The cost of skiing: Europe or North America? - by Peter Hardy

The lack of reliable snow cover across much of Europe last season, coupled with the weakness of the US dollar, has resulted in a particularly sharp North America this winter.Skiers who annually cross the Atlantic insist that the overall winter sports experience is more enjoyable than in the often overcrowded Alps. The drawback has always been high prices, but has the weak dollar changed this? The Telegraph has compared holidays in European resorts with those of a similar profile in North America, and have uncovered some surprising results. Even taking into account the expensive transatlantic flight, you can ski more cheaply over there than over here - especially if you choose Canada and stay for two weeks.
