This is not your average travel agency, they are a passionate and ambitious bunch of ski and snowboard enthusiasts, with a love of the mountains and a desire to help people create and book their perfect ski trip.
Outstanding customer service and expertise are at the heart of everything they do, they love to create wonderful customer experiences, and this is reflected in the professionalism and commitment of their award-winning team. Small but rapidly growing team, and now is a very exciting time to join the business as they launch their second specialist ski travel brand.

You will spend your days conveying your passion for the mountains to our customers, where you will talk them through their ski holiday in detail, taking great care to understand the customers needs before researching and creating their ideal trip. You will become a true ski specialist and develop an inside knowledge of our resorts. We are looking for a confident salesperson with the ability to work to targets and close a sale, but who equally understands the importance of first class service.
