SUPER SOCIAL SOLO TRAVELLER FRIENDLY

53%

of our guests arrive alone

(And they stay that way for roughly three seconds.)

The rest are: with their partner 22% · small crew 18% · one travel buddy 17% · whole damn crew 6%

Our March Ski & Wine week was 80% solo. Stop waiting for your mates to commit. Val Thorens, 6 March.

You're 30, and you're probably a she

30median age

55% women

65% are 25-34 · 13% under 25 · 22% are 35+ · youngest 18, oldest 63

Rise Festival this year is currently 53% men, what's up ladies you don't like electronic music, après and 2000m+ of skiable vertical drop?

Mostly from the English speaking world

Aussies, Brits, Americans and Irish made up 60% of last years bookings

…the rest come from 25 other countries

Georgia had 8 nationalities in 17 guests. And we're doing it again in February over two separate weeks.

Designed for skiers and boarders of all levels

64%

ski, 33% board, and 1 in 5 have never done either

First timer 19% · green 9% · blue 20% · red 19% · black 20% · Team Go Fast 12%

41% of our January week had never skied before. If that's you, 9 January. If you're Team Go Fast, Livigno had the most black-run skiers and 74% boarders. 28 January.

You'll drink anything

When we asked what kind of wine you prefer

65%

ticked "open to anything"

White 38% · red 37% · bubbles 33% · rosé 29% · don't drink 2% (we look after you too) · one guest: “will likely bring gin from duty free”

The April crowd went bubbles and rosé in the sun (54% and 46%). Spring skiing, Les Deux Alpes, 3 April. And Georgia guests were the red-wine people (53%), which is convenient, because Georgia is a red-wine country.

You'll be on the hip flask by lunch

This year's Rise crew, asked when après starts

30%

said 2pm–5pm

“Hip flasks all day” 27% · 11am–2pm 17% · “after the skiing is finished, you degenerates” 17% · “depends on the vibe” 10%

52/64 are already booked — 12 spots left. Rise Festival, Les Deux Alpes, 5 December.

You're celebrating something

71%

of guests we asked were celebrating

Birthdays first, then: two proposals, one engagement anniversary, one divorce (“worth celebrating, right?”), one vasectomy, “surviving dry Jan,” and a lot of people celebrating “life.”

Nobody's gotten married yet, but a few people are still with someone they met on one of our trips.
