On Saturday 25th of February I’m off to Chamonix on a snowboarding press trip.

I was last in Chamonix three years ago attempting to improve my snowboarding but my strongest memory is of three of us rodeoing up the button lift before someone plugged the emergency stop.

I may be a little rusty, but I’m really looking forward to pushing my skills to the next level and with a just little under a week on the slopes it should be the perfect opportunity.

The snow trip is being organised by Travelllll.com and Expedia and the team consists of Lezaan Roos from Travelllll.com plus Lea Hajner and Peter Anegg from tripwolf.com. We used Expedia’s handy new Facebook app, Snow Companion to plan as well as  vote on preferred destinations and accommodation.

We’ll be in Chamonix for a week and you can follow all action on the hashtag #ExpediaSnow, I’ll be using this hashtag on Google + too.
