Hi Carol, I had a great time at the Snowmass during my stay and met my expectations. Before I talk about my trip, I want to express my thanks to you. I have been taking ski trips to various ski resorts and you are the only person I can truly say you are born to be a person what you are doing. You are so kind, precise, accurate, polite and understanding so well and know to the pinpoint what we need. For example, your small note on the confirmation package with things to remember is one of kind no one ever paid attention to when I made a reservation. Your full service from the time I was making reservation to the end of trip and beyond is so remarkable which we do not see any more these days. When I was talking to you over the phone for anything, your information and statement were so helpful...

Sharon,
I wanted to let you know just how good your packages are when compared to other companies. The price quote we got back from {ANOTHER SELLER OF SKI VACATIONS} was over $600 more, AND they couldn't get the accommodations we wanted for the dates we wanted! If we can do this again in 2010, we won't waste time shopping around. You offer the best prices and excellent service...thanks again for all you've done!

I just wanted to thank you for a lovely skiing week in Telluride. The weather was spotless, and the place is indeed very, very nice. You were instrumental in steering me into the right arrangements, and I'm grateful for that. Too bad I didn't spot you going down any of my favorite long runs.

Hi Carol,
On behalf of our ski “team”, Adrien, Enma, Robert, Elaine, Eronis and Maria, I'd like to send you a heartfelt thanks for all your help in organizing our skiing week in Snowmass. We had a wonderful time, the accommodations at Timberline were perfect, as were the restaurants you recommended. It was a most memorable holiday and we look forward to another one next year.

Danielle,
Founder’s Crossing in Winter Park was awesome! The place was fantastic, and definitely walking distance to the lifts. Our particular unit was on the roadside, ground level. We just got up, got dressed, crossed the street, walked a short distance, took a left hand turn and voila! We were ready to go.
Ski school was great, our daughter loved it. Everyone was super friendly and I loved the fact that there were no lines. We timed it perfectly, going mid week also. I will remember those dates and time of week. Everything was fairly priced, and we had great weather.
Thank you for all of your help. Oh yea, renting skis instead of packing them was the best thing ever! Actually the airlines charge you for oversized luggage now, so it really ended up being a minor expense when you looked at the big picture. Plus, I skied on a pair of skis that I could never afford to buy…..
Thanks again, we will be in touch next year.

Hi Taylor,
I wanted to thank you for your superb customer service and your responsiveness to meeting my needs. I travel about 75 days a year and I have to say that this trip is definitely on my top 10 list of the most pleasant travel experiences I ever encountered, and I contribute that to your prompt service, industry experience and the quality of your professionalism. I also wanted to let you know that the employees at the Colorado Mountain Express (airport shuttle) and the Quality Inn (hotel) were sooooo accommodating, friendly, and very pleasant to deal with that I would definitely recommend them to any client you send to Colorado. The entire trip went so smooth and the boys and I had such a wonderful time.
Thank you!

Annalisa,
I want to thank-you for setting up our Austria ski trip, which was absolutely amazing. The skiing was great, views were breath taking, food was delicious and the villages were so unique and quaint! We met so many friendly people from all over the place. Martin Wolf, Lech Ski School, was wonderful and he took us to Lech-Oberlech-Zurs-St.Anton-Zuk-Stuben. We even attempted off-piste skiing, with a few spills here and there :) The der berghof rooms were perfect, although John and I ended up getting an additional double room, and the employees went above and beyond to meet our requests (sorry to say we got to know the bartenders best!). The entire Austria experience was more then we expected.
Thanks Annalisa for all of your help. Keep in touch and we'll definitely recommend you and Ski.com in the future.

