NEIL asked:


I recently went on a snowboarding holiday and really enjoyed it. I don’t think ill be going on another trip for a while and therefore would like to practice on a local dry ski slope. Some of my friends say that dry ski slopes are a waste of time and advise me not to bother. However, this is the only option available to me at the moment. Is it worthwhile snow boarding on a dry ski slope?

I live in the Uk and want to go to either USA or Canada for a 2 centre skiing holiday. (one week skiing and one week city ) One suggestion I have had is Mammoth Mountain in California for the first week and LA for the second.
Anyone got any other ideas, we really fancy either Brekenridge, Colorado, USA or Whistler, British Columbia Canada, but we are unsure of the best places to couple them up with.

Hi I’m from England and wondering where the cheapest place is to go skiing? I want to book it as a surprise for my boyfriend but haven’t got the biggest bank balance. Also when is the best time to go price wise? I don’t want to look like i’m doing it on the cheap though lol

Thanks :-)
this is in reply to first answer even thought they can’t write anything else, I don’t care what date just want to know the cheapest season then decide from there.
Oh and no kit, don’t need an instructor

I’ll leave from London and I’m looking for personal recommendations rather than going to a travel search engine.

Thank you!
