Ready to ski the runs of your dreams? Discover huge terrain, big vertical, remote hidden descents and side valleys with untracked powder amid the singular scenery of the Alps — and all within a small-group guided scenario of a trip to remember? Join John and George’s excellent adventure!
John Hogg combines a local’s intimate knowledge of the vast terrain with an unerring ability to find great snow; he’s a man who truly loves to ski and bring the best out of his clients while taking care of their safety and wellbeing. Just at Davos-Klosters alone, John has well over 100 off-piste routes in his personal guiding itinerary.
You don’t need to be a great skier to join the group, but you do need to be fit and keen, able to ski powder and get down double-black-diamond runs at North American ski resorts safely.
Skiers will average about one-half to one hour per day of uphill walking on skins daily, while making
maximum use of the area’s extensive lift system. If you’ve ever considered guided off-piste skiing, this is your trip.

Who’s John Hogg?
“He’s a personal ski instructor and mentor, an uproarious raconteur, a technical consultant, a connoisseur of fine foods and wine, an equipment procurer, a logistics magician, a hectoring schoolmarm and an outrageously opinionated conversationalist. In short, a one-man rollicking non-stop Alpine off-piste road show.” —George Koch
