Planning a Ski Trip to Europe

Wednesday September 24, 2008
I'm putting the final touches on my annual ski trip to Europe and I couldn't have make the arrangements nearly as easily without Charlie Leocha's Ski Snowboard Europe web site and book Ski Snowboard Europe.

The bottom line, for me, is to go somewhere in Europe where you get as much bang for your buck as possible. To do that, you have to trust someone who's been there, and goes back there, and checks out the skiing and snowboarding, hotels, apartments, chalets, and restaurants. Charlie Leocha has been dong that in Europe for over 30 years and his book helped me choose where to visit and where to stay.

As Leocha points out, with a little research you can find a ski package or a tour operator that can put together a European vacation for not much more than what you would pay for a destination vacation in the states.

Why would you choose Europe? Once you have seen these mountains up close and skied non-stop for 6 or 7 hours without ever crossing your tracks it's very, very addicting. Everything you read about the the Alps is true and ten times more breathtaking in person.

However, there are so many resorts, and so little time, that need experienced advice to set up a vacation you'll enjoy on and off the slopes. Ski Snowboard Europe takes the guess work out of finding a resort or village that fits your fancy, your skiing and your budget.
