And for those who are first timers we have a whole section to helf you out on our website to make sure that you have all the things that you will need, can stay warm and have an amazing time !!! 'First time Skiers'

Food you must try when skiing!!

There are some foods that you absolutly have to try when your away skiing! not only because they are really nice but also because they will warm you up.

I am the most fussy eater in the world and really struggle with alot of textures of food rather than the taste, so to most these might not seem like the best food that you can eat when on the slopes but to me they are and if its your first time in a country then you have to atleast try them..

Last week I was in Austria Skiing with my family and I struggle alot there with food because I dont really eat pork but my winter warmer and midday love was definately
Goulash soup! If You want to try and make it yourself if only takes 15minutes to prepare and about an hour to cook. It has a sweet yet spicy flavour and is a beautiful blend of beef tomato and paprika. Give it a google and have a go!

When I was younger we always skied in France and I think I scared my parents with the amount of Tartiflette I ate out there, I would happily have eaten it for breakfast lunch and dinner if I had been aloud. I don't 0ften like cheese but this is deninatelly my exception to the rule! It is a rich warm filling dish of cheese, creamy potatoes and baco the is ideal to share with friend and really easy to make.

Now this is not my favourites but it definately goes down extremely well with my family and there is never any left even my 4 year old sister is happy to fill herself silly with a cheese fondue! Whenever we ski across the boarder from france to switzerland this is what all my family order. Made from a mixture of cheeses and white wine served with crusty bread to dip in and eat till you think your going to pop!

Although I don't like cheese fondue I am a total sucker for a chocolate fondue. How can anyone turn down a mixture of melted chocolates and loads of fruit to dip into it, although marshmellows are an amazing alternative but can become very sickly much faster.

I hope you enjoy these and give them a try especially when your out in resort! Happy Skiing!