Hi Katie and Cheryl:
Here is an email from our client direct from St. Moritz. As you can see, they are having a ball.
Many thanks to you and everyone at ski.com for helping us arrange this fabulous trip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
January 25, 2008
Hi Rick,
What can we say other than UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!! We are definitely having the time of our lives- St. Moritz it an incredible area. It's like Tahoe and Beverly Hills, rolled into one, with a mountain that is at least double the size of Mammoth!! We have been busy since we left, and haven't stopped....you know the energizer Bunny. We left Friday night, arrived Saturday night to a hotel that was hopping with people. The bar was full as we walked in, so much energy. We were hungry, so once we checked in, we went back down , as the restaurants were closed but the bar area served food. People watching like you can't believe....I swear, some of the little dogs have more jewels in their little outfits than most people.
You know Allan- had to hit the slopes first thing on Sunday- yes, the next morning. We skied all day, got acclimated to the mountain, and completely exhausted ourselves. The hotel is magnificent- 5 star deluxe. Service is wonderful, food is great, and the concierge has shown us all kinds of things to see and do.
Rick, you've got to book yourself a trip here- you would be so at home!!! Beautiful mountains, beautiful people everywhere, and more places to spend money than you can ever imagine. There's even a CASINO in our hotel- haven't gone yet, as we haven't felt like getting dressed in suit and tie, yet....Thursday is the day we clean up and go out and about with the crowd!
It's been warm, right around freezing. The runs are very, very long, and wide, and somewhat hard-packed. Not as many snowboarders as Tahoe. Today we got a chance to really explore the mountain- will share pictures when we get back. The views are spectacular, there are at least 6 or 7 full-course restaurants right on the slopes. And the diamonds and fur coats are everywhere. (I can't imagine wearing half the diamonds I see on people, let alone while skiing.....).
Will definitely fill you in on more when we have lunch after we return, but in the meantime, just wanted you to know we truly are having the time of our lives!!!
Thank you so much for such an incredible journey!!!!!!!
D. and A.

Dear Danielle,
I just wanted to drop you an e-mail to let you know how much fun we had skiing and Mountain Thunder Lodge was fantastic. I really appreciate everything you did and Blue River Sports was very good to work with and the equipment was the best we have used since we have been going to Colorado. I plan to keep all the information from this trip and will be in contact with you for our trip this year. I will definitely refer your name on to my family and friends for future trips. Have a great 2008!
Thank again,
K.W.

Dear Sara,
We just back home late last night from our fabulous ski vacation in Snowmass, Colorado, thanks to you, Francesca and Ski.com! My family and I are so impressed by how easy you made the entire process. From the moment we finally landed in Aspen (in a snowstorm on Christmas) and had High Mountain Taxi Service waiting to transport us to the Laurelwood Condos, to the vouchers at Four Mountain Sports for impeccable service and great equipment, and the perfectly situated Laurelwood, out trip was wonderful and memorable! The management staff at Laurelwood were friendly and very accommodating. Francesca's dinner reservations were great choices each night; each meal was memorable.
I will definitely call upon you again to help plan our next ski vacation, and recommend you to our family and friends as friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely cost efficient!
Thank you very much for coordinating our Christmas/New Year's ski vacation in Snowmass!

We all had a GREAT time. I have never gone on a trip that had so many challenges getting to and from in my life! Pam and I really appreciate the extra effort that both of you did to make this trip turn from what could have been a total disaster to such a success! With the exception of the flight issues, every part of the trip was flawless. The move from one condo to the next was no big deal because all we had to do is go down one flight of steps. The condos were located in a great location and were beautiful. We never got on the bus! The weather was cold but blue sky the first day and snow the remaining days. (that was a mixed blessing, I have been four times and this was the first trip I saw snow; however, after the delays, I kind of started wishing for not quite so much snow) Although it cost us a little extra to stay in Denver it actually worked out better. We got a good dinner, good night's rest and Pam and the kids flew back to Bham and I flew to Atlanta to get my truck. They were home by 2:00 and I was home by 5:00, rested and ready to go out for New Year's Eve.
We came home wanting to stay longer (the true test of a good time) with many pictures and priceless memories!
I will keep your email addresses and recommend you to anyone I know that is looking for a trip
Thanks again for your efforts,
J.S.

Hello Carol,
Just wanted to drop by and say Thank You for all your help in making my trip to Jackson Hole very enjoyable. I just got back in town yesterday and had a wonderful trip. Everything worked out as you planned from beginning to end. The weather couldn't have been any better with snowfall just about everyday we were on the slopes. I can't think of any trip I've taken in the past where all travel arrangements went exactly as we anticipated.
Thanks again for making this one of my most memorable trips! Hope to work with you again in the future!!

