A life-long traveler and mother to two young boys, Alli is passionate about crafting unique and lasting travel memories for all. Travel has been a consistent theme since her early childhood and she can barely remember a time she was not begging to go on vacation. From studying abroad, to chaotic corporate travel, planning global ski trips, enjoying golf getaways, indulging in food-focused city visits, and relishing countless family vacations, Alli has traveled extensively throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. Alli launched Avant Ski, a comprehensive ski and travel platform, just before for the 2018-19 season in North America. Her ski clients soon sought her expertise to plan their adventure travels internationally, and Avant Travel was born.
Alli spent nearly a decade on Wall Street, though her true passion has always been fitness and travel. Alli loves to explore new places and could not be more excited to share her learnings along the way. Alli loves all things active. She runs marathons and has completed the Abbott Six Star Challenge and aspires to run marathons on all 7 continents. You can find her running around NYC, either chasing her two sons or training for her next marathon. Alli studied Biology and Economics at Stanford University and has an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
Travel is my passion.
hi there!
Our Partners





Alli was absolutely fantastic to work with! Our travel plans were a bit unconventional compared to her typical clients, but Alli was incredibly flexible and eager to accommodate our unique adventure request. Her extensive knowledge of the Pacific Northwest was invaluable; she curated a comprehensive list of activities that perfectly suited our family's interests. Not only did Alli handle all our hotel bookings seamlessly, but she also surprised us with a thoughtful note at the last hotel, adding a special personal touch to our stay. When I had concerns about catching a ferry at one of our destinations, Alli went the extra mile by checking in with us on the day to ensure everything went smoothly. Her proactive and caring approach truly made our trip exceptional. Thanks to Alli, we had an stress-free and memorable journey — we couldn't have done it without her expertise and dedication. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for a top-notch travel experience!

I feel like I got lucky beyond belief finding Ali Widman. While she is renowned for her expertise with skiing in the Americas and in Europe, since I happen to live in Colorado my travel needs were (I thought) outside of her "professional sweet spot". Turns out I was wrong - she has an encylopedic knowledge of hotels and experiences the whole world over, has access to a great network of colleagues with whom she can trade queries for up-to-the-minute details globally, and responded without being disgruntled when my plans changed (and changed, and changed). As a former hotel development professional myself, I will confess to being "particular" about hotels and that didn't trip Ali up at all -- she hit it out of the park with everything I asked her for. THANK YOU, Ali and Team Fora!
