How to make the most of all those days off!
The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton isn't just a chance to spend a few hours in front of the telly, pass comment on the bride's dress and then indulge yourself at a street party. With a bit of planning you can use the day off – and all the other bank holidays – to take an extended break whilst only biting into a few days annual leave. So how about one last big blast on the ski slope?
Former Olympic skier and Ski Sunday presenter Graham Bell knows a thing or two about hunting down the best skiing experiences, and in this video he makes his way to Tignes in the French Alps. Tignes is blessed with glacier skiing, which means you can get downhill action almost all the year round.
Other high altitude resorts still open through the end of April include Zermatt and Obergurgl. You can check the latest snow reports for Obergurgl, Saas Fee, Tignes and Zermatt right here on J2Ski.
And to see the resorts still open, check our Snow Forecasts for Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland.
