What makes Mad Dog Ski unique?

Our books

At a cost of just £8 per guide, the books provide an in-depth guide to everything that skiers need to know once in resort. They provide first-hand knowledge on all aspects of a snow-sports holiday, both on and off the mountain. Unique features include:

Piste ranking – awarding pistes one to three stars (easy to difficult), the piste ranking allows skiers and boarders to plan their routes more confidently
Detailed recommended Mad Dog day trips – each trip is designed to help skiers and boarders explore a new ski area, and also tells you about our favourite lunch and après-ski stops
Comprehensive reviews of mountain restaurants - and how to find them
Independent reviews of restaurants, après-ski and nightlife in-resort
Other things to do – gives non-skiing visitors the full low-down on how to have just as much fun off the mountain as on it!
A separate family section - including childcare options, recommended children’s ski schools and off the mountain activities
