In 'The Snow Guide To Australia & New Zealand', Robert Upe and Jim Darby - two seasoned snow adventures and ski writers - present all there is to know about the slopes, resorts and alpine towns of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and New Zealand. They cover everything from ski schools, lifts and equipment to accommodation and dining, with a lively style that will lure any outdoors enthusiast to the snow.
Over 42 resorts and 26 towns are covered, with a total of 52 detailed maps. Slopes are rated for beginner, immediate and advanced skiers and snow boarders, as well as for food, accommodation and kid appeal. Find out about the best place to stay, which hotels have an open fireplace and which are good for a big night out, and be informed and entertained by the 'powder pointers', 'potted histories' and 'bad eggs'. This guide is a must for all skiers.
