Season Highlights: Wrapping Up an Unforgettable 2024/25 School Ski Season
As the final chairlifts wind down and the snow begins to melt on the slopes across Europe and North America, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has been another incredible season for SkiBound and the many schools that travelled with us during the 2024/25 ski season.
With over 40 years of experience behind us, this year we were once again reminded why we love what we do: helping schools create unforgettable moments, offering support at every step, and delivering outstanding value and care both in the UK and on the slopes.
From First Timers to Familiar Faces
We were thrilled to welcome new schools to the SkiBound family. St Michael’s, who booked their first-ever ski trip with us, summed up the experience beautifully:
“I found SkiBound by chance on Google… I think we struck gold. The service from coach transfer to hotel staff to reps to ski instructors and everyone in between has been absolutely amazing. What a result!”
Equally rewarding is the loyalty we’ve built with schools who continue to trust us year after year. Sevenoaks School shared:
“After so many years (15+) using SkiBound and Clubhotel Skilt in Les Menuires, the company still delivers the best ski trip for our school and we shall be back next year.”
Cronton Sixth Form College, another long-time partner, noted:
“We've used SkiBound for the last 10 years. The service from start to finish is outstanding, as is the student experience.”
Exemplary In-Resort Service
This year, our resort reps, hotel teams, and instructors were once again praised across the board. Whether it was the helpful staff in Austria, the responsive reps in Italy, or our Clubhotels in France, our on-the-ground teams were vital to ensuring smooth and memorable trips.
St Andrew’s RC Secondary wrote:
“Our reps, Tom and Ruby, were brilliant and made our stay 10/10.”
Pinner High School appreciated the consistency:
“A thoroughly enjoyable and challenging trip… High standard of accommodation, transfers, and instructors.”
And from St Benedict’s Catholic School, a glowing review of the whole experience:
“The service from SkiBound was first class, from the help received from the office staff… to our ski rep in the resort.”
Inclusivity and First-Class Support
We’re proud to support all school types and needs, from large comprehensives to SEND provisions. The team at Bramfield House shared:
“As an SEND provision, we were looked after by the team at SkiBound from booking to departure. I would highly recommend to all educational providers.”
Sherfield School called it:
“An adventure of a lifetime… wonderful memories for the students.”
And Gosforth Central Middle School added:
“SkiBound ran a smooth operation from start to finish, creating an unbelievable experience for staff and pupils.”

Safety, Planning, and Peace of Mind
We know school trips are about much more than skiing. They’re about safeguarding, communication, clarity, and giving school staff the confidence to lead a trip knowing every detail is handled.
All Saints Academy shared:
“SkiBound have been the most impressive… The standard of accommodation was excellent as was the ski instruction and the après available.”
Davenant Foundation School wrote:
“Very professional, well organised… the in-resort support being exemplary. The quality of the skiing and instruction is also to a high standard where safety alongside enjoyment is paramount.”
Grays Convent appreciated the simplicity of booking:
“Going with SkiBound was very straightforward. The UK ops team are friendly and communicative. The rep out in Italy was outstanding.”
And Quinton House School highlighted:
“Well organised trip from start to finish, good communication and a useful new app – Vamoos!”

Moments That Matter
In the end, school ski trips are about creating moments that students and staff will never forget. Whether it’s a first turn on the slopes or a group dancing at après, those shared experiences define what makes a school trip so special.
Lode Heath School recalled a standout comment:
“Comments like 'this is the best week of my life' really show how much these opportunities have an impact!”
And Downlands School perfectly captured our philosophy:
“SkiBound have that local touch sometimes so sorely missing from larger providers – that’s what makes them special. You feel like they are on holiday with you.”
