The SkiBound App: The New Way to Manage Your School Ski Trip
Organising a school ski trip is one of the most rewarding experiences a teacher can deliver, but we know it comes with its fair share of paperwork, planning, and moving parts. That’s why we’re delighted to introduce the SkiBound App - your new companion for making ski trip management simpler, smarter, and far less stressful.
Launching across all SkiBound bookings for the 2025/26 ski season, the app is designed to keep everything you need in one easy-to-access place, so you can feel confident and supported from the moment your trip is confirmed through to your safe return home.
Why an App?
Because you deserve more time to enjoy the moments that matter. Teachers have told us that juggling folders, printed itineraries, and endless email attachments isn’t the best way to start a trip. The SkiBound App puts everything at your fingertips - streamlined, organised, and reliable, even offline.
“It feels like having a personal assistant in my pocket. The app gave me everything I needed without rummaging through paperwork.”
David Plommer, SkiBound Product & Operations Manager
Award-winning innovation
We’re proud to share that SkiBound was awarded the Innovator Award at the Vamoos Awards 2025, recognising how we transformed travel tools into a tailored ski-resort toolkit for school trips. This isn’t just a trophy - it’s proof of our commitment to making life easier for teachers and leaders. By customising the Vamoos platform into our very own SkiBound App), we’ve created something unique:
- Live webcams and piste maps for up-to-the-minute decisions.
- Interactive itineraries and après-ski ideas to inspire your group.
- Offline access to ensure reliability, wherever you are.
For you, this means fewer surprises, quicker decisions, and total confidence that everything is under control.
What you’ll find inside
Once your SkiBound trip is confirmed, your SkiBound Tour Co-ordinator will send you your login details. From there, the app becomes your one-stop shop for trip information:
- Live flight information and e-tickets (where applicable)
- Accommodation details tailored to your group
- Resort insights including piste maps, webcams, and run statistics
- Your full travel itinerary in one scrollable view
- ATOL certificate and insurance documents (where applicable)
- Risk assessment and Party Leader packs for peace of mind
- Après-ski ideas to keep evenings fun and engaging
- Recommended kit lists and local maps
Don’t forget, once downloaded to your phone, the information is available offline - no need to rely on Wi-Fi or mobile data in the mountains.
Designed with Party Leaders in mind
Every feature of the SkiBound app has been shaped by listening to Party Leaders. We know what matters most when travelling with a school group:
- Confidence: all essential travel documents are stored in one secure place.
- Support: key contacts and safety information are always at hand.
- Efficiency: time saved on admin means more time focusing on students.
- Empowerment: from après-ski planning to kit lists, you’re equipped to deliver an unforgettable experience.
A smarter way to travel
The SkiBound App isn’t about replacing our people - it’s about enhancing the support we provide. Your SkiBound Tour Co-ordinator is still just a phone call away, and our experienced reps are in resort to guide you every step of the way. The app is simply another tool to make your job easier and your students’ trip smoother.
