Captains Top 5 Ski Tips

 

1. The Great Outdoors
Ski over the hills of the States or the mountains of Europe, a winter break is the perfect opportunity for you to escape city life and immerse yourself in the great outdoors. Snow hike along mountain trails, sleigh ride through the forest or take a helicopter ride over the amazing scenery.

 

2. Get Active
There is a whole host of fun activities for the whole family to enjoy that will keep you fit and active apart from just skiing. Most resorts offers good apres ski and you can enjoy things such as ice skating, tobogganing, snow walking, dog sleighs or going on a snowmobile.

 

3. Something for everyone
Choose from all night partying, a group holiday with friends, a romantic holiday with a loved one, or an activity filled family holiday. A winter break in the snow will let you do as little or as much as you want and you can choice the resort that matches exactly that.

 

4. Stunning scenery
What could be more exhilarating that standing at the top of a mountain looking out over the valleys or glaciers with the sun glistening off the powderey white snow. Whether your heading to Europe or North America, the stunning scenic mountain ranges will leave you breathless.

 

5. White Christmas
To experience a true white Christmas, head to a log cabin or mountain chalet for the festive season and wake up surrounded by blue skies, plenty of snow and a roaring log fire. Spending Christmas on the slopes is very popular and also a great way to ring in the New Year.
