¡ The SUPER El Niño GRANDE !
One week.
Destination TBD.
Wherever the snow is.
This winter, a very large, very warm blob of Pacific Ocean is about to rearrange everyone’s winter plans. It’s shaping up to be one of the strongest El Niños on record, which means some places will get buried and some will get rain, and every forecaster on the internet is very confident about which is which. Classic.
So let’s not guess. Book the week. I’ll find the snow.
How it works
- Pick your week. $1,000 retainer holds your dates and goes toward your trip. It also buys you a guide who will refresh snowpack charts at 5 a.m. so you don’t have to.
- Kickoff call. Tell me about your crew: how you ski, how many of you, what you want to spend, and where you’ve always wanted to go. Also where you’d rather not. No judgment.
- The season does its thing. I watch storm tracks, crunch snowpack data, and text friends on 4 continents asking “how’s it looking over there?”
- Options call. Three weeks out, I bring you three trips with updated conditions, a 10 day forecast, terrain overview and anticipated budget. Low drama.
- Final call. Two weeks out, one more week of storms, we pick a location. I lock in lodging and guiding. You book flights and pack your bags.
- Go ski. Somewhere it’s actually snowing.
Who it’s for
People who’d rather ski deep snow somewhere unexpected than ski rocks somewhere they booked in November. Flexible, curious, passport handy.
Limited weeks, obviously.
