Christmas is on the way - why not get ready early and find the perfect gift for the ski and snowboard enthusiasts in your life! From stocking fillers to main presents, this year's round-up of gift inspiration has something for all the family. Don't forget to check out last year's gift guide for even more ideas!
Discover the amazing stories behind 50 of the world’s great ski runs. Veteran snow travel writer, Patrick Thorne’s new book, Around The World in 50 Slopes, takes skiers on a journey between ski runs located in 30 countries across six continents - the perfect gift for any skier!
The runs take us to the world’s most northerly and southerly ski areas, to slopes skiable 365 days a year, or on the only slope for thousands of miles in southern Africa, down a volcano in the Andes or under the phenomenal northern lights.
There are slopes connected to James Bond, Franz Klammer, St Patrick, The Beatles, Santa Claus, Emperor Hadrian, Kim Jong-un, Count Dracula and even the Greek God Zeus. One run follows the line below the flight of a witch and another a route once popular with smugglers. Ski inspiration at its best!
