Can’t find your clients a ski trip? Try this
Finding skiers a last minute holiday can be tough at the best of times, but it’s harder right now due to the fact that many Alpine resorts are running out of snow and pistes are closing left right and centre.
To make sure you send skiers to the best resort for their ability and needs, it might be worth taking a look at the new Skiers Gallery on Bing, which lists hundreds of ski resorts alongside their vital statistics, such as when it last snowed, what percentage of runs suit beginners, intermediates and advanced skiers and how many lifts are open.
The Microsoft search engine also includes colour photos of each resort so you can give customers an idea of what each place is like to help them narrow down their choice.
It doesn’t include every resort, but if it’s in a ski operator’s brochure, the chances are you’ll find it here http://www.bing.com/browse?g=ski_resorts&form=SGEWEB#toc=0
