Due to a someone unfortunately dropping out, I have one space left on a press trip to Italy's Aosta Valley, where we'll be skiing the resorts of Monterosa (Champoluc) and Courmayeur, and staying in some charming rustic but chic accommodation. We'll also be skiing with a world champion skier, Drew Tabke.

Freelancers welcome, but must have a confirmed commission
