Fighting the frost in Canada
Article Abstract:
Those considering visiting the ski resort of Banff, Canada, should be aware that it can be extremely cold there. For this reason, it is vital to wear many layers of clothing and to cover every area of exposed skin. Indeed, some skiers choose to wear a face mask. It is important to look out for signs of frostbite, and it is therefore very advisable to always ski with a companion. However, very cold conditions do not usually last very long, and the resort has many attractions. The snow conditions are very good, and there is excellent cross-country skiing too.

Warsaw
Article Abstract:
The city of Warsaw, Poland, is dominated by the Palace of Culture and Science, which was a gift to the Polish people in 1955 from Stalin. It is one of a considerable number of signs of Soviet influence which remain in Warsaw. Others include wide boulevards and ugly tower blocks. However, there are some attractive parts of the city, and it is now taking on a much more positive atmosphere. Some of its hotels now meet western standards, and there are some very good restaurants.

In the resort of Whistler, for example, there are many grades of slope, all of which are uncrowded. This resort and the neighbouring resort of Blackcomb are well served by lifts, and hotels are situated close to the gondola stations. There are large restaurant lodges two-thirds of the way up both mountains.
