 What's an easy way to carry skis?
Well we found the ‘THE HANDLE’ . This nifty little device allows you to carry your skis around without causing major injury to yourself and other members of the public. It’s incredibly easy to use – no Velcro just a click buckle. It’s also light and small enough to put in your pocket. www.ski-walker.com

We went on holiday the week of March 26th 2009. We had a great holiday and our party of mixed skiers and snowboarders loved both the skiing and snowboarding. Best of all it a lot better value than some of the French resorts we have been to
