TOURPARTY BACK IN LES DEUX ALPES, FRANCE - SPRING SKIING GALLERY NOW ONLINE
_200_250.jpg) We love Les Deux Alpes and are happy to return each year for some excellent bluebird skiing every Spring... although this year there was more snow than sun... but still everyone had a great time... there were two Tourparty Skiing and Snowboarding Camps: the first, from 29 March to 5 April 2008, comprised a small group of Irish skiers who sure knew how to party and didn't mind wearing some crazy "old school" fashion on-piste to put a smile on the face of the fellow riders; the second Camp, from 5 April to 12 April, comprised a larger group of all ages who made huge progress under the guidance of the coaches and had a fantastic week despite the difficult snow conditions - yes, it snowed heavily though the week... in April... how about that!
We will be posting a report here soon but meantime check out some of the pics now online:

 DIRTTRIBE MOUNTAIN BIKING SUMMER CAMP ROCKS!
We are just back from an amazing week in Les Deux Alpes for our first DirtTribe Mountain Bike Summer Camp, run in conjunction with the Tourparty Skiing Summer Camp and Tourparty Snowboarding Summer Camp.
The Summer Camp was brilliant. We had participants from all over Europe (France, Ireland, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, UK etc) of all ages sharing their love of the mountains.
The weather was fantastic, the mountain trails and freeride park were great, the Coaches did a brilliant job keeping everyone entertained and helping all participants to progress their mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding to the next level, the range of activities from "beach volleyball", swimming, tennis, trampolining, golf to crepe eating etc proved a huge hit and in no time everyone had made friends and were already talking about booking for next year!

"IT WAS BRILLIANT" - TOURPARTY EASTER SKI & SNOWBOARD CAMPS A HUGE SUCCESS!
 We've just returned (in one piece!) from two amazing weeks in the French Alps with the Tourparty Ski and Snowboard Freestyle and Freeride Camps and it was brilliant! The snow was perfect, the coaching was excellent, the resort was great... and the atmosphere was fantastic!
Last year's first ever Tourparty Camp, organised by Tourparty and sponsored by LINE Skis, was a huge success so this year Tourparty decided to run two weeks of Camp over Easter in Les Deux Alpes, France.
 Burton, Red and Anon came on-board this year as sponsors and the Tourparty team expanded with Burton Pro and Snowboard Coach Posy Dixon, Ski Coach Andy Evans and Tourparty staffer Craig Hume joining Ski Coaches Pat "Sharpie" Sharples, Gavin Carruthers and Rick Hutchings who returned from 2006.
Skiers and snowboarders on Tourparty Easter 2007 came from all over the UK and beyond, with one rider coming from as far as the Lebanon!
