The Snowball annual ski event is where the whole Snowball story all started. Every year a small group of professional people de-camps to a five star ski resort to share knowledge, search for ideas and answers but most importantly, escape the structures and pressure placed upon them by their jobs. The results have been life changing.
How many ‘friends’ do you have? Probably thousands of social media connections. 150 people who really count. And only a few who can ‘adjust’ your mind. Now imagine spending a long weekend away with a small group of people who are all as sharp as a knife and as open as an ocean. The pooling of fresh thinking and creative inspiration. That’s Snowball.
Anyone. Anyone with a great idea. You need faith - both in yourself and your thinking. You need to be kind, thoughtful, resourceful and generous of spirit. It also helps if you’re part of a well-connected community who can help you reach influencers, find money, make change happen. In short, you need access to a force that will support you. That’s Snowball.
Speaking of changing the world… We are once again partnering with Ecologi to make Snowball a climate positive event, by planting trees and funding carbon offsetting projects. Check out our virtual forest to see our impact to date. You can also contribute via this page, or as part of your registration.

Besides the skiing (or boarding), Snowball organises lunches, dinners and après ski drinks at some of the best Alpine spots, interspersed with thought-provoking discussions hosted by members of the group. These activities are carefully designed to bring everyone together to exchange ideas and make meaningful connections. Even if you're not a skier, Snowball can provide alternative activities, from husky dog racing to wood carving.
Snowball 2025 will take place from Wednesday 5th to Sunday 9th March. For the super time poor, there's also a three-night option from Thursday 6th to Sunday 9th March.
Set at the foot of Mont Blanc, just a 90-minute transfer from Geneva, the picturesque high-altitude resort of Courmayeur is one of our favourites. Offering something for everyone, skiers enjoy the compact but wonderfully varied ski domain with 42km of pisted slopes, extensive off-piste, and excellent conditions for all abilities. Non-skiers are also spoilt for choice with activities ranging from panoramic helicopter flights, snowshoeing on the glacier, dog sledding and relaxing in nearby thermal baths. Courmayeur is a lively resort boasting fantastic food and drink options both on and off the slopes, and a traffic-free centre with plenty of après ski options.
Completed in 2019, this luxurious 5* hotel is considered the best in Courmayeur and is featured on the Leading Hotels of the World list.
Just steps away from the ski lifts for the Plan Checrouit slopes, the whole hotel is ours from Thursday to Sunday. The hotel offers comfortable bedrooms designed using traditional alpine materials, with stunning views over the Alps, a fantastic lounge bar, gym and spa.
