Online Instructor Booking Platform Offering Increased Flexibility This Winter

A new refundable deposit scheme from Maison Sport is aiming to give winter sports enthusiasts a head start in the coming ski season.

Maison Sport is an online ski instructor booking platform that allows skiers to find, book and review independent instructors, all in one place. Skiers can browse a wide range of ski instructor profiles and accompanying reviews to choose their perfect ski instructor based on their own unique preferences (e.g. English-speaking, good with children).

Created by a team of expert industry professionals with over 25 years of ski teaching experience, Maison Sport has had great success over the last few years as the only platform dedicated to independent ski and snowboard instructors.

Now, in response to the ever-changing travel situation, they have announced the launch of a fully refundable deposit scheme that will allow customers to book months in advance, offering increased flexibility to adapt to changing travel restrictions.

Maison Sport customers can now book their favourite skiing and snowboarding instructors around the world with only a 20% deposit, months in advance of the winter season. Simply find and select your instructor, put down a 20% deposit and pay the full price 24 days before the lesson.

The hope is that this new scheme will reassure travellers who are still unsure about making bookings for this winter and encourage more skiers than ever to use Maison Sports’ platform.

Should their plans or government restrictions change, customers can receive a full refund, as long as the cancellation takes place 21 days before the scheduled lesson. Customers also receive notifications prior to the full payment being taken, with email notifications sent at 2 weeks, 1 week and a day prior, allowing plenty of time in case of unforeseeable cancellations. The deposit scheme can be used by individuals, families or large groups looking to hit the slopes this winter, for any skiing or snowboarding lessons that they have in mind.

Co-founder Nick Robinson, comments: “If the last year taught us anything, it’s that plans, and especially travel plans, can change. As we become more hopeful about booking holidays for this winter, Maison Sport wanted to give our customers extra security and peace of mind, which is why we introduced our 20% deposit scheme.

“The scheme’s aim is to reduce some of the stress that has become associated with booking holidays amidst changing travel restrictions and to reassure customers that we are on their side. Want to see our customers excited about their upcoming holidays, despite the unpredictability surrounding travel. We are really looking forward to seeing our excellent instructors reunited with clients as they work to achieve new milestones together.”

This winter, you can book for resorts across France, Italy, Switzerland, and also Scotland. This is sure to be music to the ears of those planning to explore what the UK has to offer when it comes to snow sports, as well as those that might be more apprehensive about international travel.

Maison Sport will be available at the Scottish mountain centres of Cairngorm Mountain, Glencoe Mountain, Glenshee, Lowther Hills, Nevis Range and The Lecht.