Carol hi,
Your timing is impeccable, I received a greeting card & yes I agree, it is time to book ahead. You were amazing to us last year, we had the time of our lives and booking through Ski.com took away all the frustration we otherwise experience when trying to book a holiday. I am looking forward to working with you again to plan this trip.

Thank you Jackie,
I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful job you composed our group ski trip this year.
As a result, our trip was great. We had a wonderful time at Soelden, Austria. We were very pleased with our accommodations at the Hotel Bergland.
The hotel was the right decision for the location and an amenity aspect.
The staff was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Also food was excellent.
I'm look forward to your assistance for our future trips.
Thank You,

Lori,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for intervening on my behalf for the problems experienced at Beaver Creek this past Christmas. As you know, I am an avid skier and I have been booking ski trips with you for a number of years both personally and by my firm. On every occasion, if there has been a problem, both you and Sherrie have been tenacious advocates on my behalf and I wanted you to know this has not gone without notice.
Please feel free to utilize this email with your boss or the appropriate individual at ski.com because I would like for them to know what a wonderful representative you are of that organization.
J.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
February 14, 2007
Dear [Carol]:
I am taking a moment to write to you about one of your agents - Lisa Lilly. …You definitely have a gem among your agents. When making the original booking Lisa was a sheer pleasure to work with - knowledgeable, helpful, courteous. When the chips are down is when you usually learn about the real person. Today, the chips were down. We ran into a very serious problem with a client and one our Ski.com bookings. Lisa not only put up with us and all of problems throughout the day but came through in every respect. The only good thing about my day today was Lisa.
Thank you for having Lisa in your employ.
Best regards
S.G., Travel Agent

Hi Bobbi,
I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that we had a wonderful time on our trip to Vail. Mother nature was good to us with about 18" of new snow during the week. On the big powder day we skied run after run of fresh tracks in the back bowls and blue sky basin.
All of our travel plans and the accommodations worked out great. We really relaxed and enjoyed everything. Thanks for your help and attention to detail.
We will talk to you next year!

I am a new client of Ski.com and had my first experience today with Cheryl Frymire. I wanted to report to you the remarkable experience that Cheryl has provided me. I called for a last minute get-away to a rather vague location to leave tomorrow and return on Sunday. AND I wanted a cheap trip!
Cheryl worked diligently to look at a broad range of options, focusing on price and quality of location. Meanwhile, she continued to set my expectations during her research time and provided me her direct phone line. She followed up quickly when she needed to research for an answer and didn’t want to keep me waiting on the phone. Cheryl was friendly, patient, proactive, and also able to relate well to a fellow solo travel. She emailed responses to my several questions and was also flexible to work around my technology constraints. Finally, in stating my travel itinerary, Cheryl went above and beyond to provide her home telephone number in the event that I had questions or concerns while traveling alone. Incredible. I have already told many of my friends about my experience.
Cheryl has made my week and made a last minute ski getaway possible at a very reasonable price! Because of my experience with Cheryl, I will certainly recommend Ski.com to friends and colleagues. As one who works directly with clients myself, Cheryl has modeled customer delight. What an asset to your operation.
Many thanks,
Amanda

Hi Bobbi -
Just wanted to let you know that we had a fabulous trip to Big Sky! All went smoothly, and the Big Horn Condo was perfect (except for housekeeping insisting on putting queen size sheets on a king size bed!) The weather was great and the 12" of fresh powder for our last day was the icing on the cake. Too bad the temps were 10 below by then, but we made the best of it. By that nite it was 22 below, so we weren't too sorry to leave the next day. It's quite a spectacular area, and we also had a blast snowmobiling thru Yellowstone the one day. Thanks for all the arrangements.
Thanks again for everything, and keep us posted on any last minute great deals that maybe just Tony and I might be able to take advantage of!
J.P.

I just want to applaud your 3D maps. I like to get a look at an area before I ski there and this is a better way for me to visualize the mountain than with a 2D map. Good job.

Hi Lori-
I just wanted to thank you for planning our recent trip to Park City.
We had a great time. Everything worked so smoothly- without a hitch.
And the best part-you even managed to have it snow while we were there. Nice job!
Thanks again and I'll be in touch the next time.

Thanks for holding the space and I will get back to you ASAP.

