Whether you are looking for some serious adrenalin-pumping action on snowmobiles or want to enjoy the peace and quiet of cross-country skiing, you will find an AITO member who can organise it. Experience the fresh mountain air on snow shoes or escape deep into the forest on a cross-country trail, where all you can hear is the gentle sound of your skis on the soft snow. Adrenalin junkies may prefer more hair-raising pursuits. Leap from a helicopter into deep powder and ski the Rockies on virgin snow – the ultimate thrill. Or why not head off to the Arctic Circle, stay in an Ice hotel or experience the excitement of a dog-sledding holiday?

• Enjoy the peace of cross-country skiing in Sweden – it is relatively easy to learn and a great work out too.
• For the adventure of a lifetime, heli-ski on the light powder snow at Whistler or snowcat ski in the tranquil backcountries at Fernie in Canada.
• If you want to get totally off the beaten track, a dog sledding safari may be for you, staying in log cabins along the way.
• Fancy catching your own dinner? Have a go at ice fishing in Newfoundland and have fish for tea!
