Customer Reviews

Great factual guide to resorts
I can't live without this book any more when going snowboarding. It's also fun browsing through it when you're deciding where to go.

Excellent piste maps, resort descriptions, and ratings of all sorts of things. The town plans are terrible and it's a shame there aren't more photos, but there's too much information to fit in big photos.

Don't book your ski holiday without looking at this book!
Really useful guide ~ it gives lots of information on all aspects of the resort and slopes; both good and bad, in a very logical and well laid out format. I have used it for my last 3 ski holidays and have found the info spot on. It also includes comments that other readers have sent in which adds to the breadth of information.

A 'Bible' for any Skier or Boarder
This is a publication that no Skier or Boarder,whatever their grade, should be without.
The book gives a true, accurate and honest picture of all the major ski countries and their resorts.
It is quick to praise a resorts good points, but does not 'hide' the bad ones either.
Covering everything from Snow reliability, Piste Quality and Extent, Mountain Restaurants, Ski Schools, Accommodation in the resort, Nightlife etc, etc.
It is very good value for money and is easy to use and read.
It can save pounds and lots of 'heartbreaks' and 'spoilt' holidays.