Hi,
I wanted to pass along to you the wonderful service provided by one of the concierge at ski.com named Francesca. My daughter and I spent 5 wonderful days at Deer Valley and all of the special arrangements were made by Francesca.
We were very pleased with our accommodations at the Chateau and the dinner reservations were perfect. I spoke with her at length about what kind of cuisine I was looking for and she was very helpful in making suggestions as it had been over 5 years since I was there. I almost felt as if she was responsible for the 2 feet of fresh powder that fell the day and evening we arrived! You are fortunate to have someone of her caliber on your staff and I wanted to share my appreciation with you.
Sincerely,
K.H.

Re: Tom Nugent
Mountain Vacation Specialist
Dear Sir:
I have worked with Tom Nugent through Ski.com for the past seven years. My family and I have skied at a number of resorts throughout Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and British Columbia. Working with Tom has been a pleasure, and I have found him to be extremely helpful in selecting our accommodations.
In the past I have found Tom to be extremely professional and knowledgeable with regards to all of the resorts that we have visited over the years. His honesty is overshadowed only by the courteous manner in which he has dealt with me over the phone. Probably his most unique quality is the fact that he really is a “straight shooter” in that he has never acted in a deceptive way when describing accommodations at a specific resort. This type of service is invaluable and certainly is not available through your standard internet discount travel agencies.
I consider Tom Nugent to be a good friend, although we have never met in person. It certainly is nice to know that I can call Ski.com and have somebody whom I trust to give me useful and accurate recommendations when I travel to ski country. In closing, I think you should feel fortunate to have such a hard-working, dedicated individual working at Ski.com. Tom always goes the extra mile to give the best service possible including working on holidays. Most recently he actually got a message I left on his voicemail on New year’s Eve and took the time to book a flight and accommodations for me, and I was quite impressed with his extra effort.
Sincerely yours,
D.S., D.O.

I am an expert skier who skis every week and once a year at a destination resort. This is absolutely the best resort guide I've EVER come across ! This allows me to verify the TRUE proximity of the lodging being offered on the typical 1-800 reservation #. I can also review the type of skiing a resort offers like; above the tree line, chutes, alpine, faces, bowls, all of it !! Amazing work ! Please keep it up and add more. I am sending this website link to my entire community of skier friends.

Just wanted to write and say what a perfect vacation we had! Everything went off as planned without one single hitch! Leo was wonderful; knowledgeable and more than ready to help at a moments notice. He was full of suggestions and we would follow him anywhere! The hotel was charming; exactly what we were looking for.
My immediate family and I are considering your Cortina trip next year. We'll look forward to the details. We just hope the airport isn't as far away as Munich was from Innsbruck. That's the only thing I would've changed about our trip.
We will highly recommend ski.com to anyone we know! Thanks again for all your help and how easy you made everything!

For the last three months, I have had the pleasure of booking a variety of reservations through one of your agents, Connie Morrell. She was my first contact with ski.com, and what an impression she made on me with her knowledge, her pleasant phone manner, and her professionalism. I am new at my job as personal assistant to a well-traveled couple who have very particular likes and dislikes, and over the course of my contact with Connie there were changes that had to be made, upgrades, etc. Connie never wavered in her professional demeanor, always just as polite, warm, and businesslike as one could hope for. She must have been very busy with all the ski reservations this time of year but never gave the slightest indication of being swamped, tired, exasperated or anything. Always classy and gracious, and the travel documents she sent to me were beautifully presented in a timely fashion, thorough, and accurate.
I don't know how many employees you have there, but I hope you know what a jewel you have in Connie. I am already looking forward to next December to start booking with her again. Ski.com is certainly fortunate to have her on staff.
Sincerely,

