EXPERIENCE THE SKI ADAPTABLE EXPERIENCE, FIRSTHAND!
Ski Adaptable believe it is very important for party leaders to have the opportunity to experience the resorts we offer first-hand. In order to reassure yourself, your colleagues and of course your LEA, we organise an annual group inspection trip visit. In 2015 we will be offering party leaders the opportunity to visit Andorra.
HOW IT WORKS
During the visit you will be accompanied by the Ski Adaptable team who will assist in showing you the local area so you can experience the quality of hotels offered, the après ski activities available, the local ski school as well as giving you the opportunity to sample the superb skiing in resort.
If you have not yet booked a group ski trip with Ski Adaptable for the 2014/2015 or 2015/2016 ski season, we can still offer a free place on the Ski Inspection trip based on the premise that if you book a Ski Adaptable trip within 6 months of returning from the inspection trip, no cost will be incurred.
In addition, the inspection trip provides an invaluable opportunity to complete any necessary risk assessments and health and safety requirements well ahead of your ski trip. Whether you choose to take your group to Grandvalira, Vallnord or to one of other amazing Ski Adaptable resorts, you will be able to sample first-hand the Ski Adaptable experience and ensure all safety, financial and operational questions are covered.
1 free teacher place per school/college for any group leader who has already booked their ski trip for the 2014/2015 ski season.
If you do not go on to book a trip with ourselves within 6 months of the Ski Inspection trip the cost will be just £150 per person (invoiced 6 months after the ski inspection trip has surpassed).
