 Poster: A snowHead

That’s right I’m on the couch under a blanket with the coal fire burning. The only thing I’m missing is a ski brochure to help me dream about resorts. Yes I’m writing this on a tablet but I do like a paper brochure and I can’t seem to find any nowadays
So snowheads help me out. Where can I get paper ski brochures from?
Or failing that paperback books that give me great reviews of European and North American ski resorts.

@Earlydoors, I seem to recall that "Where to ski and Snowboard" stopped publishing some years ago ('cos internet).
Times or Telegraph still have ski sections, in print I would expect?

@Earlydoors,
At least you have nice weather.
I’m here in sub tropical Brisbane Australia. It’s uncomfortably hot and humid already.
Aside from the obvious benefits a month in Europe in January relieves me of the worst of the flipping heat here.
Enjoy the fire.

I used to sit in my garden in August with my brochures, but have no need since I found snowHeads. Just book bashes and stay at my own apartment.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Did'nt you save ones from the past?
There used to be loads more resorts in them as well.
And the prices .. they would cheer you up as well.
I still have a stash of those old brochures ...
I keep them hidden ontop of the wardrobe

Old copies of where to ski and snowboard are still pretty useful the older editions of 'The good skiing guide' pre about 1994 when the editors changed were very well written and still have good information, though obviously lifts and hotels have changed a lot since then.

I suspect just about everthing will have changed in many ski resorts since 1994.
