Great friends of MadDogSki, Libby and Anne, have taken the plunge and decided to go on their first ski holiday, so they headed to the Snow Centre in Hemel Hempstead for a bit of practice. Here is the start of their journey into the wonderful world of skiing.

When I emigrated to Austria four years ago I knew that I was less than a half hour’s drive from a great range of ski resorts, and so I sought out the best ski guide books available to understand what each resort had to offer, something like the Mad Dog Ski resort guide to Méribel & the 3 Valleys that lived in my bum bag during many ski holidays in France.

Radio Meuh is a renowned web radio in France and other countries and they are holding their first festival in a marquee in La Clusaz.

Like most people I’m a sucker for the end of season ski sales, and a couple of seasons ago I picked up a good deal in the form of a pair of Head Vector LTD boots. They fitted me pretty nicely straight from the box but as the following season wore on they packed down to the extent where there have been days when it’s felt like my feet are racing around on a private little adventure of their own inside the boots.

Here is the latest ski report from  www.J2ski.com for the week ending 30th March 2013. Spring is setting in everywhere but the snowfall last week in most countries will keep the skiing good for the next few weeks. Scotland has enjoyed a great season but unfortunately our infrastructure means accessibility has often been the problem to enjoying our own mountains.

For avid skiers wanting high-end luxury on the slopes, Supertravel Ski offers a choice of lavish ski chalets in France, Switzerland and Austria. From timber-framed retreats to contemporary chalets, all properties offer excellent cuisine and world-class service from some of the most experienced staff in the Alps.

Here are some fantastic end of season special offers from Erna Low. They specialise in ski drive holidays so all these ski holidays include Eurotunnel crossings with free FlexiPlus upgrade. There is up to 50% on deals to Orelle, France so grab your skis and head on out and enjoy all the great new snow across the Alps this Spring.

With reports of great new snow falls across the Alps it is a great time to head over there. Ski Solutions have sent us these deals through the the end of the season with some good weekend options as well as whole weeks. So, if you are looking for a cheeky late ski trip this might suit you perfectly and with savings of up to £490pp it has to be worth a peek.
