Publisher's Synopsis
In its 20th anniversary edition The Good Skiing & Snowboarding Guide 2005 remains unchallenged as what The Observer aptly calls the bible for planning a ski trip anywhere in the world ...still the most comprehensive listing out there'. Continuing its new radical stance, the Guide reveals the Top 100 ski resorts for 2005. Award-winning journalists Peter and Felice Hardy have sifted through 6,000 resorts in 75 countries to make their sometimes controversial choice, dismissing the occasional famous resort in favour of a relatively unknown destination. Each resort has been picked for a special quality: outstanding off-piste, friendly nursery slopes, wild apres-ski, excellent children's facilities, or an exceptionally beautiful setting. This edition includes essential insider information on over 280 resorts around the world; an extended guide to 150 tour operators, with details of who goes where; a directory of useful skiing and snowboarding organisations and the 2005 Golden Ski Awards for the best resorts and facilities.
