What makes Mad Dog Ski unique?
Our books.
For £8 per guide (Courmayeur is just £6.00), 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 – grading 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
