A group of friends were unable to hit the pistes for the first time in 30 years after snowfall caused their flights to be cancelled.
Mike Chapman, 65, was due to fly out from Bristol Airport at 12.15pm on Wednesday with five others, but after waiting for hours, the group was informed that their easyjet flight was cancelled.
With no other flights today or tomorrow, the group decided to abandon their holiday plans, meaning they would miss their £6,000 ski holiday to Austria for first time in 30 years.
