Ski resorts keep holiday blues at bay

A recent report has found that one in ten British holidaymakers end up having blazing rows with travel companions when the weather turns bad, apparently because we are stuck for anything better to do.

Even more depressing is the recommended solution to holiday-boredom; take your laptop with you so you can email people at home when you get fed up of spending quality time with your nearest and dearest. Perhaps a better solution would be to select a holiday that has a bit more to offer in the way of entertainment.

Ski resorts are well equipped to deal with all sorts of weather variations. Obviously there is the snow and the mountains to keep you going, failing that there are interesting local villages to explore, and even of that doesn't keep you occupied, all that fresh air and fondue will make you feel so relaxed that it will only be the log fire left blazing at the end of the day.
