Our tours are perfect for every level of skier, from the beginner to the extreme expert. Most of our skiers are intermediate in their skiing level. If that describes you, you will have no problem finding plenty of friendly folks to ski with.
For the experts, Skiman will hook you up with guided backcountry and helicopter skiing that you will never forget. Guaranteed! Because our tours to Europe offer many day trips and extension tours that do not involve skiing, many non-skiers join us as well.
There really is something for EVERYONE!
We are experienced...We have organized 24 ski weeks in Europe over the past 12 years, taking over 2,500 skiers with us. We have been in business for 23 years and have taken thousands of clients all over North America, New Zealand, and South America as well as Europe. We have also organized extension tours to 10 European cities.
We CARE about our tours and our customers! Dan and wife Lynn go on every one of our ski packages to make sure everything possible is done to insure a well-run ski tour. If something does go wrong, though, you know where to find us! OVER 2,500 SKIERS have joined us on our European Alps Ski Vacations over the past 12 years, and countless thousands more have come along on our domestic and Canadian tourr. Join us and you, too, can be a part of the Morningstar Family!
We are not a huge operator and we only do as many trips as we can go on ourselves.
We do all we can to ensure a quality experience for our guests.
Dan and Lynn travel to Europe the summer before every one of our Alps adventures to visit all our destinations and find interesting and exciting venues to offer our guests. We also inspect ALL hotels we are using to ensure they are up to the standard our guests have come to expect from us.
