“I discovered Morningstar Ski Tours in 2017 when I was looking for a group of like-minded skiers who want high quality skiing in a variety of resorts. Since then, I’ve joined “Dan the Ski Man” on several trips to less visited resorts in the northern Rockies and, in recent years, to Switzerland, France, and Italy. Every trip has been a success: great skiing, comfortable accommodations, and delightful companionship. In Europe, guided skiing is Dan’s specialty. The resorts are huge, and the guides are masters at finding the best snow, exploring off-trail, and keeping everyone safe. I’m excited about France and Italy in 2026! If you are looking for serious skiing at a reasonable price, you need to check out Morningstar. I can also recommend Morningstar’s tour of Puglia, Italy. If you want to explore a corner of Italy that is off most tourist’s radar, Dan and Deb know the area very well. Plenty of culture, history, and good food without the crowds. Check it out. You won’t regret it!”
