Travelling Solo?

Start With Something in Common

Hosted Ski Escapes let you travel independently without experiencing the destination alone.

From the first day, you’ll be part of a group that shares your love of skiing. You can enjoy the reassurance of familiar faces while still experiencing the trip in your own way.

"In Japan, here I am all by myself hiring a guide I don't know from a hole in the wall. Whereas with Skican, they chose that company and those guides for a reason. I've been on nine or ten trips. I keep coming back. That tells you something." - Krystyna

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning a ski vacation comes with plenty of questions—and we're here to help. Here are answers to some of the questions we're asked most often.

Planning a ski vacation takes time—comparing destinations, accommodations, flights, lift passes, transfers, and countless other details. We simplify the process by helping you choose the right destination, building a personalized itinerary, and coordinating every detail from start to finish. That means less time planning and more time looking forward to your next adventure.

A Hosted Ski Escape is an expertly planned small-group ski trip with a set destination, departure date and itinerary. A Skican host travels with the group to help bring the trip and shared experience together.

Your host welcomes the group, communicates itinerary details, coordinates planned activities and helps the trip run smoothly.

Not necessarily. Some departures include planned mountain experiences, while others allow guests to ski independently and reconnect for activities or meals.

Yes. Hosted Ski Escapes welcome solo travellers, couples and friends. Ask us about rooming options, single supplements and the departures that may suit you best.

Ability recommendations vary by destination. Your Experience Manager will explain the terrain and trip style honestly so you can choose the right Escape.

Inclusions vary and may cover accommodations, transportation, lift access, flights, meals and cultural experiences. Each Escape page clearly identifies what is included.

The core dates and itinerary are shared by the group, but we may be able to arrange independent pre-trip or post-trip extensions.

The Skican team can help communicate updates and navigate issues involving arrangements booked through us.

No. Your consultation with one of our Experience Managers is completely free, with no obligation to book. If you decide to travel with Skican, a $50 CAD booking fee applies to cover the administration of your reservation and coordination of your itinerary.

The earlier, the better. Booking early gives you the widest choice of accommodations, flights, and travel dates—and often the best pricing. It also means we can build the trip you really want, rather than settling for what's still available. If you're travelling during holidays or peak ski season, we recommend starting your planning several months in advance.

Yes. We'll help you choose destinations that make the most of your Ikon or Epic Pass and build a customized itinerary around it. Whether you're planning one trip or several throughout the season, we'll help you maximize the value of your pass.
