Pick of the Europe's principal resorts have been able to roll out the white carpet for the first skiers of the season, thanks to heavy snow across the Alps. Canada is also enjoying record conditions. It will be a relief to Britain's beleaguered ski operators, who reported that early-season bookings were at their lowest for a decade. Descent, Ski All America and Indigo Lodges were among companies that failed in the autumn owing to the financial downturn, while others have been forced to cut back on the number of chalets they offer – some of them by as much as 40 per cent.
With purse strings tight, Britain's 1.2 million skiers are booking later and expecting more for their money than ever before. They are trying to save on transport, eating out, equipment and accommodation, but they should be wary of too much compromise over the destination. The key to a fulfilling skiing holiday, after all, is to pick the right resort in the first place. Here, we aim to help you do just that.
