July is upon us and the despite the sailing season being in full swing, our attention has still been on skiing, a theme which continues in this newsletter! The last edition was sent on the eve of our Iceland trip which turned out to exceed our expectations. It was a great recce trip and we have already confirmed a week for next year. If you missed the video edit, here it is again. Could this be you next year? Not content to call it a day, our eyes turned to some skiing projects in the Alps in June, with the number one objective being a ski ascent of Mont Blanc, at 4810m, Western Europe's highest summit. Skiing high altitude peaks in June takes extensive planning and training and after a failed attempt on the Weissmies (4017m), I was joined by Gordon Porteous acclimatising on the Allalinhorn (4027m) before successfully summiting Mont Blanc (4810m) via the '3 monts route' from the Refuge des Cosiques skiing the iconic 'Grands Mulets' descent. Once again the highlights are captured in a quick video edit... The skis have now finally been put away, but the focus is already on next winter, and what we can put together for you. As ever the early season is the best time to work on personal performance with quiet pistes and no queuing! Many of you took advantage of a long weekend last season for some intensive training to get rid of bad habits and set yourself up for your next trip. This year will be no different as we continue to offer these bespoke camps throughout Valais including Verbier, Crans Montana, Zermatt, and Saas Fee. We are also delighted to continue to organise bespoke family breaks throughout the season. Working again with accommodation partners such as Ski Armadillo in Verbier, and Meriski in Meribel, we can handle every step of your holiday so that you can relax and enjoy the skiing. The third and final strand will of course be our popular off-piste and ski touring adventures. Whether its a day exploring Verbier's world renowned freeride terrain or ski touring in untouched valleys, we'll make the best of conditions and deliver an unforgettable experience for first timers or seasoned pros alike. Send us an email or pick up the phone and we can start planning your 2017/8 on snow! In the meantime, here is a little teaser with some clips from last season...
