Mission:
To inspire through passion and enthusiasm for the outdoors.
To provide a fair exchange product with value for money.
To be open and honest about what my trips provide.
To communicate efficiently and at the right level with members.
To provide safe exposure to adventurous activities through the use of approved and known providers where necessary.
I believe that access to adventurous activities should not be hindered by jargon and affordability and that communicating my values to people is key, as is providing a value for money alternative to big corporate companies.
Products: Ski Trips from adults to 16 year olds. Groups are as welcome as are individuals. slalom course flags are in the background.
 
I began organising trips while completing a degree in adventure education at Chichester University in 2004. I believe that passion and enthusiasm for these activities enables me to provide an honest and accessible route into adventurous sports. I strive to engage and interact with all people personally on every trip. Afterall, I believe that participation far outweighs excellence! I am looking to provide trips around surfing, skiing, climbing and canoeing to groups that have the desire but are just a little unsure how to go about it. All trips are custom and run as and when my schedule allows me to organise them. To provide affordable, relaxed adventurous trips for all, regardless of skill level. Facebook. Please understand that these trips are organised solely by me and are run as a group of friends skiing. I am in no way a fully bonded travel company. I merely facilitate things for us to go skiing. Came across this sign in Tignes last February. Had to wonder if the level referred to the skiing ability, or the level of language required!!

Dates:
17 to 24 December 2011
We will depart London late 16th Dec (19:00) and should be able to ski on the Sat afternoon. To get home before Xmas the coach will leave the slopes a day early.   So the coach trip will be leaving the slopes on Friday 23rd in the afternoon to get us all back before Xmas (around munchtime on 24th Dec).  It will mean 6 full days skiing.

Where
As it is early in the season, I have booked a resort with access to a glacier, has a large ski area and has something going off the slopes as well. Oh, and it is probably the most vast resort I know of.
Tignes (watch the video) has the best ski area I have ever ski’d.  I would go there every year but the fact is, it is usually too expensive to do so!  This year it seems we have hit the jackpot!  It is huge (265km), you can ski over to Val D’Isere, get an express funicular to the top of the glacier at 3500m from resort level, which in itself is at 2100m.  The UCPA is ski in ski out and is situated a short rope tow from the front door.  You can ski back.  This resort caters extremely well for all levels.  There is plenty for all to ski.  It is so vast that is able to be very beginner friendly as well.  Has loads of fast lifts, long cruising runs and is just the best place I have ski’d.  It has decent shops, a few bars and generally a very nice place to ski.

Accommodation:
Again, we are off to the UCPA as they offer fantastic value for money and we get entertainment, subsidised bar, lessons, ski hire and loads of brilliant food!  Some rooms are twins, others in fours.  Last February I stayed in a twin with a balcony and en suite facilities.  So it will be mixed size rooms.  More later though.

Costs
Only £576 for everything.  Lessons, transport, glorious food, ski and boot hire, accommodation and a full Espace Killy Lift Ticket.  Everything.  I have finalised a deal with Action Outdoors for this package to Tignes, provided we get 40 people going and are able to pay deposits ASAP.  Use the voucher codes soon to book yourself on the trip. They expire 28th August. Please contact me if you have any questions
