Alpine World Announces Group Tour Itineraries for 2000/01 Canadian Ski Season

Ask anyone today what the best mode of travel is and people will almost always tell you �small groups�.

Alpine World has been forging kind of tour to Canada for nearly 20 years, taking in some of the world�s most exhilarating skiing and snowboarding.

Alpine World group tours take you to at least two resorts, sometimes three or four. Whistler/Blackcomb, Sunshine Village, Lake Louise, Fernie, Big White, Jasper, Red Mountain � just a small sample of the destinations on offer. Combined with one of PJ O�Heaney�s YES Improvement Programs, these holidays will give you an Insider�s tour and some snow skills that will make experiencing the high country on skis or snowboard better than ever before.

Small groups allow you ease of movement like no other method of travel. There are no 45 minute waits while luggage is loaded�no marathon walks to picturesque view points because the coach can�t fit on the road�and no crowds to compete with.

Yes, a few of the resorts we take you to have a reputation of being crowded, but our guides are experienced enough to know where to go to get away from it all. In the less crowded resorts, take some time to venture out on your own and explore.

The people you meet in your small group will likely take up residence in your mind, as some of you�re most vivid memories. You�ll find the friendships and experiences formed on your excursion are the kind you reminisce about during an otherwise busy day at the office, scool or home.

Whether it�s a break from the summer heat or you�re quest to experience a white Christmas give one of our group tours a try.
