UK holidaymakers taking to the ski slopes this season are doing so in style, it has been reported.
Fair Investment Company reports that according to Direct Line, skiers and snowboarders spend an average of £1,200 on clothing and equipment for their ski holidays.

Meanwhile, Fair Investment Company claims that it is an increasing trend among skiers and those on snowboarding holidays to purchase designer wear and equipment for use on the pistes.
In other ski news, it has been reported that the ski resort of Zermatt is to benefit from a new 24-hour train service.
