If you’re not sure where to go on holiday then there are always plenty of books about with some great ideas for destinations. As we are heading into winter we thought we’d have a look at the best skiing guides out there to give you plenty of time to think about where you want to go before booking.

One of the best ski holidays guide books that we recommend is Where to Ski and Snowboard. The book covers over 1,100 skiing holiday destinations, 450 of which are in detail. The book also covers the types of terrain and levels of expertise you need to make it easy for you to pick the perfect ski resort.

Since this book has no affiliation with any ski resorts it takes an unbiased few of each resort giving you positives and negatives at the start of each resort description. The editors are Chris Gill and Dave Watts who have both written for the famous magazine Which, this gives you complete trust in what is said about the resorts that are described in the book.

The book has 130 mountain maps 30 of which are enlarged. The pictures of the resorts are the best that are about and give you a true and reliable image. 

The book can be bought direct from Where to Ski and Snowboard and can also be found on Amazon.co.uk or other leading book shops.
