There really isn’t a better way to spend the festive period than waking up to a white blanket of snow covering everything you see. So why not pull on your gloves and strap on your skis or snowboard and head to the slope this year?

So, New Year's Eve in the mountains - you're on board, right? Just incase your not sure just yet, here are our top reasons to go skiing this New Year’s Eve:

1. The slopes around New Year are never as busy as you expect. Especially on New Years day itself, people will tend to stay in bed as long as they can, which means you will have pretty much free run of the slopes.
2. With the slopes being quiet, this will also mean that the queues for the lifts will be very small, if there at all.
3. Skiing over the New Year gives you the opportunity to create new traditions over the festive period. It is also the perfect excuse to get away from any unwanted family meals, cuddles and awkward knitted jumpers!
4. The firework displays that are put on by many of the resorts in Europe are too good to miss. These events are normally free and some can last as long as 20 minutes with music to go with it.
5. Most of the hotels and resorts celebrate New Year’s Eve with a delicious Gala Dinner, which you can book when you book your break.
6. New Year’s Eve skiing is a great way to burn off the excess calories that were consumed over the christmas period. It has been said that Skiing is the only sport where you can eat cheese everyday and still lose weight!!
7. You will be one of the few people who can start the New Year with a tan!
