Ski trips anywhere in the world, planned end to end: the Alps, Japan, Canada, the Rockies or the Andes. Where to stay, getting there, lift tickets, rentals and lessons, plus the fun off the slopes.
Tell me the mountain, or tell me what you want (powder, big vertical, après, a ski-in/ski-out chalet) and I'll suggest one. A few of the places I can plan:
Zermatt, Verbier and St. Moritz in Switzerland; Chamonix, Courchevel and Val d'Isère in France; St. Anton and Kitzbühel in Austria; Cortina, Cervinia and the Dolomites in Italy.
Famous powder in Niseko, Rusutsu, Furano and Tomamu on Hokkaido, and Hakuba Valley and Shiga Kogen on the main island.
Whistler Blackcomb, Banff's three resorts (Lake Louise, Sunshine, Norquay) and Québec's Charlevoix.
Lake Tahoe and the Rockies, from big resort villages to quiet condos near the lifts.
Portillo and Valle Nevado in the Andes: ski in the Southern Hemisphere while it's summer up north.
Untracked powder by helicopter in British Columbia and Alaska, for strong skiers who want the trip of a lifetime.
I've skied Zermatt myself, and it's a trip I love to plan. You ski with the Matterhorn above you all day, ride the lifts across the border to lunch in Italy, and come back to a village with no cars at all.
Everything for the trip, in one place, wherever the mountain is.
A rest day, a travel day or a day for the non-skiers. I can add tours and activities to any trip.
Resorts, lodging and tour companies pay travel advisors a commission when they book, so in most cases you pay the same price as booking direct and get someone in your corner.
Dates, who's going, ski level, budget, and whether you want ski-in/ski-out or a quieter spot nearby.
Lodging, flights, cars and add-ons side by side, with what each person's share would be.
Payments, reminders, snow-tire and chain rules for the car, and help if plans change.
Ski is first. Have something else in mind, like an expedition cruise or a guided tour? Ask, or see everything I plan at JVK Travels.
Tell me a little about the trip and it comes straight to me. I'll get back to you with options. You can also email me at jonathan@jvkcruises.com.
