Building the Booking Platform for Ski Schools and Instructors

Find a Ski School helps schools and independent instructors take bookings and gives their students an easier way to rebook. Skiers and snowboarders can compare providers and book directly where online booking is available.

It Started on a Chairlift

“I spent years teaching skiing. Taking bookings often meant checking a notebook and returning calls between lessons. I built Find a Ski School to make taking bookings easier for schools and instructors and help them keep a direct relationship with the people they teach.”

How Bookings Bring Students Back

A family’s first booking can make it easier to rebook a favourite instructor and find lessons for a future trip.

  1. Take bookings through Find a Ski School

    Schools and instructors publish lessons and manage availability. On paid plans, providers can also take bookings through a widget on their own site.

  2. Make repeat bookings easier

    When students return to the same resort, they can book with the school or instructor they know.

  3. Help students find their next lesson

    When those students ski somewhere new, they can use Find a Ski School to compare providers by lesson type, level, and language.

How the Business Earns Revenue

Find a Ski School earns revenue from paid provider plans and commission on eligible bookings. Providers set their own prices and receive online payments through their own Stripe accounts.

No Find a Ski School booking fee for learners.

Growing Resort by Resort

We’re helping schools and instructors put their lessons and availability online, one resort at a time. We’ll measure progress by how many providers take bookings, how many bookings are completed, and how often students rebook.

As coverage grows, helping families plan a ski trip around their lessons is a longer-term opportunity.
