Getting to the resortsThe route to the slopes couldn’t be easier
Once your clients arrive in Calgary or Edmonton, they’ll want
to get to their resort as quickly and comfortably as possible.
Helping them select the most appropriate transfer option for
their needs can be crucial in ensuring they relax into their
holiday from the start.
For small parties, shared scheduled transfers usually offer
the cheapest option. There are however, a range of private
transfers available, which are often more convenient and, for
larger families or groups, can be just as cost-effective. We
can also provide car hire options for clients who want more
flexibility during their stay.
At Ski Independence, we like to take the hassle out of travel,
so we’ll recommend the best possible options to get your
clients to their resort as quickly and as smoothly as possible.

Accommodation optionsSki Independence: making the right choice easy
At Ski Independence, we carefully hand-pick all our hotels,
apartments and condominiums so that you can make
recommendations to your clients with the confidence that
their accommodation will match their expectations.
Our huge choice of hotels include everything from traditional
family-run favourites to unashamed 5-star luxury. If clients
prefer to self-cater, we also offer a large selection of
condominiums, suites and lodges, some with pools and spas,
including great value, modest options for the more budget
conscious.
Our aim isn’t to offer every property in a resort, but instead
select ones we feel are best suited to the needs and tastes
of UK skiers. We’re also conscious to select properties across
a range of price points, giving you appropriate product for

guests’ expectations have not only been met, but exceeded.
We look forward to welcoming many more Ski Independence
guests in the future.”
