“We’re all the time going to be upgrading lifts; we introduced a brand new raise for subsequent 12 months and that’s important. However I believe we have to notice additionally as an organization and as an trade that it may possibly’t simply be about lifts. It’s not the one factor that issues to folks. And in our minds we expect there’s know-how that may make an enormous distinction. How folks use know-how within the digital expertise, the way it makes it simpler for them to hire skis, the way it makes it simpler for them to attach with their ski teacher, the way it makes it simpler for them to get meals, the way it makes it simpler for them to get round a resort or total e-book a trip. I believe these are all issues which are important that basically communicate to the whole thing of the visitor expertise once they come to us. These are issues the place we actually have a singular benefit as a result of we personal and function all our resorts. They’re all on a typical platform.

That’s the place we’re placing our focus.”
