An ode to POW POW…….

Unlike the predictable precision of groomed trails, powder skiing is a dynamic dance where you anticipate every dip and rise, a thrilling collaboration with the mountain’s natural contours. The deep, fluffy snow becomes your partner in gravity-defying stunts and high-speed turns, an exhilarating ballet where you’re the choreographer.

It’s not just skiing; it’s a masterclass in fluidity and precision, where each descent is an ode to the sheer joy of being in complete control amidst the untamed beauty of the mountain.

HERE’S WHAT SOME ARE SAYING…..

I have been arranging group travel for my ski club with Linda Kroiss and Merit Travel for many years, and I wouldn’t consider using anyone else! Linda is professional, knowledgeable, and committed to making sure every detail is arranged to give us the best ski vacation we can imagine. She provides exceptional customer services, is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend her highly!

I have had the honour of working closely with Merit Travel through the 2 most tumultuous ski seasons in recent history. The constant availability of their agents, and steadfastness during unsteady times set them apart from other companies. I am beyond grateful for the experiences my groups enjoyed and relationships I’ve gained as a client of Merit Travel.

Merit Travel has always been my go-to ski vacation and travel company for the last 15 plus years. Paul and his trip leaders have always provided my ski and snowboard friends a fun, relaxed, well organized great time at a great price while skiing and snowboarding abroad. I have met many new friends over the years and will continue to travel with Merit Travel in the future. Let it snow. Cheers.

For the past 18 years, I have relied on Merit [Travel] as my ski travel consultants for our annual Private Equity Ski Summit. They have done a fantastic job in planning and facilitating many of the critical items needed for this iconic even and have gone out of their way to ensure a great experience for Deloitte and its clients. They were in touch regularly throughout the planning process; from finding and securing a venue location, lodging, dining and various excursions to significant on the ground support. The feedback I have received from our clients has always been positive and I look forward to continuing to work with Merit for our future ski events.
