To ski or not to ski that is the question for those of us who like to slide away for a winter break.
Whether it is snowglobler in the mind… sorry we’ve started early on the Christmas sherry.
But with the ski jacket back on for the frozen north of Britain that is Scotland thoughts turn to whether to give it another outing on the piste.
Forgetting, of course, the fallings and throws of outrageous fortune (sorry, I’ll stop now) on the slopes.
EasyJet does it
Of course there is as always a choice with EasyJet flagging up their budget ski holidays and winter ski breaks.
The important thing, as always, is that we give ourselves a treat and a getaway.
The airline is teasing us with £27.99 one way.
While they’re indulging those who aren’t interested in skiing – or those other skiers would prefer for their own safety weren’t on the slopes.
With city breaks around Europe from £149pp.
Of course on closer inspection it’s even better than that.
We were drawn to the Austrian jewel that is Salzburg within easy train reach to the ski hub that is Soll.
With EasyJet offering a trip out to Mozart’s birth city from London Gatwick for what we’re calling a Magic Flight, for £17.99 one way.
Czech out Prague
Now there is never a bad time to take in one of Europe’s great cultural and fun cities, party-loving Prague.
And EasyJet will put you up in the Hotel Majestic Plaza close to the city centre for £300 for you and your significant other.
With the only slopes you’ll need to negotiate are the climbs up and down to the Castle Area.
And the steps up the Astronomical Clock or down the steps to their nuclear bunkers.
And don’t worry if you see what looks like babies climbing the TV tower… it’s just David Cerny’s arts masterpiece.
You, of course, will be able to take a lift up to the restaurant at the top and look down on them.
Remember now to toast each other or whoever you are with and EasyJet whatever you do.
Whether it’s to ski or not to ski or you take a city break… you deserve a great break.
