Wintersports
Everything you need to run ski schools, dry-slopes, snowboard hire, and bookings all from one dashboard.
The challenge of running a wintersports business
Whether you're a classic ski school in the Alps, a dry-slope in the UK, or a snowboard academy, you’ll face a specific set of headaches:
Conditions change mid-week (snow, weather, slope availability) and knock your schedule around.
Staff must hold qualifications (instructors, coaches, avalanche/safety or dry-slope certs) and their availability varies.
Equipment (skis, boards, boots, helmets) needs to be tracked, rented, maintained, and assigned.
Group bookings, school trips, corporate bookings add complexity: different pricing, different waivers, batch payments.
Last-minute cancellations, refunds, and weather-related re-schedules eat time.
Walk-in hires vs scheduled lessons vs memberships, all different flows, all under one roof.
Multiple activities (lessons, hire, memberships) and sometimes multiple locations need a unified system.
