Ski.com Announces Project With Tech Company Umapped

Mar 28, 2016

What:
Ski.com, North America’s largest provider of custom ski vacations, has teamed up with Umapped, a mobile itinerary resource, to offer travelers and agents additional services.

Why It Matters:
Ski.com is a preferred partner of American Express, Signature Travel Network and Travel Leaders, and travel professionals from these consortia will be able to collaborate with Ski.com and travelers to add additional components to itineraries. The new alliance with Umapped means that Ski.com will soon be delivering live, interactive itineraries across all major platforms. The tool provides travelers with consolidated trip details and curated recommendations to enhance their stays at various resorts. In addition, the multichannel group chat feature will offer real-time communication between Ski.com, travel professionals and travelers, opening up the opportunity to generate incremental revenue and engage with customers.

Fast Facts:
- Founded in 1971 and headquartered in Aspen, Colo., Ski.com is North America’s largest provider of mountain travel packages. The company specializes in custom ski vacations to more than 120 resorts in the U.S., Canada, Europe and South America.

- The Umapped platform is white labeled for travel brands and consolidates bookings, curated content, and real-time context-sensitive information into a social and mobile tool for travelers.

What They Are Saying:
“We are excited to be working with Umapped to collaborate with our consortia and agency partners and to deliver a leading-edge social and mobile experience to our traveling clients,” said Harry Peisach, president and CEO of Ski.com. “Beyond the bookings, our travelers will now be able to easily find and view our curated resort recommendations as well as continue to add to their trip plans as a group.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Ski.com,” said Lisa Israelovitch, cofounder and CEO of Umapped. “We will be working closely to develop relevant, contextual and real-time offers around the resorts that begin before departure and during the resort stay that deliver value to travelers and untapped revenue for both Ski.com and their agency partners.”
