With the UK now in the middle of winter, many Britons may feel inspired by the chilly weather to book cheap ski flights and jet off to enjoy the real snow of the piste.
Rushing down the slopes with the wind in their hair, for many winter sports enthusiasts skiing may be the perfect way for them to unwind and leave the pressures of work behind.
However, while holidays are frequently a time to escape responsibilities, skiers have been asked to keep one thing in mind - their speed.
Swiss insurance firm Suva has noted that improved winter sports equipment, more advanced techniques and the well-maintained grooming of the slopes has meant that people are now able to ski faster than ever before.
Brian Sparks, speaking on behalf of the group, said: "There are two things when you are skiing; there's everything you can control and then there are the other people."
The Guardian's Phil Daoust recently stated that getting fit could better allow holidaymakers to get everything they want out of their time on the piste.
