Article Abstract:
Heavy snowfalls in the Alps have led to a significant rise in demand for late booking ski holidays in the region. Those who are prepared to travel at short notice can make significant savings. It is vital to book early if you want to travel in a group, want specific resort accommodation or have to travel in peak periods, but otherwise late booking is becoming extremely attractive. This is partly because it is now possible to obtain detailed information about snow conditions from the Internet.

Article Abstract:
Skiing in New England can be a very interesting experience, mainly because the weather conditions change frequently. On some days, it can be very warm, and the snow begins to melt. Very shortly afterwards, it can rain and be extremely cold. Snow can fall very quickly, covering any ice which may have formed. The resort of Killington is the largest on the US East Coast, but still feels small and is operated extremely efficiently. It is possible to cover the entire area in a single day.

Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common for nostalgic images to be used to promote ski resorts. Advertising for Beaver Creek, CO, for example, uses a 1930s-style image, even though the resort did not actually open until 1980. Similarly, short-break ski operator Flexiski has a sepia image on the cover of its 1999 to 2000 brochure. There is a belief that old skiing images create nostalgia for a time when skiing was seen as pioneering and adventurous.
