Phil Langley asked:


We usually fly from the UK to Canada to ski each year. Next season we are going to try and reduce costs by stating in Europe. What resort do you recommend?

One if us is a strong intermediate skier, the other an early intermediate. We prefer resorts/hotels right on the slopes or a few steps from the lift. Also, we like to take one day off from skiing during a holiday to do something else (ice skating, snowmobiling etc), and would like to find a resort with options other than just skiing.

Any country/resort in Europe is ok with us.

Sid asked:


I bet this question gets spammed something rotten, but here goes…

I’m off to the Czech Republic (it’s cheap) with my girlfriend for a week’s skiing over Easter. I’ve booked flights via EasyJet, and have booked a hotel privately. I used to have annual travel insurance, but that’s expired. I have some life insurance, but it doesn’t cover medical costs for winter sports.

EasyJet offer travel insurance at £30/head, but I don’t know if it’s any good.

Can anyone advise..?
