Garmin^® the global leader in satellite navigation deliver the new must-have item for the slopes as it announces a series of GPS devices and a range of activities geared toward the snowsports enthusiast.

The wrist-worn Foretrex^® 401 is set to provide millions of recreational skiers and snowboarders with the fundamental statistics that they have long craved; how high, how far and how fast did we go today? Of course, this sophisticated, waterproof device is packed with extensive capabilities for the more inquisitive, but its simplicity makes it possible for everybody to get more from their time on the slopes.

Garmin has joined forces with More Mountain as a specialist chalet operator in the Alps to form an official Garmin Test Centre, offering More Mountain guests the opportunity to test-drive the latest GPS technology. At the end of the day, guests simply upload the day’s data, or ‘tracklog’, at Garmin Connect to review their movements and statistics including highest speed, total descent, total ascent, maximum elevation, total distance and much, much more.

To foster the competitive spirit that will no doubt arise, Garmin has created a season’s league table at www.garminsnowclub.co.uk to champion the persons that travel the fastest, the furthest, and the greatest descent. The victorious not only secure bragging rights for the year, but are then in with a chance of winning a week’s winter holiday at More Mountain so get riding!

There are many opportunities to try specialist snowboarding camps in Morzine now – everyone is doing it, however, we reckon here at More Mountain we add that little bit extra to give you even better value for money. This year, our Girls Snowboarding camp in association with the UK Pro Riders from Our Camp is aimed at women over the age of 25 who are looking for a more “mature” approach to riding the Snow Park and Half Pipe.

Couple that with social riding with like minded ladies and a few powder days thrown in for good measure, weather permitting of course, and you have the perfect mix!

This year we have decided to use The Loft as it sleeps 8 very comfortably in 4 luxury ensuite rooms with full size baths, a massive Flatscreen TV, great for video analysis at the end of the day plus also has L’Occitane Effervescent Bath Bombs to soothe the aches and pains of the day after a hard day on the slopes!

This year for the price of £659 UK Pounds, you get Free Lift Pass, Free Airport Transfer and 6 Days Coaching from Pro Riders at Our Camp, plus all the usual More Mountain extras like fabulous food, quality wine and girly goody bags.

For additional information, please see our camps page.

Have a little bit of luxury at The Loft this year… Anyone for Champage and Canapes Darling?!

Here’s to a great week!
