Spring Skiing; winter is over, but the snow must go on! by Andrew Regan

Just because the winter is over, it doesn’t mean the winter sports have to end. Most ski resorts remain open till mid-April, and with longer hours, sunny slopes, plus discounted lift passes and accommodation, spring is an ideal time to head for the slopes for some skiing and snowboarding. In spring you’ll find the slopes less crowded than during the winter months, and the snow is typically soft and sugary. Other advantages of spring skiing are commonly found with the onset of warmer weather, which sees restaurant and café terraces opening for BBQs and beer sessions, where skiers and snowboarders can sit in the sun and soak up some rays whilst enjoying the mountain scenery. Spring skiing and snowboarding typically offers a relaxed atmosphere on the slopes, and many resorts hold festivals, parties and carnivals to celebrate the end of another winter.

The Wireless Revolution by sam_eaton

For many, a holiday or short break in the beautiful South Devon area is exactly that. A chance to have a rest, ‘recharge their batteries’, escape the pressures and stresses of everyday modern life, leaving work and associated worries behind for a week or so. However with our increasingly mobile technology- the rise in laptop ownership, wireless connections and, of course, the mobile ‘phone - more and more tenants are seeking to stay in touch, for whatever reason, during their time in the area. With business owners/managers taking working breaks where it is vital to keep in contact with their office, others simply wanting to keep in touch with their e-mail traffic via a hot/g-mail account whilst away and teenagers increasingly ‘talking’ to their friends via the net, downloading music and playing internet games, there are many people who do not travel without their laptops these days. Friends visiting from New Zealand even brought their laptop when staying with us recently – a great way to keep in touch, and avoid going home to mountains of email messages, plus many people these days use their laptop for their diary, IPOD and other essential travel items!
