WHY?
We have created this event so that all of us who work in the industry can fill that long summer gap between seasons with some more snow!

The Summer Weekender is a chance to catch up with friends, enjoy the Alps and - if you want to - represent your company in the Industry Ski Champs.

Don't take it from us...
"The combination of skiing in the morning and sunny afternoons filled with volleyball/tennis/mountain biking or a refreshing dip in the lake…it really can’t be beaten.  The great thing about the weekend was with so many different activities and  competitions there was something for everyone, and for those who really aren’t competitive, there’s the evening entertainment, which was mainly uncompetitive – although some of the drinking games did turn a bit serious… ;-)"
James Gambrill, Travel Plan
