Anyone used www.directski.com before?

Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:47:09 GMT

Found an incredible deal on their website, 4* HB in Soldeu incl. lift passes, ski hire and lessons for the kids for less than GBP500 p/p, going 9/1/2011. I remember paying this just for my flights and accomm in Niederau last year.

Seems too good to be true, just wondered if anyone else had any experience with them.

that seems a decent deal but its the very quiet time of the season so may be available even cheaper closer to the date? + would wait till the snow arrives in Soldeu as it can be a bit sparse at that time of year ( so GBP500 for not a lot of skiing isnt so cheap after all)

I used em on my one and only package ski holiday. Val d'Isere in a catered chalet, 1 week with passes. Can't remember prices and apart from a bizzare arrival where 30 people ended up in a closed hotel drinking tea, it was great.

I took a group of 30 to Kaprun 2 years ago all went ok no ski passes or hire included but hotel was as described transfers where ok only draw back was a small plane very cramped and hot, the airline did loose my skis but paid up toreplace them so all in all not a bad holiday I would use them again.

I went to Sauze with them 3 years ago, it was actually a Panorama holiday. They are basically a broker. Nothing wrong with them, they simply sell packages at cheap prices from time to time.
You may find the holiday on their website on the tour ops website at a different price, in which case I would give them tour op a ring and ask them to match or beat the price.

That deal to Solden sounds a good one.
I'd book it if I were you.

That is an incredible deal, I don't think you can go wrong. If I wasn't already booked up I would have had a punt myself. :wink:

Hi Folks,

I'm Sales & Marketing Director with Directski.com

Great to hear Coop's post about his deal for under GBP500. There's plenty more where that came from.

We are actually an independent tour operator rather than a broker. This means that we charter flights, make contracts with hotels, put our own staff in resorts and transfer you to resort on one of our buses, stick it all together and sell it on for a small profit.

Our constant aim is ensure we're "Helping Skiers ski for Less". We think we're better placed to do this than any other company. We're a relatively young company(10 years), we've a relatively small team (about 20 staff plus resort staff) and we never stop asking ourselves if there's a better way to improve our processes, cut out inefficiencies and ultimately make more ski holidays less expensive for more people to enjoy.

In fact, we've taken the bold decision in the past couple of weeks to stop taking bookings by telephone. We don't want to stop talking to our customers but we believe that our website is the best out there for the booking of ski holidays. We realise that this isn't going to suit everyone but we can't be everything to everyone. That's just too expensive, inefficient and would ultimately push the cost of our holidays up.

Sorry to rabbit on. Please feel to contact with any questions, comments or general rants.

Happy skiing for 2011
