We appreciate that most of us prefer not to travel in groups, although many of our clients do. We’ve found that once a client travels with a group, they seldom travel alone again, and our group departures continue to grow.

The main reasons why: year after year, people choose to travel with a group to new locations. It's the FUN & CAMERADERIE, along with ambience and atmosphere, yet having the independence to do your own thing and choose accommodation that suits your needs, yet get all the benefits a group has to offer. It's hard to put it into words, but it’s the friendships that develop between like minded skiers/boarders; it’s the fun of sharing the day’s experiences in the restaurant or bar after a great day on the slopes; it’s the chance to enjoy skiing/riding by yourself or with friends and catch up with other group members on the slopes from time to time.

Joining a group doesn’t involve Hi-De-Hi holiday camp style activities. You have the freedom to come and go. Joining a group merely gives you the chance to share your skiing experiences with other like-minded skiers, and join in the fun and camaraderie that only a group can offer.

Our groups often have a theme so you’ll be travelling with people who enjoy the same things, such as family tours, senior tours, boarder and hostel tours etc. We always include some special events and services along with loads of other benefits that only group travel can provide.

Don’t worry if you’re a novice or intermediate skier: 70% of our clients are! So don’t be put off joining a group by thinking you’ll be the odd one out: you won’t be. There is always a good mix of skiing abilities, couples and singles on our groups. The stronger skiers will head off on the blue and black runs and their partners may be having as much fun skiing at a more relaxed pace with other group members. Yet you can still meet up with your partner for coffee or share a chairlift.

Think out of the square - you won't be disappointed!

Skiing in North America is an exciting and unique experience and is very different to skiing in NZ. It is hassle free, comfortable and everything is organized to maximise your enjoyment on and off the slopes.

That comes as no surprise to the thousands of Kiwis who travel to North America regularly to ski. But for first time North American skiers, it is always a pleasant surprise to find a totally dedicated ski resort built for skiers and boarders, right on the mountain.

Imagine a beautiful alpine village wonderland nestled in a valley surrounded by awesome views and snowy slopes. Imagine stepping out of your hotel door, putting on your skis or board and sliding down to a modern high speed chairlift, with no queues. Imagine gliding through soft powder snow in gently sloping glades or cruising down perfectly groomed pistes with no one in sight.

Imagine wandering around the on mountain village at the end of a perfect day on the slopes, soaking up the atmosphere as you walk to bars or restaurants for a cosy night of relaxation.
