Looking at the snow and ice makes me wonder...

...who in their right mind would go on a skiing holiday?

I don't know, but given the choice we'll always head for the sun

Beats me.

Why anyone would choose ice and snow over beach and palms trees is beyond me- nutters.

Croydon High Street doesn't quite have the scenery as Val D'isere.

I wouldn't thank you for a skiing holiday, it has never appealed to me. Always sun and surf for me.

You would tend to have the correct clothing and equipment on a skiing holiday to make it pleasurable rather than a chore!

Went when I was thirteen with the school - hated every minute of it. Stupid 'sport' - takes a long time to learn and then all you do is break your legs anyway. Give me a beach any day.

Why go on holiday at Christmas at all? (ok if seeing relatives).
