THREE COUNTRIES, FOUR RIDERS, FIVE DAYS… 14-18 JAN 2009
OUR MISSION:













To ski three countries in five days, inspiring snow sports enthusiasts to put the adventure back into their holidays.

In January, I am undertaking a trip for which press coverage reaching nearly four million readers in the UK and North America has already been agreed - covered by world class journalist Leigh Mytton, for who amongst others writes for the BBC, Telegraph and numerous snowboard and ski magazines. We want to inspire people to put the adventure back into their holidays and to reconsider what Europe has to offer, instead of fleeing to far-flung destinations. The timing is good too, because - with the recession - more people will be staying in Europe this season.


The trip will take place between Jan 14 and 18. With the following Itinerary;




  • January 14th Avoriaze


  • January 15th Chamonix


  • January 16th Courmayer


  • January 17th Cervina/Zermatt


  • January 18th Sass-Fee
