SkiSync has recently purchased the popular online lift ticket sales platform, LiftTickets.com. The acquisition was finalized late last summer after months of positive collaboration between SkiSync the online lift ticket seller's parent company, Snowbomb.
LiftTickets.com will maintain its brand and positioning within the online market. The URL (www.lifttickets.com) will also stay, though the launch date for the e-commerce platform is tentatively scheduled for spring of 2016.
Here's more about why SkiSync made the purchase and what it means to winter ski travelers.
Why SkiSync Purchased LiftTickets.com
With SkiSync's status as one of North America's largest winter and ski travel agencies, the move to buy LiftTickets.com was a logical progression toward expanding their offerings for current customers.
When asked why SkiSync felt the purchase was beneficial, SkiSync's Co-Founder, Stephanie Kubiak Hall stated:
"SkiSync’s mission has always been to supply travelers an easy and affordable way to plan a ski vacation. LiftTickets.com is a tool that helps us do just that. At the end of the day, it’s about bringing our love of the mountains to the masses, making a traditionally expensive experience more reasonably priced."
The General Manager of Snowbomb, Paul Ortiz, shared SkiSync's optimism.
"Snowbomb was happy to transfer the LiftTickets.com platform SkiSync this summer. With SkiSync's large scale network, we are confident that they could bring LiftTickets.com to its full potential across North America. It's critical consumer tool to combat inflating ticket prices that would other wise drive customers out of the industry."
What the LiftTickets.com Acquisition Means for Ski Travelers
Ultimately, every ski traveler will have a simple and easy method to find lift tickets through LiftTickets.com or book an entire ski vacation package (including lift tickets) through SkiSync.
For those who book their winter vacations through SkiSync:
- Individual and family winter travelers will have access to discounted lift tickets via LiftTicket.com's extensive database of participating North American ski resorts.
- Group travelers will have the ability to bundle the lift tickets into their existing group ski trips for further discounts.
For those who are not SkiSync customers:
Anyone can access and purchase discounted lift tickets directly from the LiftTickets.com website (once the e-commerce platform is made available online).
