Tom Robbins’ “White Weekends” is the definitive guide to ski breaks in Europe, offering expert advice and insider knowledge on where to go, how to get there, and where to find the best après-ski fun. Stunning photography, ‘Inside Track’ advice from those in the know, and honest appraisals from veteran ski writer Robbins, this beautifully-presented book doesn’t just tell you where to go, it evokes the spirit and atmosphere of each destination.

Covering all the top destinations and resorts in Europe, from the classic (Chamonix and Trois Vallées) to the novel (Heliskiing in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia), this guide is a valuable companion for first-timers or old hands. The resort, accommodation, dining and nightlife selections have been made with a wide range of budgets in mind. The focus is firmly on short breaks of just a few days. The guide also makes a solid attempt to offer something for all tastes; skiing and snowboarding of all styles and abilities, ‘new school’ winter sports, or off-piste entertainment and indulgence.

All the key practical information is offered - Ski pass prices, accommodation details, contact numbers - but Robbins’ personal reviews and stories also offer ski tips, recommended routes, uncompromising dining and nightlife reviews, and the background info on each areas’ atmosphere, culture, clientele and style. The guide features many ‘Inside Track’ appraisals from local experts, such as residents, professional skiers, resort staff and instructors.

Tom Robbins is ski correspondent and deputy travel editor of the Observer. He is a former Sunday Times investigative journalist who has left news behind to dedicate himself to ski writing.

Robin Gautier is a veteran nightlife photographer now concentrating on lifestyle and travel photography.
