Off Piste Skiing Holidays
If you’re looking for challenging off-piste skiing or boarding we recommend some
world-class resorts for serious consideration. All enjoy more than their fair share of challenging terrain and copious amounts of fresh powder.
Off Piste Skiing in the Alps
In search of quality powder in the Alps? Off piste skiing can be easily found in numerous resorts in
Austria,
France and
Italy. They are also excellent destinations in which to celebrate your powder accomplishments, offering some of the best après ski in the world.
Back Country in North America
Champagne powder, that's what
USA and
Canadian resorts are famous for. It maybe too dry for snowball fights but the North American white stuff is perfect for experts wanting to explore the amazing backcountry terrain and test their powder technique.
Safety First
With more people than ever exploring unpatrolled areas, it’s vital to know the dangers and be prepared with essential safety equipment. If you’re going off-piste, we always recommend you take a professional guide with you. We also vouch for
specialist courses offered by many ski schools such as transceiver and avalanche awareness sessions.
Taking Your Own Equipment?
If you’re taking your own
equipment or borrowing a friend’s, remember to pre-book your ski or
snowboard carriage. For Winter 2009/10 the price is £15 return, and that gives you the peace of mind that
space has been reserved on your flight for your equipment. In the
unlikely event that it has to be off-loaded, it will be forwarded to
your resort as quickly as possible or we will provide replacement
equipment until it arrives. Leave it until you get to the airport and
you run the risk of there not being enough space, plus it will cost you
more.
