Fantastic activity ideas for corporate ski trips. Things to do for non-skiers on and off the snow, plus activities that bring entire groups together.

Besides skiing, a corporate ski event needs a full programme of activities to make it truly memorable. We offer a range of activities on & off the snow that can be incorporated into a group ski event and ensure that the event makes a lasting impact.

Non-skiers can choose some great activity options - good enough to make those on skis or boards seriously jealous. Not all resorts offer each activity, so please check with us to discover which options can be built into a destination programme.

Non-ski activity ideas

Here are some ideas for those who won't be skiing or snowboarding on the trip. Ski trip attendees can be non-skiers for several reasons, and there is only so much time they can spend in the hotel spa. Choosing a resort with a wide selection of non-skier activities is vital.

There are various options, from physical activities to the day spa. Non-ski activities are available in and around the ski area and offer the chance to meet for group lunches with the skiers.

Ski activity ideas

Some ideas to tweak a corporate ski trip's ski and snowboard programme. Night skiing is always a good option for those arriving in time to get gear and onto the lifts. Ski races can be arranged on private courses for groups requiring a bit of competition.

The better skiers can venture off-piste with a guide. Ski guides offer additional security and the ability to find the best conditions. Even in ski areas that are familiar to the group, a guide should be able to offer an enhanced experience. Guides can also take elite groups heli-skiing.

Inclusive group activity ideas

These activity ideas allow the entire group to come together for inclusive activities. They often (but not always) take place in the evenings as supplementary activities to the skiing, snowboarding, or non-skiing activities.

During the daytime, mixed abilities mean skiers will be in different areas, and non-skiers will be involved in separate activities. To generate a group dynamic, activities must bring the whole team together and various points of the event.
