Crumbs, what on earth is happening to our weather? Summer fells like Autumn, Winter like Spring, how can winter sports enthusiasts get their fix without at least a modicum of freezing temperatures and snow? Skiwear sales are of course affected as is cold weather gear particularly the ubiquitous ‘down’ jacket. But things are about to change….or at least we are being told things are going to change!

2014 Winter Olympics

23 Nov 2012 16:27:37

Welcome to Russia's newest ski resort thanks to the Winter Olympics 2014! Virtually unknown to the general skiing public only a few years ago, Sochi has now become a household name. The 2014 Winter Olympics were awarded to Sochi in July 2007 and this thrusted the town into international headlines and the snowsports media descended. Sochi wasn’t a “resort”, more a town with a big mountain range on its doorstep. There has been a massive investment in the area since the Winter Olympics were awarded.

 

The three main ones are Rosa Khutor, Mountain Carousel and Gazprom, named after the Russian energy company. There are now hotels being built around the bases of each resort with some very expensive hotels as well as cheaper, more European style options. The Grand Hotel Polyana lies at the bottom of Gazprom while the main hotel at Rosa Khutor is the Park Inn Rosa Khutor. The master plan for Sochi as a ski resort is to have 58 lifts and 150km of runs, spread over several mountains. This puts it on a par with many of the main Alpine resorts. This isn’t expected to be complete before the 2014 Olympics but the Russians are intending Sochi to become a resort that’s a serious contender for attracting European visitors. I'm not sure you'll see the most fashionable skiwear here, but I guess you can expect fur and one-piece a plenty!

Getting in Shape for the Ski Season – Part II

Well, it’s me, back again!  Just thought I would give you all an update on how it’s going with the old fitness slog.  It’s amazing how quickly the change from Summer to Winter happens, just three weeks ago I was running into work in just t-shirt and shorts but this week has been a total nightmare, I’ve been soaked through to the skin within minutes of leaving the house and been blown about all over the place

Winter Holiday Check List

13 Sep 2012 14:09:43

Things can and do go wrong on holiday and many people deeply regret not taking out travel insurance. Credit card accident cover, home insurance, or private health cover is usually not sufficient. An emergency abroad can be extremely expensive - if you need to be returned to the UK it could cost you thousands of pounds, unless you are adequately insured. The FCO cannot pay bills for you and you may need to call on a family member or friend to help you out.
