WHAT MAKES A TOURPARTY SKIING HOLIDAY SO DIFFERENT?

Tourparty Laax Spring February Half-term Ski Camp 18 Cactus 150 200The Tourparty Ski Holiday and Camp concept has grown out of our own frustration as riders with the normal coaching, package holidays and school ski trips available to people wanting to progress their skiing and have a great holiday with like-minded skiers.

Now you can spend a week enjoying a unique holiday in one of Europe's best resorts with the best coaches... enjoy a great time on and off the mountain and see a massive improvement in your skiing too. The beauty of the Tourparty Camp concept is that we offer great value fully residential holidays for adults aged 18+ years... so you can come away on your own or with friends and have an unforgettable time... skiing all day every day with people who share your passion for skiing and your love of the mountains, and then relaxing in the evenings as you relive it all with new friends and look forward to the day ahead.

PLUS with the BRITS 08 going on through the week you have the chance to see (and participate in) a major championship, enjoy the week long snowsports festival taking place alongside the competitions, practice on freestyle and ski cross features in the best possible condition and soak up the atmosphere!

Tourparty Camps are sponsored by LINE Skis, Anon, Red and Burton:

“It was awesome, really high standard of skiing and coaching and a good laugh too. Right result!” (Tourparty Freestyle Camp, 23 years old)

WHO COMES ON TOURPARTY SKIING CAMPS AND SKI HOLIDAYS?

Tourparty Laax Spring February Half-term Ski Camp 01 Mountain Hostel Pipe 250We run camps and holidays throughout the year open to people of all ages, sizes and abilities. We have people aged 10 to 50+ years old, guys and girls. We have skiers who have never skied, skiers wanting to progress from blue runs to red runs, and from red runs to black runs. We have skiers who want to learn how to cope with moguls or to hit a kicker or rail or ride through the halfpipe in one piece, or float through powder and ski the backcountry ...and we have sponsored Pro Freestyle & Freeride riders fresh from winning medals at the BRITS and other comps who want to be coached by the best and have a lot of fun too!

You do not have to be an advanced or Elite skier to attend a Tourparty Camp! However good or inexperienced you are when you arrive our team of Coaches and Instructors will take you to the next level in a relaxed, fun way at your pace! Tourparty Camps are for everyone. As long as you have a positive friendly attitude and want to learn and help others learn, you will be at home at Tourparty and have a great time!

Having said that... Tourparty @ The BRITS 08 is a bit different to our normal Camps & Holidays. For the BRITS week we are not offering our full range of coaching options, from beginner to advanced. Instead we are focusing on skiercross (Ski Cross), freestyle and freeride coaching only. For this reason you will need to be an able intermediate to advanced skier, confident on red runs with some experience of black runs. You don't have to have had any experience of skiercross, freestyle or freeride (unless you want to compete in the BRITS 08 of course!) as that's what our expert Coaches are for... but if you are a beginner or relatively inexperienced skier or snowboarder we suggest you come out on one of our other Tourparty Camps first, and then join us for Tourparty @ The BRITS 09!

(By the way, if you are planning to compete in the BRITS, Orage European Freeski Open or any other competitions in Europe in February/March 2008 there can't be any better preparation than spending a week with the Tourparty coaches in Laax in February - check out our February Half-term Camps!)

IF YOU ATTEND WITH FRIENDS CAN YOU SKI WITH THEM, EVEN IF SOME ARE "ADULTS" AND SOME ARE "YOUTH"?

Friends or families of different ages wanting to ride together during the Camp are very welcome.

It does not matter if you are in different age categories (Adult and Youth), you can still ride each day together - assuming you are of similar ability and fitness. Just book the relevant Camp according to age and write on the booking form the names of the people you are booking with. (Family/friends on fully-residential places can share rooms too.)

We are very flexible. If you come on your own (as at least 50% of skiers do) we guarantee you will make loads of new friends in no time; if you come with people you know we will make sure you get to spend plenty of time together on and off the mountain. Either way we will do whatever it takes to help you have a great holiday, take your skiing to the next level and have lots of fun!

“Book it! A chance to get great coaching in a good resort and to try a range of skis too.” (Tourparty Freestyle Camp, 49 years old)

Les Deux Alpes, Summer Camp 2007 Dog 200CAN FAMILY / FRIENDS WATCH?

By the end of the week you should be hugely satisfied at your progress and achievement, and we will be too!

    We all want as much time on snow as possible... this means an early start in the mornings to get the best of the snow conditions... we start by skiing together as a large group to warm up and enjoy each other's company... then we divide into smaller groups depending on what you want to do for the morning - whether learn to ski or ski progression, freeride back country skiing, ski cross, half-pipe, slopestyle or rails and boxes etc - or it might be your turn to compete with the support of your coach and fellow campers. Each group has at least one Coach to give tips and share techniques, encourage and occasionally dig you out! We meet up at lunchtime and you are free to move to another group to do something different in the afternoon if you want, or to stay with your coach for the rest of the day. At the end of the day we meet up again to ski as a large group and share stories about the day before returning to the hotel to review the video tapes and have a relaxing evening either in the hotel or at the BRITS 08 events or doing an activity.

The only things not included are your travel to and from the resort, your insurance and your equipment.

Any standard Winter insurance policy that includes off-piste skiing (in patrolled areas), evacuation from the mountain (by helicopter), medical expenses, medical evacutaion home, equipment loss or damage etc should provide sufficient cover for a Tourparty ski holiday and skiing camp but it is important to consider carefully what insurance you need and to ensure you are fully covered as snowsports are by their nature an inherently risky activity. You might try searching for a good package using a price comparison website like www.moneysupermarket.com.

If you don't have your own you can rent skis, boots and protective equipment in resort no problem, click on the link for information about ski equipment hire.

Obviously places will be strictly limited on this trip - first come, first served!

    Trust us!!

The only things not included are your travel to and from the resort, your insurance and your equipment.

Any standard Winter insurance policy that includes off-piste skiing (in patrolled areas), evacuation from the mountain (by helicopter), medical expenses, medical evacutaion home, equipment loss or damage etc should provide sufficient cover for a Tourparty ski holiday and skiing camp but it is important to consider carefully what insurance you need and to ensure you are fully covered as snowsports are by their nature an inherently risky activity. You might try searching for a good package using a price comparison website like www.moneysupermarket.com.

If you don't have your own you can rent skis, boots and protective equipment in resort no problem, click on the link for information about ski equipment hire.

Obviously places will be strictly limited on this trip - first come, first served!
