In advance of the forthcoming ski season ABTA has launched a new web page designed to help skiers get ready for the slopes.
In addition to health & safety advice the site includes a winter sports checklist and exercises.
Nikki White, head of destinations and sustainability at ABTA, said: "It’s not unusual to be out on the slopes for four to six hours at a time, yet many people go straight into a ski or snowboarding holiday without doing any training or preparation first. Preparing before you go can help prevent injury. Having the right equipment, knowing your limits when it comes to après ski and buying appropriate insurance, will all help your holiday go smoothly."
