Set in a  natural scenic wonderland of forests, glaciers and excellent ski slopes the Snowbombing Festival in Mayrhofen, Austria runs from the 4th to the 9th April.

Many British skiers home in on France’s 400 or so ski resorts for their skiing year after year, though some favour other European destinations. However, North America with Canada, Oregon, Colorado and the unlikely but amazing Las Vegas Ski resort are chipping away at the market.

New flight routes , some from this month, will be available this autumn from Bristol, Liverpool and Edinburgh and Newcastle, as well as Manchester and Gatwick, to several key European destinations for Skiers, city-breakers and sun seekers.
