Balkan Holidays
Easy Guide to Booking
Skiing and Snowboarding Holidays
If you don’t know much about skiing then booking a skiing holiday can be confusing, but don’t worry, Balkan Holidays are here to help! We’ve put together this easy guide to booking our skiing holidays.
First, there are ski resorts in Europe, North America and Japan. Ski resorts are located in mountain ranges and on the mountains are what we called ski runs or pistes, these are what skiers ski down! There are different types of ski runs depending on how steep they are, a steep ski run is called a ‘black run’, a medium ski run is called a ‘red run’, and easy ski run is a ‘blue’ run and a beginner ski run is called a ‘green run’. When you look at a piste map of a ski resort you will see lots of green, blue, red and black lines, these are the different ski runs plus you’ll see straight lines, these are the lifts that skiers use to get to the top of a ski run or the mountain itself.
An experienced or advanced skier or snowboarder will ski ‘black’ ski runs or even go off piste (where they are no marked ski runs), a medium or intermediate skier or snowboarder will ski ‘red’ runs and a beginner skier or snowboarder will ski ‘green’ ski runs first and then move up to a ‘blue’ ski run.
Skiers and Snowboarders also want to know how high a ski resort is and how many ‘marked runs’ it has. How high a ski resort is will affect how much it snows, the more the better! And the amount of ski runs means there is varied skiing.
