SnowCarbon - the green way to go skiing

For those of you looking for a more environmentally conscious way to go skiing, SkiWeekenders has stumbled across a great website covering all you could ever want to know about going skiing by train!!!  http://www.snowcarbon.co.uk/ offers advice, online booking with all of the major operators across Europe, resort reviews, and easy to read guides on how best to travel by train to some of the best resorts in Europe.

The site is easy to use, and provides plenty of advice on the best options and routes.  The Resort guides are independent and well written and include train specific ski packages which are available for each of the resorts.

Travelling by train is a great option if you are going for a longer trip, but I'm sure with SnowCarbon making it this easy it could become a viable option for longer weekends aswell.

Take a look and let us know what you think.
