CANADA - SENIORS SKI ADVENTURE

Trip Tour Leaders

Steve Ward

You’ve heard the saying – I liked it so much I bought it. Well, that’s almost the case with Steve. After taking part as a client on our escorted ski groups for five years, Steve returned in 2012 as a Seniors Tour Leader and continues to take ski/board group tours. Steve has been skiing in Australia and New Zealand for over 30 years now and is a bit of regular at Perisher and Mt Hotham. He is totally enthusiastic about all things skiing and particularly relishes returning each year to the magic of the powder, guaranteed ski days and non-stop fun in North America. Steve lives in Sydney, Australia and loves his new role and meeting a whole new group of new-found friends – along with all the friends made over the past years on these group trips.

Linda and Stephen Clews

Linda and Stephen’s association with the company began in 1996 when they first travelled as customers on a group dive tour. That sold them on group active travel so much that for the next 12 years they travelled with the company’s group dive trips. They learned on their travels just how much difference a good tour leader can make to the experience. In 2008 diving gave way to a reigniting of their passion for skiing and our group ski tours were the natural choice for Linda and Stephen. Linda and Stephen have skied extensively in British Columbia, Colorado and California and have been leading ski tours since 2013. This tour will be the seventh time that Linda and Stephen have skied Silver Star, Big White, and Sun Peaks so they definitely have the knowledge to help you make the most of the amazing skiing that these fields offer.

Trip Itinerary

This group tour will show you the best of what Canada has to offer over three resorts. First off, Big White.
