Skiing in Serre Chevalier
Come December and the climate gets colder and one thing that comes to my mind is the sight of fresh white powder sprinkled all over the majestic alps, and am sure the very sight of it makes my feet sway around and eager to put on the skis and slide down the lovely slopes.
I felt it much better to book the Ski trip as a package, you get to forget the headaches of airport transfers, buying lift passes for the ski slopes, searching for good Chalets or hotels to stay and renting the ski equipments, so lot less hassle to bother. We booked with the RocketSki.com group, they had pretty good and very efficient on my last Ski trip.

 On a weekend we were actively searching for Hostels in lake district and to our dismay, all of them were booked for the weekend, and the lake side hostel did not have a availability check online, so we decided to mail them regarding the status, it was after 2 days we got
