The travel

Ten years ago, we spent a week skiing Verbier. Skiman has skied almost everywhere, and this week in Verbier was one of the top five of his life. Last year, we did a day trip to Verbier during our Chamonix, France ski week. Skiing the massive mountain, seeing the huge Mont Fort mogul field, gazing at the unbelievable panoramas surrounding some of the best skiing terrain anywhere.... it all rekindled Skiman’s love for this region and ignited a passion to come back again to spend a whole week skiing Verbier. The problem: since our visit 10 years ago: Verbier has become one of the most expensive resorts in the world and the price of the same package has doubled. Skiman was undaunted and focused like a laser on one objective: figure out a way to do a ski week in Verbier without the prohibitive price tag. It was not easy, but through persistence, luck, and the help of a wonderful lady friend of a ski guide, we have scored an unbelievable coup! We found a perfect Swiss hotel in the vil- lage of Nendaz, Switzerland. Nendaz is a charming medium-sized village that is part of the Four Valleys ski complex which makes up Verbier. A 200 meter walk from your hotel puts you on a lift that will take you to the entire Verbier system. Bonus: the ski area of Nendaz is big in and of itself. You could spend days skiing it. Add on the rest of Verbier and you have an area that will be impossible to ski in a week.

The skiing

Skiing: Verbier is spread out over four valleys. For intermediate blue cruisers, you will never run out of fantastic, scenic, trails that will take you to every corner of the resort.

Experts: Verbier is one of the hot spots in all of Europe for backcountry skiing. The amount of

off-trail terrain is among the best in the world. Last year, Skiman and his friends skied all day in Verbier and did only 3 off-trail runs! They were huge and fantastic! We will organize certified Alpine Guides to lead our expert groups to some of the best terrain you will ever ski. AND we will do at least one HELI day. You have to ski the Petite Combe glacier.
