Winter is  here,
and the holiday season
is well underway.

What wintertime treat is my personal favorite, you ask?  Eggnog?  Fresh cut pine trees? The gifts? Not even close.

The answer is skiing. What could be greater than speeding down a mountain over smooth, fresh, powdery snow?

This time of year,
 many people start thinking
about a  gay ski week  getaway! 



Telluride; Utah; Andorra; Switzerland!    Where to go?  So many choices!

How do you pick? Well for starters, if you are traveling in the US or Canada, there is a great new search engine.  A  search engine that works the same way users actually think. SnowTrax   helps you choose a ski destination based on whatever qualities matter to you – whether you’re craving expert-level steeps or family-friendly cruisers. “We can point you towards the mountains you will enjoy, applying our insider wisdom to suggest resorts based on terrain style, snow quality, après ski scene, and more.”

Even better, they help  you hunt down the absolute top value ski package by searching multiple mountains simultaneously. That’s right: uncover surprising travel deals by comparing to-the-minute fares at multiple ski destinations. Why pay more for a driving-distance hotel near Park City than a slopeside chalet at Vail? Choose your destination wisely by finding the cheapest mountains to fly to and the top value ski lodging option.

Diehard fan of Deer Valley? Addicted to Ajax? Even if you have sworn allegiance to one resort, Snow Trax will still rock your world. Compare hotels based on their proximity to ski lifts and bus stops – “we’ve painstakingly mapped the location of ski lifts and shuttle bus stops so you can judge hotels accordingly. View prices for the cheapest flights and the flights that will get you more time on the slopes – we’ll show you flights that can buy you an extra day of skiing in addition to the cheapest fare. Whether you prioritize convenience or savings, SnowTrax gives you all the tools so you can ski smart this season.”

SOON you will be able to search the world with Snow Trax  . At the moment, it’s just the US and Canada.