Martha-
I just sent off an email to the hotel in Kitzbuhel to tell them how wonderful they were; I would recommend the Goldener Grief to anyone going to Kitzbuhel.
We were treated so royally by the Lufthner tour company as well! They sent a guide with us on the bus from Munich to Kitzbuhel; her name was Veronika Schussmann and she was thee best! Just so personable and helpful. She helped arrange all the tours for non-skiers to Innsbruck and Salzburg, a sleigh ride after skiing and told us all sorts of interesting things about the area. Once again, I would highly recommend her and the tour company to anyone you send there.
We are talking to friends about the 2007 trip to Argentine and Peru already; I sure hope you can join us as it would be great to see you again and also, have you as our expert on So America. If you can't come, we better start taking some crash courses in Spanish! We will have our group picture parties in early April so hopefully, we can have a price by then. Thanks again.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have just finished two years of working with Adventures on Skis/Ski.com. I have been taking groups to Innsbruck, Austria for the past 19 years.
Two years ago I switched to Adventures of Skis/Ski.com after meeting with Leo.
Laurie McKinnon has been the person who I worked with for the past two years. I want someone who pays her to know that she has done an outstanding job. After 19 years one would think every question and every situation would have been handled. There is always something new, and Laurie handled it.
I want to thank the support staff that works with Laurie. I am sure there are others who take care of different aspects of the trip.
This past month we had 104 people in our group. A very small number of people were a pain. I am sorry to say ugly Americans. Alexandra and Luc, our two hosts on sight were wonderful. They handled these few problems very professionally. I have known Alexandra and Luc for many years and am most happy with their service to my groups. Each year I do an end of the trip survey. Again this year Alexandra and Luc received high marks for their service to the group.
My compliments to the Hotel Grauer Bar. Their staff went out of their way for our group. The hotel received many wonderful compliments for their service. This was my 17-year staying at the Grauer Bar.
I look forward to working again with Laurie, as we have already begun plans for the next trip.

Just over two weeks ago I contacted your group regarding attempting to arrange for a vacation.
I am fully aware that is your job. However, I so have to compliment your employee (Kim Kindig). I had several days to pick from and several places to go. I must have fired back to her 9 emails in less than two hours and each was responded to promptly and wisely. The trip she arranged was perfect and I have to so my FIRST experience with ski.com was highly pleasurable and I am most sure more will be planned in the future.

Alex,
Well....just got back from Deer Valley....it was beyond our comprehension.
Alex, we thought that last year you hit the bull's eye with your arrangements. Given that, this year you split last year's arrow dead center again.
It is difficult to even describe the wonders of this trip. The transportation was perfect....The Chateau was brilliant...the food (everywhere on the hill) was breathtaking.....and the skiing...well, we had over 3ft. of fresh powder during our visit.
On top of all the above, the people everywhere were totally dedicated to making the experience easy....store your skis for free....guides if you want a skiing orientation to the courses....people at each slope map to give advice.
Alex, I have had a lot of vacations. This was so much better than anything else in my life that there really is no second place. Put us in your "tickler" file and contact us in August to set up the next year's trip....same everything!
In closing, let me tell you that I have referred you to about a zillion people and will continue to do so.
Thanks again.

I wanted to send you a quick note regarding the assistance your staff provided before, during and after my recent trip to Snowmass/Aspen. Words can't explain the overwhelming pleasure my group, especially me, received from working with Hans for the reservations and Francesca for literally taking care of everything else.
I'm probably telling you something you already know but I wanted to express my gratitude. Hans is very well informed and very friendly, putting a group of very picky guys, based solely on my conversations with him, into wonderful accommodations. Francesca went over and above, even while off duty to make our trip that much more special. She is truly magnificent at what she does.
In closing, thanks to ski.com for a wonderful trip!

Dear Joel,
I'm very tardy on getting this "thank you" note out to you for the wonderful accommodations that we had for our ski trip!
The Pan Pacific was the right decision from both a location & an amenity aspect. The staff was very attentive, extremely friendly, professional, the facilities were clean & the location was superb. We had a blast talking with the staff (what a delightful group of young people) & they were basically at our beck & call whenever we wanted to go somewhere or get picked up. You were correct - we did not need a car...we could have used more snow, but we did not need a car!
When we're ready to travel again for a ski trip, we will be in touch! You're the best!!!

Dear Ski.com,
I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your efforts in booking me and my family a wonderful trip to Keystone, CO. We had a great time and the accommodations were excellent. I received an email from Ski.com regarding low air fares on United Airlines. Can you quote me a trip to Breckenridge between the dates of February 11-18th, 2006. I am flexible with the dates but would like to be there on February 16th for sure (its my wife's birthday). I'm looking for something reasonable, near the lifts, to include roundtrip air, lift tickets and ski rental for 4 days, ground transfers and lodging. I've also copied a friend of mine to whom I've highly recommended you to him for his ski travel plans to Winter Park or surrounding area. I'm sure he'll be pleased with your efforts. Thanks again for the wonderful service...........

