London, Thursday 4th January 2001 For your annual winter injection of fresh air, snow and adrenalin, Yahoo! Ski and Snow provides you with everything you need to organise your next session on the slopes.

Whether you’re into riding the moguls, hot-dogging or more of an Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards style, you can find information on resorts, check out accommodation, see what the snow and weather conditions are like or buy gear to make you stand out from the ski crowd.

And its not just skiing on Yahoo! Ski and Snow; whatever winter sport you’re into, whether it’s cross-country, freestyle, jumping, snow skating, or snowboarding, there’s information there for everyone: competitions, facilities for disabilities, events, organisations and more.

If it’s the après-ski which comes top of your list, or the quality of the snow, you will need to know which resorts are hot and which are not! On Yahoo! Ski and Snow, you can browse the different regions and resorts to discover the top resorts to fit your ability, sense of adventure or desire for beautiful scenery.

It might be an annual trip for a whole bunch of friends, a first-time ‘virgin’ skiing break, or a family holiday….whoever is going, you will need to find somewhere to stay. The Chalet Finder service allows you to search for ski accommodation at all the top resorts by property type (eg. apartment, B&B, chalet, hotel, etc.); you can specify your rent budget and the number of people sleeping to find the accommodation to suit all your needs.

Yahoo! Ski & Snow also allows you to search for snow reports by location to find out where’s the best snow and to get the latest weather forecasts for the different regions.

“Yahoo! Ski & Snow allows people to organise everything for their skiing holiday in one convenient location. Whether it’s a question of where to go, booking accommodation or checking out the latest weather, Yahoo! Ski & Snow caters for your every need.” Said Catherine Taylor, Marketing Director of Yahoo! UK & Ireland.

“We developed Yahoo! Ski & Snow to make it easier for those of us with busy, hectic lives to organise that week in February when you can just forget it all and throw yourself down the side of a mountain.”
