the 2009 skiing and boarding trip
We're taking a different tack from usual for our 2009 trip. We're booking small self-catering apartments to make it much cheaper and cosier, and to be able to book closer to the date of travel. [We plan to go back to catered chalets for the 2010 skiing and boarding trip, for those who like to pay for everything to be included.]
Want to know what you can do about climate change and skiing?
There are no two ways about it, global warming is set to severely impact skiing in Europe and the rest of the world. So even if you are no environmentalist, if you want to be skiing in your later life, it's time to do something now!
Green Resort Guide
Do you ever wonder how green the ski resorts are? It can be very hard to find out even when you are there, let alone when booking. There's a new online guide to fill you in.
