OK, so they might not have the best powder, 200 lifts and a million kilometres of pistes to track – but for a quick weekend snow fix, you can reach all of these resorts with just three hours travelling time from the UK (well, roughly…). As long as you live relatively near an airport, there’s no excuse to not hop on a plane on a Friday and be back at your desk come Monday morning – all without taking off any precious holiday time. That can be saved for your Whistler pilgrimage later in the year.
