I want to talk about something a little different today.
SkiExpeditions.org has been an idea in my head for years.
I’ve been trying to organize ski trips for the last two years, but if I’m completely honest, I haven’t really taken the project seriously until now.
So this is the first time I’m actually giving it a proper chance.
And I have a question:
Can this idea really work?
Why SkiExpeditions.org?
There are group trips for almost everything.
Yoga.
Hiking.
Diving.
Surfing.
Cycling.
Adventure travel.
You can travel alone, join a group of strangers and meet people who share your interests.
But skiing is different.
There are plenty of ski travel agencies, of course. But most of them basically offer hotel + ski pass + transfers.
And normally you go with your friends, your partner or your family.
If you don’t have anyone to go with, you often simply don’t go.
That’s what I think is missing.
What if you could just join a ski trip?
Imagine wanting to ski in Japan, Chile, Alaska, Kyrgyzstan or New Zealand.
You don’t have anyone to go with.
Instead of giving up, you simply join a small group of other skiers and snowboarders.
You arrive at the airport not knowing anyone.
And a week later you’ve skied together, travelled together, shared beers, dinners, adventures and maybe even made some new friends.
That’s the idea behind SkiExpeditions.org.
Not just selling accommodation and a ski pass.
Creating trips for people who love skiing + travelling + discovering unusual destinations.
And I don’t want to visit the usual places
There are already thousands of companies selling trips to the Alps.
France.
Austria.
Italy.
Switzerland.
Andorra.
They’re great.
But what about skiing in Kyrgyzstan?
Japan?
Chile?
New Zealand?
Alaska?
Georgia?
That’s the kind of trip I want to create.
Places where the journey is almost as important as the skiing.
But here’s the problem
Maybe it’s a great idea.
Maybe it isn’t.
People have told me for years that they love the concept.
But saying “that’s a great idea” is very different from actually booking a trip.
And that’s what I need to find out.
Maybe people don’t want to travel with strangers.
Maybe the trips are too expensive.
Maybe the destinations are too complicated.
Maybe the market is simply too small.
Or maybe…
I just haven’t pushed the idea hard enough yet.
That’s why I’m giving SkiExpeditions.org a real chance now.
I want your opinion
Would you join a ski trip with people you’ve never met?
Would you travel to Japan, Alaska, Chile, Kyrgyzstan or New Zealand with a group?
What would make you book?
Would you prefer groups of 5, 10, 15 or 20 people?
Would you rather travel somewhere exotic or stick to European resorts?
And most importantly:
What would you change about SkiExpeditions.org?
I don’t need everyone to like the idea.
I just need to find the people who say:
“This is exactly the kind of ski trip I’ve been looking for.”
Maybe SkiExpeditions.org will never become a huge company.
And that’s fine.
Maybe it just needs to become the place where people who love skiing and travelling find the trips they can’t find anywhere else.
So tell me honestly:
Do you think this can work?
