Customer Reviews
Good reference guide
Good reference guide with fair amount of additional information (local hotels, places to eat, etc) and very useful categorisation of resorts (e.g. value, families, apres ski, etc). Only niggles are that I'd have liked more detail and volume of information in some places, and the piste maps need a magnifying glass to get a good feel of the runs available at each resort - they are big enough to give you a good overview and the number and difficulty (green, blue, red, black) but you don't get the detail (e.g. the direction of lifts/pistes and whether some that appear to connect do in fact connect or not...) Summary - An excellent guide to help you choose a resort, with some useful pointers on hotels etc, but lacking detail once you've selected a resort.
