Hello all FSM members,

Updated April 18, 2025

I’ve updated the flyer with more current pricing that includes:

• Accounting for the higher Euro exchange rate, I hope this will get better and I can reduce the cost in the future.  Let’s hope the value of the US dollar does not degrade further.
• I increased the air pricing (it’s part of the total) as we believe the round trip will be more than anticipated. We are still working on air options and hope to have this firmed up by the end of April.
• The above two increases account for about $225 increase.
• I added the single occupancy rates for the Sport Hotel Village in Andorra and the Hotel Continental in Barcelona, both of which are substantial.

I can’t believe its that time of year again when I plan for next years trip, but spring has sprung and so have my travel ideas. Skiing the Pyrenees mountains in the beautiful micro state of Andorra has been on my radar for many years.  Andorra is sandwiched between Spain and France and is home of some of the best skiing in Europe.  It is also known for one of the most economical ski vacations in Europe and plays a crucial role in Andorra’s economy (up to 80% of their GDP at its peak season), another words….its their specialty.

I’ve been working with Snow Tours on packaging and pricing and I’ve selected the Soldeu sector to stay and ski as it provides a wide variety of blue and red runs, which are beginner and intermediate colors in Europe.  There are also black runs for advanced skiers but I want to go somewhere that meets the needs of 90% of our skiers which is intermediate to intermediate/advanced.

Even though our pricing is currently an estimate (Air pricing will not be available until April) I have come up with a best estimate of the total price for skiing Andorra with an optional extension to stay in Barcelona for 3 days after the ski week.  Of course the price can change but we (Snow Tours and I) picked a price that should be pretty close to the final.

Because hotel booking is critical, I need your $350/pp deposit for Andorra and Barcelona, or $300 for Andorra only, by April 18th so I can pay Snow Tours the down payment for the hotels.  I need to know if you are opting for the extension to Barcelona as well.  See the attached flyer for pricing and payment details.

NOTE: All participants must be part of the group booking without deviations.  Due to excessive work arounds we need all to participate as part of the groups without doing separate air or land arrangements.

I will offer this to FSM members only during April and then I will open it up to the Hudson Valley Ski Club and other friends that are not in FSM.  I believe there is a lot of pent-up demand for a trip to Europe, so don’t delay in getting me your deposits. There are 42 spots and only your deposit will confirm you a spot.

Attached is my flyer you can review or print out to see all the details.

• Note that only $55 of your $350 deposit (for Andorra and Barcelona) or $350 (for only Andorra) are non-refundable.  All deposits and payments will be refundable until August 31st when cancellation penalties start kicking in.
• Also, I highly recommend you purchase insurance. Not just for the cost of the trip, but in Europe you have to pay to get taken down the mountain if you get hurt.  These costs and hospital/hotel costs are big money.

I look forward to hearing from you.  Please fill out the registration below to show you plan to attend.
