How each one works

Three ways in, and what a week actually looks like on each of them.

Book-It-Yourself Trips

  1. 01

    Pick your trip

    Join a window we're there for, or tell us your own dates. A $299 planning fee.

  2. 02

    We send your plan, you book it

    Flights, beds, transport and lift days, with what each one costs and the links to book them. You book and pay each one directly.

  3. 03

    Go, with us on call

    Message us before and during the trip: the forecast, where to ride, where to eat, who to call. If we're there too, come ride.

See Book-It-Yourself Trips

Pop-Up Lodges

  1. 01

    One price, everything in

    Your bed, breakfast and lunch every day, airport and mountain transfers, and the group. Dinners depend on the place. Lift passes and flights are on you.

  2. 02

    A small, capped group

    We keep the groups small on purpose, for a cosier lodge and a better week together. Solo travellers are more than welcome, and preferred.

  3. 03

    Bluebird on the ground

    Someone from Bluebird there when you need us, and a week built around riding and culture rather than logistics.

See Pop-Up Lodges

Custom Trips

  1. 01

    Tell us the week you want

    Your dates, your group size, and what you are looking for. Start with a free call to discuss everything in person.

  2. 02

    We plan it and book it

    We plan and book everything using our local knowledge, experience and connections. A planning fee quoted for your trip covers the plan, the bookings, revisions and a pre-trip call.

  3. 03

    You show up and ride

    Our drivers, guides, hosts and hospitality partners are expecting you and are there for everything on the ground. The Bluebird team is a call away any time during your trip.

Plan a custom trip

We only plan where we have people

These are the mountains we ride, have lived, and the towns where our friendships and connections are real. If we don't have trusted people there, we don't recommend or plan there.

Before you go

Snow reports, guides and the packing list

Our Instagram, the destination guides we send every group, the packing list, and a game for the days it isn't snowing.

Built to share our favorite ski spots and people in the world

Bluebird started the way most good trips do, with a friend saying "you have to come ride this place, I know exactly who you should meet." Years of riding and returning to these mountains became the network behind every plan.
