Welcome to Gary Woods homepage and ski site.

 

Alpe D'Huez, France - 2024


Welcome to the new version of the website, still work in progress, with huge thanks to great friend Ranga for the conversion to more modern technology!   The Next Trip promotion page, this one, is being worked on as you read this, but registration for the trip detailed below is available via email now.   There is a Facebook Group, Snow Party, if you wish to join that, with an Event for this trip, which points here.   The Archive pages will be restored soon after that.

Suffice it to say, with Covid in our rear view mirrors, for now anyway, I've put a little ski trip together, not least of all, because so many have asked me to, hurrah!   We return to Alpe D'Huez after an 11 year absence, to a well rated boutique hotel, just 2 minutes walk to the nearest lift, and a 10 min walk into town.   This combined with reliable snow conditions, civilised flight times, and only a 2.5 hour transfer from Chambéry airport, you only need to email me your details, and confirm your absence with the boss.

As in recent years, we will have only a week or so to confirm our collective interest in the option, the initial allocation, 20 places, goes to those who commit first, and if that fills up quickly enough, as usual, I will attempt to extend the allocation to include a few more (possibly at a slightly higher price). but if I can't, you can only blame yourself for poor decision making skills.

Please check out the details below, as ever, great skiing, and boarding, is expected around our resort, if there's enough snow. The price is just £1,055 each - including flights, half-board accommodation, local taxes and transfers. The 2 for 1 deal on lift passes expired at the end of July 2023, and I have secured this for those that registered and confirmed before that date. The current lift pass offer is "buy 1, get one half price", making these about £206 each, until that offer also expires, so please do not delay!
