Skier Winter Multi Activity List

We have a diverse range of activities to choose from and of course they are not all the same price!! So to make it easy for you we have divided the activities into three categories, Green, Blue and Red.

Each colour is worth a number of points:

Green Activities are worth 1 point
Blue Activities are worth 2 points
Red Activities are worth 3 points
Black Activities are worth 4 points

With this holiday you have four points, so you can choose a mixture of activities from each colour to make up your four points. Please note that some of the activities fall between categories and require an extra 1/2 a point. You can choose two of the same activity - eg two snowshoe walks.
