Where to Ski in Austria will be published Friday 27 October

Where to Ski in Austria, the first of a new series of ski resort guidebooks from the Where to Ski and Snowboard stable, will be published on Friday 27 October and is now available to pre-order at a discounted price of £6.50 (usual RRP £11.99) through our BOOK pages.

Where to Ski in Austria is the first of a new series of smaller resort guides that replace the annual Where to Ski and Snowboard. Each new guide will deal with a single country, starting with Austria with guides to Italy and France to follow next autumn. Switzerland and North America will complete the set in 2019.

The new books are based on the same foundations of thorough research, impartial evaluation, warts-and-all text and reader-friendly layout, with lots of photos carefully chosen to convey the character of the resorts. But they are all-new, written from scratch with a new and improved structure. Chris Gill is the solo editor of the new series, with Dave Watts acting as consultant editor.

Where to Ski in Austria covers 80 resorts in Austria, many more than Where to Ski and Snowboard did – and with more detailed analysis of the skiing. In these new books, beginners get more attention, and the broad church of intermediate skiers is split: the needs of cautious ‘true blue’ skiers are considered separately from those of confident intermediate skiers.

‘When I’m on holiday with friends and family, I seem to spend a lot of my time leading apprehensive intermediates down blue runs,’ says Chris Gill, ‘so I was determined to use some of the extra space in these new books to spell out how well each resort works for blue-run skiers’.

At the same time, the books have more information than ever for expert skiers looking to head off-piste.

Where to Ski in Austria, published by Guide Editors, is available in all good bookshops, on amazon.co.uk and other online stores, but it is available for the discounted price of £6.50 (plus P&P) via our BUY THE BOOK page.
