- The All Inclusive Packages

Smarter than Professor Stephen Hawking on Omega 3... thriftier than a single mum in Iceland... and proving more popular than Kevin Keegan in a Tyneside chippy; our all-inclusive options are the choice for wise folk (and savvy student groups) who consistently prefer the convenience over the self-catering packages.

This package offers one package at one set price. Included in your set price is:

UCPA - Possibly The Best Group Ski Packages In The World

For our all inclusive packages we work with the French organisation UCPA. UCPA are a well established independent organisation who are non profit making. They own all their own purpose built accommodation in the French Alpes and their operational aims are to encourage young Europeans to take part in winter sport, to save them money and to show them a fun time. Saving money, skiing or boarding and having fun, a great ethos we think!

At UCPA you get a young lively atmosphere with knowledgeable, friendly staff. Outgoing Ski and UCPA work closely together to ensure the students from the UK get a great deal and all their holiday needs are met.

Do The Math - Save Those Pennies!

OK, so the set price of an all-inclusive holiday may be slightly more than the price of a standard self catering holiday, but if you think how much you actually spend out in resort on living costs (endless snacks, dinner, those eternal supermarket runs), you end up saving big time by going all-inclusive.

Then think of the poor folks who haven't got their own kit. The starting price for standard skis and boots is usually about 45 pounds at least. Don't forget about lessons, not everyone might need them but for those that do they either pay about 60 pounds+ or go without because they can't afford it and we all know that can be a big recipe for disaster.

Many of our customers felt that the increase in price was justifiable for the food alone, and felt like they were getting hire and tuition for free.

Meals - Serene Cuisine

The food provided with your package will not disappoint. The menu is typically French, with a good choice of fresh local foods and also a range of international dishes. The quality of the food is excellent and the good news is that there is no compromise on the quantity. Fill your boots and eat until your hearts content there is always plenty to go around.

Breakfast is continental (fruit, yoghurt, cereal, bread etc) and lunch is a substantial 3 course hot meal if you want to come back to your accommodation. If you'd rather not return for lunch take the packed lunch option and you'll be sent off in the morning with sandwiches, crisps, fruit and yoghurt. After skiing tea and cakes are provided in the bar for those that fancy afternoon tea, dinner is then a 3 course substantial meal is served around 7.30pm.

Equipment - Top Gear

UCPA provide in house equipment stores, workshops and expert staff who are on hand for any questions or problems. The equipment provided is good quality and regularly refreshed. UCPA work in partnership with Rossignol and Salomon so you know you will be getting the best brand of material. Many UCPA residences are even used as test centres for new equipment so you know you will be in safe hands and you could even be trying out next seasons new material. For those that have their own gear there is the opportunity to try a different activity - skiers can board and vice versa.

Feel The Need For Speed..?

At UCPA the instructors can arrange racing/slalom comps for your group (or between different university groups) at the end of the week. A bit of healthy rivalry is a great way to end the week!

Accommodation - In-House Bar... Cost Price Booze!

ALL UCPA residences have great facilities within the accommodation. One of our favourite features are the bars - as a non commercial organisation the drinks are remarkable cheap! Many of the UCPA residences also have their own nightclubs, a great opportunity for your club to put on their own night or party.

Atmosphere - Unified & Communal

The best thing about these residences is that it keeps your group together under one roof creating a really fantastic group atmosphere, on a normal self catering holiday people can become a little segregated especially with larger groups as people tend to go back to their apartments and eat and drink with the few other people they are sharing with. At UCPA you have meals together in the dining room, drink together in the bar, hang out together after skiing playing on the Playstation or even lounge about with your mates in the TV room.

Facilities - One Price, One Roof, Lots Of Fun

Facilities that usually come as standard in each residence are bars, TV rooms, Playstation 2 and games facilities. A full social programm is also included in the price of your holiday, the staff at UCPA arrange all sorts of activities that are optional to take part in, and In addition to this Outgoing Ski reps also arrange a full apres ski programme.

Check out your options...

Nubie Option: (beginner level week)

A week with our Newbie option will transform your lame snow ploughs into cool parallel turns and your goofy-footed gravity-challenged failings into smooth descents. Confidence will banish cock up's and by the time we're through with you, the only time you'll sit on yer ass, will be on the chairlift! Seriously, a confidant skier/boarder is a safe skier/boarder. You'll be surrounded by people of a similar ability and benefit from a great social programme (go on the lash, as you learn the ropes, basically!), in addition to benefiting hugely from selective instruction, which is specifically designed for beginners / inexperienced / 'no confidence' skiers and snowboarders.

Pro-rider Option (advanced level week)

You eat black runs for breakfast, you feel the need for speed, and your confidence is higher than the Matterhorn... what's next? Our Pro-rider Option has been designed for experienced and capable skiers / boarders, who are looking to polish their riding skills and learn some race techniques.

We'll show you the A-Z (or from Alp D'Huze to Zermatt!) of expert snow sport knowledge, enabling you to max your mountain capabilities and see if you've got what it takes to ride professionally... whilst adhering to the Outgoing philosophy: ride hard; play hard! Intensive maybe, but tense? Not on your Nelly; you're on holiday after all - and take it from us - no one parties harder than the pro-riders!

Freeride Option:(free riding / off piste week)

The pistes can't restrain you, you long for powder like Amy Winehouse waking up, and are to be found playing amongst the trees and couloirs at every opportunity so it's about time you learned how to do it properly!

This week is geared for free-ride skiers /snowboarders. You'll learn how to gauge danger, how to safely approach riding the backcountry and what to do if you get into trouble. We'll also cater for your partying, and you'll hook up with free spirits from Uni's from across the UK. This is one week which could well save your life. Sign up and your mum will be dead chuffed and it will justify you asking her for that transceiver for Crimbo!

*Remember taking part in our Snow-Camp options isn't compulsory, but is recommended! But if you'd rather sit back and relax who are we to stop you..?!
