The Ranger Rover all-terrain vehicle is rarely, if ever, stopped. She is up to any challenge, no matter how difficult. But paper can withstand anything, so stunt driver Ben Collins - the first Stig from Top Gear - put the promise of the Ranger Rover Sport to the test in practice. And I couldn't have picked a more difficult terrain. With the SUV, he also went down the ski slope in Mürren, Switzerland, one of the most picturesque ski resorts where Wengen is located, where the spectacular ski tests on the Lauberhorn slope are held, thus demonstrating the incredible capabilities of the vehicle in the best possible way.

France has many interesting ski resorts due to the Alps, but the most interesting is their lowest lying ski resort in the ski center of Nœux-les-Mines, 600 kilometers from the first hills, which lies at an altitude of 129 meters above sea level and winds its way down a hill of waste ore (located in a former mining area ). It is the first ski resort of its kind in Europe, but it has another special feature. It does not need snow, as it is skied on a plastic carpet.
In Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, an interesting facility is planned. The residential complex "Slalom House" boasts its own ski slope! Yes, you read that right. And from the top of the building, it will be possible to ski on the curved track all year round, but the 300-meter track will not be covered with snow, but artificial snow will be laid on it, this is Snowflex, a material made of synthetic materials, which is laid like a carpet and behaves like natural snow.
Are you interested in how the F1 race car drives in the snow? The Red Bull Formula 1 team staged a real show in the famous Kitzbühel ski resort, where the famous Hahnenkamm Cup competition takes place every year, in which the Dutch racer Max Verstappen and the Red Bull RB7 car played the main role. The audience had something to see!
Those who have already visited the ski resorts in the Alps this year wonder who stole the winter. After 2000, almost all Christmases in Slovenia were green, and 2015 (unfortunately) was no different. A white Christmas has clearly become more than just a thing of the imagination of the past, rather than a reality. But, as said, it is even worse. Alpine ski resorts are also showing a poor image, and some popular destinations are already starting to suffer chronically from a lack of snow. Photos from the field show the price they are paying for the unusually warm weather this year.
Did you know that in Sweden, McDonald's opened McSki, the ski version of McDrive? Yes, you read that right. In the popular Lindvallen ski resort, you can enjoy McDonalds treats without having to take off your skis. It's true that McDonald's is known for its interesting restaurants, but you probably didn't think you'd ever find it in the middle of a ski resort, did you?
The winter equivalent of the inconvenience called road congestion when we drive to the sea is a line in front of a chairlift or cable car on a ski slope. But the future promises us smart ski resorts that will improve the user experience of skiers and enable us to meander for a longer time and wait in line less time. At least that's according to a project launched at Vail Ski Resort, which has a dedicated EpicMix mobile app (soon to be available for Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone) that provides real-time information on the condition of the ski lifts.
Are you sure you know the best ski resorts? Winter is in full swing, but the snow cannons don't shut up because, with a few exceptions, the surrounding ski areas are not exactly covered in snow. But the winter holidays of 2015 are approaching and many people will take advantage of them to visit ski resorts and cut white slopes with curbs. Although we have one of the best ski resorts in the world in our (in)direct vicinity, you probably haven't even heard of some of the best. But only until today. You're welcome.
If the "dinner on the edge" offered by the Krvavec ski resort in its cable car is not enough of an adrenaline rush for you, then we suggest that you take a break in the cable car of the Courchevel ski resort in the French Alps, where, with a little luck, you will be able to spend the night 270 meters above the ground.
Hiking through the snowy landscape is undoubtedly a special winter experience, so we invite you to join the Hike&Bike team and go on a romantic hike under the full moon at the Vogel ski resort.
Soon we will be able to wipe the dust off our skis and ski boards, put on warm overalls and ski goggles and run with the wind in our hair on the beautiful ski slopes of one of the most fashionable ski centers that Europe has.
