Not many people know this, but Scotland is a haven for serious skiers. With the recent call for Scottish Members of Parliament to get behind tourism, it's predicted that you'll hear a lot more from this sleeping giant.
(prHWY.com) August 3, 2012 - na, Canada -- What's that? Scotland. Skiing? Yes, you heard right. In a recent European survey only 8% of people considered Scotland an option when it comes to winter sports. And Kevin McDonagh of Snow Pursuits UK believes that needs to change.
"Scotland is a brilliant destination for skiers, snowboarders and virtually any winter sport you can imagine.", says Kevin. "What we need is the government to start paying attention to local tourism and put its money where its mouth is"
With incredible resorts in Aviemore, Argyll and of course at Ben Nevis, take advantage now before the whole world and his dog are let in on the secret. One of the beauties of Scotland is its untamed wilderness and 'off the beaten track' mystery. If Mr McDonagh gets his way, the whole of Europe will be avoiding France and Italy this year and hitting the Scottish slopes
Easy to learn but difficult to master, skiing is becoming more popular than ever with health being on people's minds. And what better way to avoid the booze filled holidays in the sun, than skipping the beach holiday altogether. Not only is skiing fun and healthy, it's a great way to spend a family vacation.
"Don't be put off by all the horror stories about broken legs and being lost in the snow", says Kevin McDonagh, "injuries are rare and mostly caused by carelessness rather than uncontrolled careering down a frozen hill. Careful skiers, who observe all the safety standards of the sport hardly ever get injured."
With some seriously good deals now available from travel agents, it's might well be a good time to get your ski boots on and book yourself a winter holiday. And to find out where the best
