Questions to ask your client before calling your Ski.com Mountain Travel Expert

1. What are your client's preferred travel dates (or their window of opportunity for traveling)?

2. What is the make up of the party? How many adults, children, teens, seniors? Is it families, couples, singles, others?

Resorts determine lift ticket pricing based on age. To get an accurate quote, having the exact ages of children is important.

3. How many bedrooms are needed?

4. What type of lodging and accommodation is your client interested in? Hotel, condominium, private home? Budget, moderate, deluxe or luxury?

5. If booking multiple hotel rooms, would they need to connect?

6. If hoping to book a chalet or apartment, most will ask they be booked within a Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday window (though they don’t need to book the full 7 nights). Would these date ranges work for your guest?

7. What level skier (or snowboarder) are the members of your clients party? Beginner, intermediate, advanced?

8. Do you need ski-in/out or would a walk or shuttle to the slopes work?

9. Do you need direct access to ski school?

10. Do you need to be within walking distance of dining/shopping?

11. Do we need an older village with classic European charm, or are they open to a newer resort (generally with a lot more ski-in/out options)?

11. What is your client’s budget?
