If you like to ski, this is the infographic for you. Ski Holidays 2013 infographic from Home Away UK tells you where to find the best snow for skiing in Europe. Then as an added bonus, a few tips and facts to educate the reader about ski flags and types of snow.

Winter is here and the snow is starting to fall across the ski resorts of Europe and North America. Now is the time to start planning your next ski holiday, but before you do check out HomeAway’s fun guide to the slopes of Europe. We have also put together some interesting ski tips and advice including information provided by ski experts Nicola Iseard (Editor of Fall-Line Magazine) and Fraser Wilkin (Founder of Weathertoski.co.uk).

The information is well organized and the I like the simple, line-art illustrations.  By keeping the illustrations simple, they don’t pull attention away from the data.

Designed by This Is Visual, they provided a URL link to the data sources in the infographic instead of listing them out.  You can see the data sources at http://bit.ly/SpNJ1v, and the list extensive so I understand why they listed them separately.

The infographic should include both a copyright statement and the URL to the infographic landing page so readers can find the original when they see this infographic posted on other sites.
