You planned and made the dreams of sliding on the slopes on the fresh snow. But somehow nature ditched and your dreams got shattered. Do not worry, we are presenting the ways by which you can still fully enjoy your ski holiday.
Try a Resort with Fun Activities
Choose a resort that offers alternative activities that you can enjoy like ice skating, paragliding, winter hiking, snowshoe trails, cross-country skiing, etc. - when things do not go as you planned. You can also indulge in a bonfire with friends and family and look for any live entertainment that you can enjoy in the cold weather. You can also go for drinks and visit any known clubs in the town.
Aim High
There are various budget friendly, high-altitude resorts that you can consider if the snow is not good. The height of the resort can offer you some of the amazing views and is a different experience altogether.
Look out for Snow Cannons
Ischgl is known for having one of the most sophisticated snowmaking operations in Europe. It gets cold enough for its 1,100 snow-cannons to work at full blast. The resort is famous and performs an amazing job over the Christmas week.
Choose a Resort that is Regularly Groomed
When we went to ski, our instructor told us that we need to stick to areas that are well maintained. A couple of bumps at our resort were flattened every day. You may experience some of the best skiing at the ski area’s high point, and this can be reached by chairlift. Long red and black runs sweep down into the edge of the ski area.
Discover place with Good Restaurants
Food is an essential part of any holiday. A fun-filled holiday cannot be complete without good food. Check out various restaurants and different cuisine options that they offer. Also see what kind of service they provide - self-service or otherwise. There are various options to choose from and get some really good grub, if you explore a little.
Find Connected Resorts
The trip is much more fun if your resort is connected with other resorts. You have more options to explore and experiment with. Why not try an alternative restaurant, which you might find at some connected resorts. When we went for a ski holiday, our resort was linked with another, which gave us a variety of terrain and the chance to find some quieter pistes when the main area got crowded.
Relax and enjoy the view
Things may not always turn up the way you like and this mostly happens on your winter holidays. You can’t always experience the best conditions at Christmas, but you can always maximize the possibility of decent snow with some planning. Study the snow reports before you go, take your swimming things if there is an on-resort spa, and be prepared for some long lunches. Also, remember that you are here to have fun and make the most of your holiday with your loved ones. The snow may not be fit for skiing but it will always be good enough to give you a mesmerising view.
Holidays can bring a lot of adventure and lots of unexpected surprises. It is always better to be prepared for the unprepared in order to make the most of your holiday.
