Weekly programme, social hour, and contact details
The three-valley network of lifts and pistes is anything but small-scale. Champoluc is at one end of it and Alagna at the other – they are 17km apart – slightly further apart than Courchevel and Val-Thorens. However, it’s around a four-hour trip by road to get from Alagna to Champoluc if you miss the last lift.
Given the lack of international exposure it retains a friendly, small-scale, unspoiled Italian ambience. Yet it offers some of the best off piste in the whole of Italy.
The Monterosa Ski Area employs dynamic pricing, with the topline rate varying between €38 and €67 per day, depending on time of year, day, and demand. Discounts off this topline day rate are available the further you book in advance, when booking online, and booking consecutive days.
You can use your Ski Club Membership card to load your Monterosa Ski Area lift ticket, either online or at the ticket office, and avoid the €2 fee for purchasing a new RFID card from the resort. More details can be found here.

A really, really mixed bag is in store this weekend for Italian resorts, with some areas benefiting from a ramp up of winter conditions right before winter, others not enjoying quite the same fate by dint of geography.
The southwest will see a fairly standard pattern, temperatures falling as the weekend progresses and getting some good snowfall making it over the Main Alpine Ridge from France. Sauze d’Oulx will see around 15cm of snow on Sunday, enough to give it a really good boost just before the start of the Christmas week. Cloud and cold conditions will continue, with the occasional flurry of snowfall to freshen things up over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day itself.
Cervinia and the high ground of the Aosta Valley will be best placed to capture this upcoming snowfall, with a foot expected down on Sunday and then again across Monday and Tuesday combined. This will fall across all elevations as the freezing line remains firmly rooted to around 500m elevation. Christmas Day itself is expected to be fine, dry and bright, with cold temperatures and plenty of sun, making for near-perfect riding conditions after the previous snowfall!
Finally, in the Dolomites, a much calmer, brighter weekend and Christmas week is in store – but this does come at the cost of missing out on snowfall. High pressure will remain dominant, meaning sun will be present on Saturday and again in the new week, interspersed with cloud cover and flurries of snow. This won’t really be much to register on a snowstick at all, most of the snow here getting stuck on the Austria side of the Main Alpine Ridge.

A member of Ski Club in the 1984 and I did the Leaders course in 1998. I love extending peoples skiing so they make the most of the mountain and their vacation. Both on / off piste and in bars. I have enjoyed repping in Austria, Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland. In particular Wengen, Davos, Sass Fee, Zell am Zee, Mayrhofen, Les Arcs, Sun Peaks Resort, Alpe d'Huez, Tignes, Cervina, Champoluc. The only racing I do is in the Murren Inferno between 9km and 15km. I now cycle about 30- 75 miles at the weekend to keep my legs fit for skiing. Being out doors is fantastic. My goals are to cycle the Cheshire ring (the hard bit is avoiding the pubs) and Trans Pennine Trail. In the Mountains I am planning to walk / climb the East ridge of the Eiger in Wengen in the summer. Also A circular hut to hut tour in Sexten Dolomites, Italy most spectacular scenery. Any 3- 7 day ski touring trips I can fit in the Spring.
I have been lucky enough to have been skiing from a very early age, coming from good Austrian/Cornish stock; I spent my early winter years on the mountains surrounding Innsbruck learning and perfecting my falling with style technique. Since then I have had a couple of years racing, and qualified as an instructor, while serving in the army. Squeezed in 5 seasons working as an instructor/guide in Kitzbuhel , perfected the game of nails and acquired a taste for schnapps. My passion for skiing and the mountains has never diminished. As a Rep I look forward to sharing this passion and enthusiasm with others who feel the same...
We are still early in the process of assigning Reps for the 2024/25 winter season. Thank you for your patience whilst we make these arrangements.
I have been an avid skier since becoming hooked as a teenager, and spend as much time as possible in the mountains with my family. I became a rep in 2018 and am loving winter adventures with the club.
To date I have repped in Alagna, Kitzbuhel, Whistler and Baqueira. This winter I’m ‘stoked’ as they say in Canada to be representing the club on the inaugural Canadian Safari bucket list trip, as well as resort repping in Champoluc, Monte Rosa.
Away from the mountains I enjoy trail running, sailing and strumming my old guitar.
I love spending time in the mountains and enjoy skiing on piste and off piste whenever the opportunity arises. When not skiing I enjoy mountain biking and surfing.
Love skiing, from cruising the blues to steep and deep. Whatever it is I'm just happy to be on the slopes. When I'm not doing that I like being out on my bike in and around the North Downs.