Dear Ski.com,
I am very pleased to be writing to let you know one of your employees is doing a fantastic job. Even though right in the middle of peak booking season, S.K. goes over and beyond the call of duty to see that my many requests are handled in an efficient and timely manner. She is very patient in dealing with the many changes and the "what if's" posed by my clients. Not only does she quote a rate over the phone, she follows up with an email. This is most helpful and enables me to keep track of what has been quoted.
In this day and age when everyone is so quick to criticize, I wanted to let you know how nice it is to work with someone who actually delivers excellent customer service. S.K. is a true asset to Ski.com.
Keep up the good work and here's to a successful ski season!
Sincerely,

Re: Follow-up for Zermatt Trip
Dear Ski.com,
Thank you for my best vacation ever!!! The spring snow was fine and it even snowed on the 4th day. I had five wonderful days skiing and achieved an advanced level. I loved exploring the town and enjoyed the cultural diversity of people- I was totally at ease as a single traveler and made some nice friends. Hotel Albana Real was perfect- very helpful, convenient, and a beautiful place to stay. There was opportunity to explore other areas of Southern Switzerland, but I preferred hiking around Zermatt. I'd love to return for more skiing in Zermatt- perhaps earlier next spring. Please send the information on summer skiing- I am not sure I'll have the opportunity for a summer vacation, but I may be able to swing it. Absolutely, I am interested in your program to Austria as well. I understand that skiing in Austria is more challenging by the less smooth nature of the slopes- I'd like to learn to be comfortable in all skiing conditions.
I'd look forward to your assistance for my future trips.
All the best,
L.

Re: Commendation
To whom it may concern:
I recently organized a ski vacation with Ski.com and wish to write to express my high regard for your sales agent, C.B., who helped arranged the trip.
From the first phone call I found her manner to be friendly, enthusiastic and professional. It is a refreshing change to encounter good service standards and I was very happy with the service I received. To top it all off, the trip itself was wonderful and a great time was had by all.
I shall certainly contact Ski.com for any future ski vacations.

Just a quick note to let you know how much I enjoyed the Blue Mesa on this trip to Tride. A real "save" from Resort Quest and Ski.com. So, thank you for your time and patience planning my trip, your expert advice on which unit to book and for exceeding my expectations for the accommodations.
Perhaps over the summer you'll help plan my snow-search in Argentina!
R.B.

Dear Ski.com,
You may hear complaints when things do not always go as planned, but I want to let you know what a wonderful job your travel agent, K.P. performed for us on our recent ski vacation.
K.P. was thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and efficient. As a result, our trip was great, with excellent accommodations, travel connections and value. Our two teenagers have wanted to go skiing for years, but I was always overwhelmed about where to start.
As the date of our trip approached, I was a little apprehensive as to how it would all turn out. I need not have worried. With K.P.'s expert advice, our week's stay in Keystone's River Run Village was absolutely perfect for us.
You may be sure we will recommend and use your services in the future.
Sincerely,
S.T.

Dear Ski.com,
I'm writing this letter to praise one of your employees. Recently, I booked three separate ski trips that I had to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances with each client.The first one was for my brother and D.E. worked so diligently on various options for him and his wife. He had to cancel due to scheduling conflicts.
The second was a $17,000 trip for a party to the Ritz Carlton Club in Colorado. They cancelled in less than 24 hours and D.E. went the extra mile and lowered their $4,000 penalty to one for $250.00!!
Lastly, I had four young men traveling to Salt Lake City to ski. Unfortunately, we had a massive blizzard here in New England and it messed up their plans. D.E. was quick on her feet and had an upbeat attitude and rescheduled their trip for me. She also went the extra mile with Delta to obtain a refund for one of the gentleman who could not travel.
I will always sell Ski.com with confidence because of conscientious employees like D.E. Please shower her with accolades because she is an asset to your company!
I promise to send you more business and will recommend your company.
Warmest regards,
S.K.
