Planning a Group Trip

What is a Group?
Please click on the links below for more group information:

A group consists of 15 or more skiers/boarders. Ski French- Swiss has the experience to handle groups of all sizes from small family outings to large trips for several hundred people.

Choose a Date
Save money by skiing Monday through Friday or at night. On weekends and holidays you can expect more people and higher prices. But, no matter when you plan your Group Ski Holiday, French-Swiss will help you decide on specific group needs to give you the most for your skiing dollar.

Plan Ahead for Unexpected Costs
Consider charging group members slightly more than the actual cost of the trip. It's best to be proactive and plan for unexpected expenditures.

Set Deadlines for the Group to Turn in Money
Set deadlines that give you leeway. Collect all monies in full prior to the trip.

Inform Your Group
Furnish phone numbers and your trip schedule to group members.

We strongly recommend that you promote lessons for your group. Taking lessons with a qualified instructor will make their experience more enjoyable and safer. People skiing/riding out of control may have their slope ticket taken away.

Make sure your skiers/riders know the Skiers Responsibility Code.

Know Your Sizes
If you are renting equipment you will need to know your tennis shoe size, your height and weight. This information determines how your skis are set so that your bindings will release properly. You should only ski on the equipment adjusted specifically for you. This is very important for the safety of you and your group.

Dress Right
The weather for southern skiing is very different than other areas and can change quickly. Make sure you are prepared. Because of the cold weather, snow making, wind chill and snow; goggles, hats and warm gloves are a necessity. Ski bibs will not only keep you warm but also keep you dry. Be prepared to rent or purchase these items. Dress in layers.
