Felicity Moss’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Aspen Snowmass
With over 35 years under her belt visiting and recommending the best snow destinations in the world, Felicity is truly an expert on all things snow travel. Appealing to all the powder hounds who think first and foremost of skiing the perfect run, Felicity’s top recommendation is:
“Ski down the noon groom at Snowmass on a beautiful sunny day after fresh snowfalls. The groomers spend all morning preparing perfect corduroy conditions – be early to ensure you are one of the first down to enjoy big carving turns all the way to the bottom.”
Melissa Tomkins Must-Do Snow Experience in Wengen
Melissa’s must-do global snow experience of 2019 was seeing first-hand the eclectic atmosphere at the Lauberhorn Ski World Cup in Wengen, Switzerland. One of the highest-attended winter sports events in the world, these exciting races feature the longest downhill course in the world, an awe-inspiring airshow by pilots from the Swiss Air Force, and a ton of entertainment and feasting opportunities: a truly unique and unforgettable snow experience!
Bruce Hartley’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Revelstoke
Bruce heliskied with Selkirk Tangiers Heli Ski in March 2019 and ranks it as one of his best snow experiences to date. Pristine, untouched runs down high mountain glaciers with light dry powder snow. A truly exhilarating once in a lifetime experience or a great new hobby, you decide.
Sarah McMutrie’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Aspen Snowmass
According to Sarah, not trip to Aspen is complete without hiking the Aspen Highland “bowl” and skiing down. The hike is tiring but you are rewarding with a real sense of achievement, breathtaking views, and a glorious run down!
Maaike Fraser’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Canada
Ever watched an ice-hockey game? You might not know all the rules or who to cheer for but you will definitely have a lot of fun! Maaike went to her very first Canuck’s game in Vancouver and has come home a fully fledged ice hockey fan! For a slightly different, but quintessential winter experience, she highly recommends checking out a game if you’re travelling through Canada. Games are full of entertainment, excitement and that trademark North American (slightly cheesy) sense of fun!
Sarah Anne Russell’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Japan
Looking for a winter holiday with equal parts thick snow and exotic culture? Deliciously deep powder, traditional onsen hot springs, and a charming Japanese village combine to make Nozawa Onsen a truly unique must-do snow destination. Make sure to add a visit to this wonderful snow resort when planning a Japanese snow escape!

Tahni Garo’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Sun Peaks
Tahni considers the Sun Peaks Evening Fondue and Starlight Descent one of the best snow travel experiences in the world. You’ll go the mountain for a deliciously indulgent fondue dinner with friends and then ski back down the mountain on freshly groomed runs with a full moon and a sky full of bright stars guiding you. The perfect winters night!
Laura Donoghue’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Saalbach
Planning a trip to Austria? Laura has a hot snow tip for you! For a fun night out in Saalbach, she recommends taking the snow cat ride to the Spielberghaus for a delicious dinner and drinks complete with a traditional lederhosen-clad Austrian band. To cap off the night, enjoy a floodlit toboganning ride down the mountain – even more fun when you’ve had a few drinks
Maddie Geraghty’s Must-Do Snow Experience in Vail
Maddie’s must-do snow experience for any and all powder hounds is skiing the back bowls at Vail on a beautiful bluebird day, finished off with a lively apres-ski at Garfinkels. Because ultimately, that’s every skier or boarders dream day, isn’t it?
Everyones Must-Do Snow Experience in Whistler
Many of our travel agents have tried ziplining in Whistler and they all come back saying the same thing: it is one of the most spectacular things you will ever do. Slightly terrifying, absolutely exhilarating and completely life-changing. Plus you’ll get to take in the stunning views of Whistler backcountry as you fly through the air.
