I was referred to this company when searching online tonight, and ended up booking a holiday with them, as it was ridiculously cheap going to the place I have been after going to for ages, and at the right time.

Thing is, I dont know anything about this company. Anyone got any experience of them?

I think their sister company is Equity Ski!

OK. Enough with the cloak and dagger stuff already.
Its all well and good posting "OMG" etc, but no one has actually said anything of worth about them.

I have just checked them out, and they are the "stripped down" online version of Equity Ski. Basically, you can order a basic package (flights, transfers and accommodation) without all the add ons that Equity provide, including ski hire, lift pass, lessons, etc. Many people I have spoken to rave about Equity Ski, so I dont really see what the problem is.

They are also paid up members of ABTA and ATOL, so my money is safe. Am I having my leg pulled here, or do people actually know something I dont?
I was hoping to find someone who has used them or Equity Ski in the past to be honest, in order to obtain some first hand experience.

Agreed!

Folks, if you have something to say about a particular operator you need to be clear and explicit and speak from first-hand experience please. It's simply not right to "cast aspersions" without backing it up.

To be clear - there is no problem with airing grievances here but it has to be done in a way that's fair to those being discussed and that allows a response (if necessary).

So, can we answer Tony's question - has anyone used them?

Tony_H, I used RocketSki for a trip to France. The booking, flights, transfers, ski-pass purchase, ski&boot hire, and hotel check-in/out all went smoothly. I don't expect anything more from a non-premium tour operator and also as part of a group of guys going skiing we just wanted to ski.
