On Snow Experience

The real pull of Grimentz is the off piste, and with access to Zinal via the Sorebois cable-car, you will have the option to explore even more of this extensive back country terrain. This trip consists of six full days skiing off piste with a mountain guide. Groups will be divided based on ski profile. This trip is aimed at Advanced (Purple) and Expert (Gold) off piste skiers. If you are unsure of your level please see our Ski Profile Page. At the end of the week you will receive an updated grading from your guide or Ski Club Rep.

When participating in a Purple/Gold off piste holiday you should be prepared to do some ski touring at some point during the trip. Where possible the lift system will be used to access off piste terrain, however if you need to venture further afield in order to access the best off piste conditions, then your guide may suggest ski touring. This will all be dependent upon conditions and the guides you have on your trip.

I completed the repping course in December 2022 having been a ski club member for around 10 years, mainly skiing in Val d'isere where I've skied with some really great people and made some good friends. I started skiing in 1986/7 when I did a season in Val d'isere working in Dicks T Bar having never skied before I turned up looking for a job followed by a season in Meribel for a tour company. I've been lucky to have skied in many resorts around Europe including Val d'isere, 3 valleys, Zermatt and La Grave being some of my favourites and are looking forward to skiing with ski club members in some new resorts. In the early 2000s me and my wife Kathryn worked for Silver Ski for 2 seasons running a chalet without ending in divorce. To keep fit I enjoy cycling both road and mountain and playing golf and walking with my cocker spaniel in and around the North Yorkshire dales and moors close to where I live.

I started skiing aged 11 with my parents and so began a lifelong addiction. Back in the 80’s I ran the ski club at Newcastle Poly followed by 2 seasons in Meribel before returning to the world. Since then I’ve squeezed in 2-3 weeks recreational skiing a year. Now the pressure of work is easing I hope to spend longer in the mountains and am looking forward to skiing with fellow club members. Off the slopes I’m a keen downhill mountain biker and also enjoy walking, sailing and getting away in our camper van.

Holiday FAQs

Everything you need to know about Freshtracks holidays.

What is a Freshtracks holiday?

Freshtracks holidays are group ski trips organised by the Ski Club of Great Britain for solo travellers, couples, and friends who want to ski with like-minded people. We offer social skiing, instructional, off piste, and touring holidays. On all holidays, a dedicated Freshtracks Rep will be on hand to make sure the holiday runs smoothly.

Find out more here – Holidays – Ski Club Of Great Britain.

Are single rooms available?

Single room availability will be shown in the "View Dates & Prices" tab on each holiday page, located under the holiday name. If single rooms are available, this will be clearly stated there. If no single room option is listed, unfortunately this means they have already sold out.

Sometimes we can request additional single rooms from the hotel. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

When will I receive my final holiday itinerary and information?

This information is usually sent out 7-10 days before departure. It will include your final itinerary, Freshtracks Rep contact details, and any important information relating to your transfers, flights, and accommodation, depending on what is included in your specific package.

I am unsure of my ski profile. How do I know what profile I am?

Freshtracks holidays use a ski profiling system to ensure you’re skiing alongside members of a similar ability, creating well-matched groups and a more enjoyable experience for everyone.

We recommend reviewing our Ski Profile page and selecting the profile you feel best represents your current skiing. The profiles are there to help us place you on the right holiday, so please choose honestly to ensure you get the most out of your time on the slopes.

Our Ski Profiles

If you’ve been on a Freshtracks holiday before, your Rep will give you an official grading at the end of the week. This will be recorded on our system and available to view in your Ski Locker.

Do I need to be an expert skier to join a Freshtracks trip?

No. Freshtracks holidays cater to a wide range of skiing abilities, from early intermediates to advanced skiers. Each trip includes detailed information about the recommended ski level so you can choose the right holiday for your ability.

I'm a solo traveller. Would I be suitable for a Freshtracks holiday?

Absolutely. The majority of Freshtracks guests travel solo – in fact, 85% of our guests last winter were solo travellers.

Our holidays are specifically designed to help you meet other passionate skiers and feel part of the group from the start. Group dining, organised skiing and fun social activities all help to create a friendly, relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, making Freshtracks an ideal choice for anybody travelling alone.

Are lift passes and ski rental included in the holidays?

Ski rental is not included on Freshtracks holidays and is arranged separately. That said, Ski Club of Great Britain members enjoy access to a number of ski hire discounts, which can be found on our Discounts page.

Ski Club of GB Rental Discounts

Please note that inclusions differ by holiday when it comes to lift passes, so it’s important to check the Essential Info tab beneath the holiday title, as well as the "What’s Included" and "What’s Not Included" sections at the top of the holiday overview page.

I have a group flight included. How do I check in?

For Freshtracks holidays that include group flights, it is not possible to check in online beforehand. You simply need to turn up to a manned check-in desk with your passport on the day, where you will be checked in and issued with a physical boarding pass.

Make sure you read the full travel information in the Travel tab and, once you have booked, keep an eye out for your final information document. This will provide further details on your baggage allowance.

If flights are included, can I bring a ski bag?

Ski carriage cannot be pre-booked and is payable at the airport.

We are ATOL and ABTOT protected so you can book with confidence knowing your money is secure.

Our holidays are a great way to meet and ski with other members of a similar ability to you.
