Skiing is great for a number of reasons, but have you ever thought about how it can have a positive impact on your mental health? Taking a break away from the stresses of home and work, and getting out on the slopes can really boost your mental health. Let’s take a look at a few reasons why.

Put a Smile on Your Face – Skiing is one of those sporting pursuits that have been known to bring happiness to those who participate, even if it’s just for a short holiday.

Breathe in the Fresh Air – Being outdoors is good for your health, lowering your stress levels and increasing the feelings of happiness. The outdoors can boost your immune system with fresh air destroying stale minds and bodies.

Broaden Your Horizons – A ski holiday takes you travelling to new places, something that gives you an inquisitive and creative mind, as well as lowering your fear levels.

Socialise with New Friends – We are social creatures and Après-ski is a great place to make new friends and meet old ones, exercising your brain with new conversation and a laid back approach to your social life.

Beat Depression with Exercise – If you suffer from depression, anxiety or stress, regular exercise can really help you over the long-term. A skiing holiday gives you as much fun and exercise as you would otherwise get over a much longer period of time.
