Winter sports
Winter sports have become increasingly popular with UK tourists since the 1970's. Once only available to the rich, the development of winter sports resorts in France, Italy and other European countries and increased availability through cheaper flights, package holidays and an improved motorway network has made winter sports accessible to far more people over the last 40 years or so. Increased affluence through the later years of the twentieth century meant that more people were able to afford two or three holidays each year and choose to spend one of these in a winter sports resort. Many people have been introduced to winter sports on school visits where they learn to ski or more often today, learn to snowboard. One of the great thrills of winter sports is that after a few days most beginners can manage to ski or snowboard with some confidence and begin to explore the magnificent winter mountain environment.
