Ski Holidays - Where To Go

Easter has been and gone and so has the ski holiday season for this year, but already keen skiers are looking forward to next year when they can hit the pistes again.

But for those who are considering their first ski holiday - perhaps inspired by the Winter Olympics - what do they need to think about?

The first thing to consider is destination - and there's plenty of ski holiday destinations to choose from.

In Europe one of the best locations for new skiers is Andorra - there's good ski schools and plenty of slopes that are good for beginner and intermediate skiers to enjoy themselves on.

The most obvious choice for Europeans is France - over half of all ski holidays taken by the British are in France - and the Pyrenees and Alps offer a wide choice of skiing, and price ranges.

For those on a budget the choice used to be Andorra, and Andorra built her reputation as a cheap ski holiday destination in the 1980's and 90's, but Andorra has moved upmarket in recent years, spending millions on the hotels in Andorra and first class skiing facilities in a bid to attract those who might head elsewhere.

Today's budget destination is Bulgaria.

In the U.S. and Canada there are, like Europe, a multitude of choices, but the best known ones that have all the facilities a skier would possibly want are:

Lake Louise, Whistler, Banff and Jasper for Canada ski holidays.

And for the U.S. Aspen in Colorado, along with Breckenridge, Lake Tahoe and Vail offer new and established skiers alike a great choice of accommodation and infrastructure.

Along with which destination, another important factor is which company to travel with. Those with experience include Thomson, Thomas Cook, Crystal Ski and First Choice.

Whichever company you choose, and destination you decide upon, we hope you have a good ski holiday in 2011.
