The national holiday periods are coming to an end for this winter which means our busiest time is over and we're really pleased with the way it went. The feedback continues to be fantastic so thankyou to everyone that has emailed us, we'll be putting the comments on our website very soon. It's been pretty much work everyday work for the last 3 weeks and only one person lost their skis - well picked up the wrong pair and used them for most of the week but with a bit of investigative work we managed to get back our skis and return the other pair to their rightful owner.
We now have repeat customers who come to Chatel more than once in a season and we're developing a network of great partners and customers who all see the benefits of our service. Both myself and Donna continue to talk about how we can improve our service even more and we'll be working on some new ideas over the coming months. One thing for sure is that SkiHire2U is here to stay! The idea really does work, it's certainly not easy and has taken a huge amount of work to set up but we're really pleased to be in the position we're in now.
As some of our Chalet partners know Donna is the management behind the organisation of SkiHire2U and certainly over the past few weeks the benefits of this has been clearly seen. Every person who has booked with us has had their skis delivered and fitted on time and the timing of the UK half term week for fittings was done in Donna’s words “with military precision”. And what a difference that made and continues to make. Customers tell us that our service is second to none and it's thanks to all this organisation that we are able to deliver such a fantastic service. One of our partner chalet owners was recently questioned about how we were doing and his reply was “man its a breeze, I don’t have to do anything with ski hire any more, these guys do everything, its brilliant” and any chalet owners or hosts who regularly transport guests to and from the ski shop will see the benefits of taking that task out of changeover day.
The weather in Chatel continues to be sunny and the season overall has been mixed. I don’t think anyone could call this season a classic in terms of the weather but we've had some pretty big dumps of snow and with all the investment Chatel has made in snow making Chatel has consistently had the best conditioned pistes in the Portes du Soleil and judging by some of the feedback from our clients the best in the French Alps. It’s still only mid March and there is plenty of season left so who knows what’s in store but we know everyone is living in hope of a few more major dumps of snow.
I start my BASI level 2 Ski Instructor course in just over a week, so we'll be keeping you up to date on that progress and am off practising for it later today.
Don’t forget if you want the best ski hire service in Chatel, Chappelle or Abondance book online with us at www.skihire2u.com or if you want the best catered or self catered acommadation in the area along with our great ski hire service book with one of our partners at www.skihire2u.com/links
So a big thankyou once again to all our partners and customers for helping to make such a great start for SkiHire2U.
