answered by the snow report professionals so I will leave you to hunt down the best conditions and make your own choice of destination. However, if you would rather just jump right in and get the best price on any resort, check out our ski and snow deals section for some inspiration.

Once you've figured out where you would like to go, it's time to get down to the nuts and bolts (ahem..) i.e. how much will this cost me? This is where we at Savoo come in. Here are some great places to begin on your search for the very best deals on all things ski and snowboarding.

Travel

What happened to the flying cars we were promised in two thousand-and-whatever? This seems to be a recurring question. Perhaps I can offer an answer: the skiing robots have them and are using them to travel, robo-style, to ski resorts. That's what I would do. Sadly, most of us humans are restricted to using the conventional car, train, boat and airplane options when taking off for our ski trip. Luckily, we have this selection of great travel deals to help you out:

• If you're going by coach then make sure to use this voucher from National Express giving you 10% off trips to French ski destinations.
• P&O Ferries have a £25 ski crossing offer to get your car and up to 9 passengers across the channel.
• For flights to Europe check out our Swissair deals and Air France vouchers. If you're heading to North America then look to these Virgin Atlantic offers and save money on car hire with Holiday Autos rental discounts.

Accommodation

Need a place to rest your weary legs or soothe your solenoids after a hard day of skiing or riding? Save money on some great hotel and chalet accommodation:

• Take 10% off all orders with this Hotels.com voucher code or get up to a 30% discount with a Marriott voucher.
• Enjoy a 15% discount off all French resort accommodation with this great promotional code from PV Holidays.
• Save up to £200 per person on French Chalets with Neilson.

Ski Holiday Packages

Prefer a less 'a la carte' approach to planning your ski holiday? Let one of these companies arrange everything for you. A good option for the family as children under five often go free. Not sure about robots though:

• Crystal holidays are experts at arranging ski holidays. Visit the Crystal voucher codes page for some of the best value package deals around.
• Ski and ride Canada with these Canadian affair special offers. Packages start from just £599 per person.
• Thomson are another top choice as they have loads of experience in organising fantastic trips to the snow. Check out these Thomson discount codes to find some substantial savings.

May your winter be long, cold, and with the help of Savoo, not too expensive. Now If the slopes are crowded with wobbly robots shredding to the sounds of their favourite brass band ensemble, don't say we didn't warn you.
