Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

“Skiing is perceived as a niche and luxury holiday" [man from PricewaterhouseCoopers]

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
How do you perceive skiing?

I often reflect on the month I spent on a concrete floor of a six-bed apartment in Val d'Isere, along with 22 other skiers. Best month of my life! Then there was the week spent in a 'bed' in the same resort - chalet Grand Nord - that was worse than sleeping on the floor.

I once spent a week in a concrete corridor in Courchevel trying to run a ski test. That was bloody awful.

PricewaterhouseCoopers leisure director David Trunkfield takes the view that "Skiing is perceived as a niche and luxury holiday"

This man clearly needs an initiation ceremony. Has he stayed in one of those apartments in Les Arcs with pre-fabricated vacuum-moulded bathrooms with vacuum-moulded toilets and kitchen equipment barely functioning to boil an egg?

What sacrifices have you made from your normal domestic luxury to enjoy a slide?

Fair point (I'm trying to interpret that line in a Geordie accent). If the mods think the link etc. is too boring for this fascinating forum (the article reveals a switch in spending on travel, away from skiing to short breaks) ... then - by all means - delete the thread. A 20% slump in ski travel - if it's true - is pretty dramatic.

For most people that is probably true, the majority are not going to give up a summer holiday for a winter one. Not sure I'd use 'niche' though...

Just 2% of the UK population skis or boards annually.

An average ski vacation is roughly twice as expensive as an average beach vacation.

Skiing is niche and luxury.

Just because 2% of a population do something doesn't make it luxurious. What proportion of the population sleeps on a bed of nails?

I do give up a summer holiday and pretty much any other form of holiday to go skiing once per year. No luxury involved.

2% is niche.

2 x more expensive is luxury.
