What type of company are you?

Ski Trip Advisors is a ski vacation wholesale company. We establish key relationships in ski resort communities to compile a network of vacation products that we offer at discounted rates to our customers.

 

Why are your prices so low?

As a ski vacation wholesaler we receive discounted rates from our resort partners in turn for marketing their products and providing them with a certain volume of business.  As a smaller company with low overhead, we have less of a markup than our competitors which results in a lower price for you, our consumer.  In fact, we are so confident in our prices that we back it up with our Low Price Promise.

 

So you have low prices but what about customer service?

We pride ourselves on having superior customer service. We want your repeat business and want you to tell others about Ski Trip Advisors. We know that the only way to achieve this is to go above and beyond for customers at every opportunity

I am nervous about booking with an online company. How do I know you are legit?

Our track record speaks for itself. We have helped thousands of travelers and have been able to maintain an "A" rating with the Better Business Bureau. We are also backed and accredited by ARC (ARC-accredited agencies are the most select group of dedicated professionals in the U.S. travel industry only receiving accreditation after meeting stringent financial, operational, and security requirements). But do not take our word for it, please ask around. Talk with any of our travel suppliers (resorts, condo management companies etc.) to learn for yourself why Ski Trip Advisors is rapidly becoming a well-known name in the ski vacation planning and ski resort communities.   

 

What does (2 of 3 days, 3 of 4 days, 4 of 5 days, ....and so on ) mean regarding lift ticket pricing?

The first number is the number of days you have to ski,. For example: 3 of 5 days you can ski 3 days out of a 5 day period starting when your ticket is scanned in the lift line for the first time, so if you start on Monday you can ski any three days between Monday and five days later (Friday).
