What people have said about Ski Basics

We once again had a great holiday with Ski Basics; all our daily needs were taken care of leaving us to enjoy our skiing. The hosts this year were particularly good and managed to surpass previous high standards. They are a credit to your company.

Lisa Otterburn - March 2011

I think the company is great, the staff seem well looked after and happy, there is a feel that management are very hands-on and it works really well. I love having a private transfer, a comfortable chalet which is so well situated and a more personal service. It would be hard to go back to being herded about like cattle with the bigger companies.

Lindsay MacVicar - February 2011

Ski Basics was an extremely efficient company. Every member of staff that we encountered was very helpful, cheerful and eager to make sure that we were happy with everything. It is the first ski company that we have used where we were asked what we wanted. All the staff were very flexible with arrangements throughout the week. It is a pleasure to be treated in such a personable way. You should be proud of your team!

Kath Murtagh - January 2011

The meals were first rate - a varied and interesting menu and beautifully presented. Jenny really went above and beyond the call of duty in helping to look after my wife who was stuck in the chalet all day, and nothing was too much trouble for her! Thank you very much!

Ron McGill - January 2011

Very impressed with Ski Basics and the experience you provide your guests. I'd happily recommend Ski Basics to anyone.

Luke Canfield - January 2011

An excellent all round service - very "Honest" in the best sense of the word.

David Milne - January 2011

Our chalet host was amazing, she was friendly, always smiling and an excellent cook. I know we've told her already but please give her a huge 'Thank you' from all us boys for making our week and for making our stay feel so homely.

Ray Yip - January 2011

An excellent experience overall with a great host. The service offered by Ski Basics was way above expectation especially the drivers and the ease this added to getting to and from the lifts.

Steven Gollins - January 2011

This was our fourth Christmas with Ski Basics which is testament to how highly we rate the company, the service and the experience.

Catherine Lloyd - December 2010

A massive thanks to all of the team who not only helped but went out of their way on a number of occasions to ensure that we all had an amazing time and were looked after at every stage of the trip. 
I have already got a booking in for next year and am looking forward to bringing yet more friends out for their first Ski Basics experience!!!

Jason Bird - Chalet Cret de la Neige - February 2010

Had another fantastic holiday with Ski Basics again this year – I think as a company Ski Basics are exceptional and I would recommend them to anybody. The staff always go above and beyond to make your holiday easy and enjoyable and nothing is too much trouble. A fun, friendly and very professional company! – A*

Gemma Machin - Chalet Epena - March 2010

We would recommend Ski Basics without hesitation – in fact I would try to talk someone out of going with anyone else. We did not have a single concern, criticism or disappointment (other than perhaps the weather, but it may be asking too much of you to control that). It was a wonderful holiday for our family. Thank you.

David McCready - Chalet Brenettes - January 2010

Best ever ski holiday, well worth the journey from Australia. Chalet Blanche is fantastic and the staff were absolutely amazing. Food was unbelievably good. Luxury. All our bookings and requests were handled impeccably. Thank you to all your team.

The Rayers Family - Chalet Blanche - January 2010

Great holiday. This was our 4th time with Ski Basics and we would definitely use you again. We were comfortable, well fed, well supported and made to feel very welcome throughout. Nothing was too much trouble for our chalet staff.

Steve Cheasley - Chalet Boulangerie - February 2010

The location of Chalet Jacques is absolutely exceptional in terms of proximity to lift and piste. The accomodation was terrific and ticked all the boxes. Our host was wonderful, lively and great fun. She made us feel at home instantly. I don't think anything would have been too much trouble for her. Certainly the best hosted chalet I have stayed in. Great!

Paul Williams - Chalet Jacques - March 2010

What a fantastic holiday! Made into a truly memorable experience thanks to beautiful accommodation, fantastic food and the best chalet hosts!! We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great trip!

Peter Hall - Chalet Blanche - February 2010

We had a fabulous week at Chalet Epena and were VERY impressed by the whole set up and extra touches (lifts to slopes etc) offered by Ski Basics. From booking to going home it was a thoroughly pleasurable experience. I will definitely be recommending Ski Basics and Chalet Epena to my friends and family and we hope to return soon. Thank you Ski Basics ...simple concept, great service!

Diane Wilson - Chalet Epena - March 2010

I would 100% use Ski Basics again as I believe you offer great value for money and employ some excellent people who really do care about the guests’ experiences. 
Ski Basics have provided us with a truly excellent experience and I will highly recommend you to any person that is looking to book a ski break. A great business with great people. Thank you!

Kevin Elvin - Chalet Jacques - March 2010

I was very impressed by everything that the company did for us – advice before we went, transfers – on time and very helpful with arranging for us to change and get on the slopes whilst taking our luggage to the chalet. The transport options (for getting into the centre of Meribel and back) were not expected but really excellent. Just can't fault it and we will definitely be using the company again. A truly excellent holiday.

Joy Forrow - Chalet Boulangerie - March 2010

Drivers were unfailingly polite, friendly and punctual – always getting up to open the doors etc.
The whole team was exceptionally friendly and helpful and made us feel they really focused on us having a great holiday. They were a great credit to the company. We had an excellent holiday with faultless service – all the basics and far more beside was exactly as one would want it.
Thank you for a great holiday – and looking forward to next year.

Mark Higgins - February 2009

I have been on ski holidays for the last 8 years and have never been looked after so well the chalet staff and back up was second to none thank you all very much and i will be booking again for next year many thanks Ski Basics.

David Baker - January 2009

I think we're already getting a group together for next year! I had better customer service from Ski Basics than I've had from any company in recent memory. All the guys in Meribel were always friendly and cheerful no matter what time of the day or night you saw them!

Russell Hancox - January 2009

I would definitely use Ski Basics again and I can safely say I never received such excellent service at a ski resort before. The staff were so brilliant that we all miss them now! They went out of their way to make our holiday special and were great fun too. Food was lovely, and as a vegetarian I felt all my nutritional needs were met.

Paul Collins - January 2009

Once again Ski Basics delivered a fantastically faultless holiday at a brilliantly affordable price. The hosts always had a smile on their faces and produced great food and endless tea. The drivers were always there when needed. The drivers as usual were the fount of all knowledge pointing us in the direction of the best conditions. This is an amazing company and you should all be very proud of the service you're providing. We can't sing your praises highly enough.

Martin Hicks - January 2009

What can I say but a huge thank you to everyone for making our holiday such a special one. The service was impeccable – no one could do enough to help, a definitive testament to the quality of recruitment selection. The food was spectacular and the chalet perfect. You've set such a high standard that I'm positive should we ever go anywhere else I'll be sorely disappointed! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Roger Withinshaw - January 2009

Thank you yet again for another fantastic holiday. It's great to come away and feel so welcome and not have to think about a thing. Your choice of staff and chalets is top notch and all being well we will be back again next year. Thanks guys.

Neil Dobson - January 2009

All the team were impressive as always. Our 6th time with Ski Basics and we are booking for next year. It's so nice that a lot of the team return each year so we know people

Fiona Rendall - January 2009

Everything ran like clockwork – it was seamless! From the transfers, to the meals, to getting to and from the pistes – it took the headache out of the holiday!

Owen Daniels - March 2009

I can't recommend or praise the organisation highly enough. The service was reliable, impeccable and above all genuine which was such a treat. The chalet staff, particularly the quality of the food was fantastic and all of the team should be congratulated because catering for 20 rowdy skiers/boarders after quite a bit of après–ski is not an easy task!

Kelly Miller - Chalet Marini - 19th January 2008
