While the 2011-12 ski season has been one of the best, with Europe having registered record snowfall in most resorts, British skiers preparing for the coming season should consider trying out new ski venues, according to UK-based Monarch Airlines.
The airline is offering new routes to Friedrichshafen, and Munich in Germany, and Grenoble, in France, from Manchester and Birmingham Airports in the UK.
