Emirates Holidays, the tour-operating arm of Dubai-based Emirates Airlines has unveiled its new ski brochure.

Recognised as a regular fixture on the winter sports travellers' calendar, the launch of the ski brochure extends Emirates Holidays' offerings, including the most exclusive Canadian ski resorts of Whistler Blackcomb in the Coast Mountain range North of Vancouver, and legendary Lake Louise, located in the heart of the majestic Banff National Park.

With 15 ski resort villages and 64 hotels in six countries, the new ski brochure provides an extensive choice of flexible and affordable quality packages to families, as well as couples, singles and groups.

'After the success of last year's ski brochure, we are delighted to introduce this year's edition with a brand new destination. This is part of our main priority of keeping the product wide, innovative, and exciting,' said vice-president commercial operations, Emirates Holidays, Dina Al Herais.

The ski brochure also includes prominent ski resorts in the world such as Seefeld in Austria, surrounded by magnificent mountain panoramas and also popular with non-skiers and families; the fashionable St Moritz in Switzerland, winter playground for the international jet set; Cortina D'Ampezzo in Italy, considered the queen of the Dolomites; Val d'Isère in France, selected to host the 2009 World Skiing Championships; and Lebanon's best ski destination, Faray Mzaar.

Winter sports holiday makers can enjoy over 2,000 kilometers of ski slopes, catered for all levels of skill - from beginner to advance - as well as a wide range of other activities, including snowboarding, skating, tobogganing, paragliding, scenic walking and sleigh rides.

Valid till March 31, the ski brochure offers much more than sun, snow and superb skiing as travellers can also enjoy vibrant après ski, exceptional restaurants and sparkling entertainment.
